When TOW came out as only first-person, and many of us complained in the Obsidian forum, one of the devs actually posted a response saying they would've liked to include a third-person option but their budget did not allow it. Now, with MS money, this should not be an issue.
I love first person RPGs, but I can't get that hyped for Avowed because TOW is so mediocre but sold well, meaning that Obsidian might think they should do the same thing with the next game.
