3rd Person Perspective

I feel like 3rd person view would be a nice feature to add to the game where you can toggle from 1st person to 3rd depending on which you want to use at the moment. At times there are too many things going on and I feel like 3rd person would help me take everything in better. I mainly say this is needed for melee characters, imo its hard to keep track of enemies when they’re up close and circle around you. Plus it would be cool to see our characters while we’re playing, it would make me feel more involved while playing, being able to control and see my character doing these amazing abilities. I would also love to be able to see Benedict (my main) flapping his wings lol it sounds dumb, but I want to see how he moves and flaps his wings while I’m playing as him. The character skins also seem pointless if we can’t see our characters unless we taunt. What do you guys think? Should 3rd person be added into the game as an option next to 1st person?

Personally I feel more involved when I’m seeing through the eyes of my character instead of being a camera floating behind them. Also as mentioned in a previous thread, third person players would have an advantage over first person players due to being able to see around corners and behind their character.

You might be a bit dissapointed there, I don’t think he really flaps, he more just holds them out. Also, this was discussed in another thread that I can’t find atm. Basically, it would give people playing in third person a huge advantage. If you’ve ever seen or played GTA V in first person, you can probably tell what the difference is. Playing first person in that game instead of third person in a competitive game would basically be like intentionally putting yourself at a disadvantage. If they were to have this option in Battleborn, people would need to play in third person instead of first person to stay competitive. The game was clearly intended to be experienced in first person, and that’s part of what makes the game unique. If third person were on option, everyone would be inclined to use it, which kind of takes away a major aspect of the game.

The game shouldnt be third Person it will ruin it.
The 1st person aspect is just a matter of l2p boldly said ( no offence meant ) , play phoebe as my main and really sucked at the beginning and yesterday I played 25/3 k/d with her, the first person is truly awesome and just requires some time to get used to.

I’ve been shot so many, many, many times because I couldn’t see my enemy, Montana has tiny people swarming him, and other characters I didn’t spin at the right speed when I got circles danced around me.

It’d be nice to have an option of POV!
