    I have been wondering this myself. I like both third person and first person games equally. But which do you like playing more in Skyrim? I just want to know your gamers opinions, and why you have that paticular opinion. Thanks Gamespot!

    I prefer the 1st person view...It's better for seeing what spell or weapon you use...

    First person of course. Third person view just makes me realize how clunky the animations and combat mechanics are

    I like 3rd-person view for walking around. The animations look good & I like the different walking speeds (with a gamepad). They can look a little weird when sneaking around certain environments though. Sometimes 1st-person view is better for sneaking through cramped cooridors. I tend to use 1st-person for fighting. I don't think it looks very good in 3rd person.

    I like first person because I feel it is easier to aim your weapons in especially because I use a bow very often.

    I prefer first because it makes it feel more like I am the one making things happen (i.e. picking things up, swinging a sword, casting a spell) instead of controlling a character.

    I prefer first person for sure. Third person feels awkward to me. The character sort of walks like he's been robbed of his zimoframe

    First person, all the way through the game. It makes me feel more like im in the game and not some pre-determined character.

    I switch back in forth. In combat when I get surrounded I go 3rd to see better and then 1st to focus on enemies. Roaming I'm usually 3rd, see enemy groups better.

    First person, third is only good when there are too many enemies.
