Same for me. Ironically, I also feel more apart of the world if I can see my character in it rather than see from his perspective. Also, I’m always a sucker for character creation and customization, which is largely wasted in first person. That is the main reason I’m not at all excited for Cyberpunk. I’ll get it in a few years probably.
Seems like a prevalent mindset among a subsection of RPG players, which is interesting given first person view provides the best immersion/conditions for roleplaying by far. Then again, nor did I never really understood the hordes of guys preferring to play female characters in RPGs - because they prefer to stare at a female pixelated butts lol
I think that with first person it is easier to feel like I am present in the physical space and experience the immediacy of certain situations. If I am role playing a character, however, I’m not imagining that I am there. I Imagine what it is like to be this distinct character who is not me, and personally I find that it helps to see that character inhabiting that space. Plus, a big part of being a character in that world is deciding how my character looks in that world.
I’m with you I’m not understanding staring at pixelated butts though.
