First or Third person? Options

[Renee]

Which do you prefer, First or Third person? I am mostly a 3rd person gamer for Bethesda titles. I'll switch to 1st occasionally, I'll do this while decorating or looking for something which is lost, for instance.

But here's the real reason I started this thread. I have this whacked-out theory, I wonder if there's any truth to it. For those who have played table games, especially long ago. There were two basic ways to approach table games.

-- 1). play-act everything, essentially you'd 'voice' your character.
-- 2). use lead figurines, such as these.

We used figurines around our table, back in the '80s. We'd see our characters at all times, just like seeing pieces on a Monopoly board. I think this has something to do with my preference for 3rd person. I wonder if anybody here was more of a play-acting type, and prefers 1st. Probably not, but I had to wonder aloud.

Thank you

But yeah; first. Always first. I like to experience the world directly through the eyes of my character.



Should have added a poll, Renee!

I know. But I am also wondering about those who played table games... DnD, The Fantasy Trip, Call of Ctuhulu, Warhammer, and so on. Those who played these games without lead figures, are you more of a First Person gamer for videogames? Those who did play while using figures, are you more of a Third Person gamer?

I couldn't figure out how to add one, which is odd since I just added a poll to the thread I started earlier this summer.

Thing is, there are (what?) less than 20 of us posting here at Chorrol. Do we really need a poll?
