Just one of the many reasons the first person perspective sucks for RPGs.
Absolutely agreed!
I can't agree, it works very nice. Best example for a party based RPG I know is KOTOR. Time has passed since days of Ultima or Baldur's Gate RPGs, which use the ISO-view, so it's not a bad thing, if you use 1st/3rd person perspectives in current games. The question is if we really need a party in Larian's next RPG...
