Before I buy the game I need to know if avatar first person view is available, or is it third person view only ???

I know that I am one of the very few that play in first person, but It is my curse.

Eagle, nice avatar!  Is that from an old D&D book?  I recognize it.

At best, in ship combat it is CLOSE to first-person; but honestly it's third-person.  Avatar combat can become first-person, but the mobs like to run around you during combat which is annyong as HELL.  So I've found you must use third-person in avatar combat.

Thanks, yes my Avatar is from the Thieves section of the original AD&D Players Handbook. My very first character was a thief, so I find it fitting.

 

I assumed that the ship camera view would have to be 3rd person, I can live with that. As long as I have the option for 1st person view for character movement and such I think I am gonna pick it up and give it a shot.

Thanks for the info !!
