CaptainRAVE Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 I chose 3rd person as this is easiest in combat situations with the lightsaber and is the vies I always took in JK when I had the lightsaber on. This poll will probably not be very close as I sense the general opinion from the forums is 3rd person views. What did you all vote for and why??

Denise Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 I can't really understand how anyone can stand 3rd person, but I've known for ages that I'm in the minority there. The only time I use third person in JK is if I'm breaking in a new mod of some sort and the swings have been changed. Even then, I change to first as soon as I'm familiar with them. Edit: As for why, my situational awareness simply functions a lot better when I'm "in the body" instead of hovering over her shoulder. The wider field of view doesn't compensate for the more awkward aim, and odd as "aim" complaints may sound when dealing with saber combat, one does need to aim. It's hard to describe. I don't feel very threatened --and don't react as fast as I could-- if I just see someone rushing at an abstract 3d model that's supposed to be "me". If you're coming directly for my very viewpoint, though, I'm going to be very well aware of the danger.

Darth Simpson Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 3rd person. I've tried 1st person a few times, and it's not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 Sorry, but I can't vote on that one. I like both 1st and 3rd, and I'm not going to choose between them. Why is there no option for both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-s/<itzo- Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 i got to go with 3rd person view definetly. you are more aware of your environment from incoming projectiles or sneaky little b@st3rds tryin to get you from behind. i hate those kind of players.

thehomicidalegg Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 i wouldnt last 15 minutes using 1st person cuz i get nauseous by just running along twisting corridors, let alone in sabre combats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 It's been said already, but 1st person leaves you vulnerable to attacks from the side and behind. If there was some [affordable] way to offer peripheral vision, i'd play in 1st person... but in the meantime, 3rd person is the way to go for me. -Anakin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
