I am fairly still new to this game and I am enjoying it! However what I don't understand and also don't care for is that you don't really get to see your character, I mean this game seems to be very cosmetic and we can dress up our pirate, but really for what? Just so I can see my glove? I know this isn't the main reason to play a game, BUT there are a lot of people that like to see their character, especially if we are given choices to select to customize our character to a point to our liking. I just would like to see a 3rd person view option added to the game instead of just 1st person view, sure its got its pro and cons, but hey we've all played one or the other. Anyway, glad to be apart of the pirate crew of forums.
3rd person view option
This is something that is decided at the designing of the game. The reality is that this game wasn't designed for 3rd person perspective. If they were to add this perspective it would essentially provide unintended feedback. Players aren't supposed to be able to see everything a 3rd person perspective provides. Seeing boarders and around masts just breaks the intended style of the game. Right now, it is intended that players communicate information they can't see, this is part of the cooperative aspect.
generally I like 3rd person view on games and if it were in the game I think it could be made to work. however I agree with other posters that the game was not designed for 3rd person and the restricted view is important for the cooperative aspects.
@enticed-malice sagte in 3rd person view option:
... it would be way to clunky ...
with this I don't agree. the controls in the game feel clunky and unneccesarily restrictive. I am certain that if the 3rd person camera is done right it could feel really smooth and be a good addition. 3rd person does not necessarily mean you get a tactical map kind of view.
