Denizen Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) When I found out that Skyrim was going to be released the first feature that I dreamed about was having a body in first person. Now this might be because I was re-playing Dark Messiah at the time but for me this would improve the game more than any other immersion or gameplay mod that I can think of because I think the game feels complete in as aspects except for this. Why can't I settle for 3rd person? Because my armour looks too cool so distracts me, and the aiming is slightly off, and my character blocks my vision. I want to be able to play in first person, then I look down and realise I am a pair of floating arms which lets be honest, the arm position would only look correct if you replaced the sword with a cup of tea! I would like to see all 1st person animation replaced with the 3rd person counterparts, complete with a torso and legs to give full spatial awareness. I think that with an increased FOV this could be amazing. For anyone who hasn't played Dark Messiah I've uploaded a couple of screens to see what 'feel' I want from 1st person. http://mthec.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/dm-04-20.jpg Edited November 28, 2011 by Denizen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsuneshoujo Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I think I get what you are saying... when you look down you want to see your feet, or your tail if youre khajiit/argonian, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uruku7 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I think he wants to see more than that. Look down, you have more than feet and if you have a tail, you might need to move it around front or turn your head. I like this idea, especially the part about how it looks like we're holding tea. Weapons should be held in 1st person same as they are in 3rd. I feel like the whole, weapons in front of you all the time thing, is a holdover from Wolfenstein that should have died a very, very long time ago.

gmillar Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 FarCry 2 is the best example of this I've seen. Every action your character can make is fully animated from a 1st person POV. Mirror's Edge is another good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denizen Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) You would have to look over your shoulder to see your tail, unless your character was scared then it would be between your legs lol@gmilalr you hit the nail on the head! I want to see skyrim like this but wearing armour and standing on the edge of a cliff instead, I think this will add to the danger feeling of traversing mountains that Bethesda were trying to get.

Pushkatu Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Who wouldn't want this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotCras Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Who wouldn't want this? Yes exactly. Absolutely loved mirrors edge, and seeing the whole body helped with immersion... which is funny because skyrim is supposed to be all about immersion... Itd be awesome to have parkour like mirrors edge in skyrim as well but thats for a later debate xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsuneshoujo Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 That mirrors edge picture freaks me out... Youd never get me that close to a ledge willingly. *shudder* Just imagining the real thing makes me feel nauseous. Anyway, I would really like to see this too and I totally agree about the wolfenstein holdover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentGrady Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 +1 Excellent idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denizen Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 There was an attempt at this for Oblivion (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36635) but was too buggy unfortunately :( Maybe because it only had 3069 downloads, I guess people couldn't see the true potential...I'm hoping there will be more support this time round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
