There's been a fair few third-person RPGs out since then: Inquisition, Fallout 4, Andromeda, Dragon's Dogma... etc. They're just the ones I've played, and I tend to not get about very much in my gaming! The genre is still very popular. But as I mentioned... somewhere, anyway, various games allow you to change perspective from isometric through third person to first person depending on your preferences, some as different options, others depending on camera zoom and angle. I think the current engine probably lends itself to doing this so will hopefully cater to everyone.
Fair point, I forgot to add them in my mentions. I thought more in the veins of
Two Worlds II and
Skyrim (explore fantasystuff and maybe you can jump).
Fallout 4 is it's own game in my mind and I consider Inquisition more of a party game, than a classic Action-RPG or what my idea of those games are. I also never played
Dragons Dogma, so it can be, that I really missed something special.
Still, shapechanging could give us all the tools to get in areas, that we may not find at first. I think that the Larians had planned something like this, when they did the Directors Cut of
Divinity 2.
