¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I definitely prefer my RPGs in the 3rd person, and agree that a 3rd person option should be present. With that said, if done right a first person RPG has the potential to be really immersive.
With how amazing the Witcher was, I'll remain patient and optimistic that this team will deliver a solid product.
I also started to wonder if they had plans for VR one day.
Regardless, I HATE 1st person, especially in an RPG. I want to make and customize my character and see her out in the world doing what she's doing. Seeing just her hands is....just no. Not my cup of tea.
I guess I'll temper my excitement for this one right along with Fallout 76.
Thank goodness for Ubi going much more narrative RPGish in Odyssey and some of the 3rd person co-op shooters coming down the pike.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
Also, 1st person probably plays with VR better than 3rd person. Maybe that's an option in their mind for a future release/expansion/upgrade.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
Even having FPV as an option reduces any review score I would give a non-shooter due too holding back the TPV combat system. FPV exclusivity reduces any review score I would give further.
I won't make an exception even for CD Projeckt.
Yeah, I feel the same.
Kingdom Come, Assassins Creed Origins, Witcher 3, Final Fantasy XV (singleplayer) to name a few major ones...no character customization and no main character you can choose to be a female. Some may have female character parts, but they are all male dominated and with little to no customization.
Another trend is removing singleplayer games entirely...every single major company is removing singleplayer. The only game to not remove singleplayer is Cyberpunk
The first one is definitely sexist, and seems to be happening coincidentally at the same time where women are campaigning (and winning) for equality (too much a coincidence to actually be a coincidence). These are companies that may "advertise" women equality, but actually behind closed doors believe the opposite. Exactly like companies (for example facebook) who publicly hate an orange haired baboon, but heavily helped the orange baboon win election so privately actually do not hate the baboon. So they say one thing, but actually believe another.
The second one is far more obvious. They want microtransactions in all games, and instead of games lasting decades (like I still play Ultima 7 and older games)...they want games to last a few years and then when servers are dead you can never play the game again. Its a pure greed decision.
Both things all happened at the same time. Which makes me think there is a secret closed doors agenda that vast majority of companies agreed to...its too much a coincidence (again) that every company is removing singleplayer at the same exact time of every other company. Far too much a coincidence. And whats with every major company suddenly removing playable females and removing customization?

Actually, that was one of the things I always thought *hurt* the Deus Ex series.
Aloha Mr Hand !
This information has been know for a long time, at least for those following the game closely, they've been developing the game from the start with 1st I believe 3rd person was also planned at least in 2013 when they announced the game, but since then they decided to remove it.
You can take it a hard-rpg direction and make it more like Shadowrun's isometric title with the combat, or you can lean further into Mass Effect territory with. They could do the whole third person over the shoulder thing like that series and I think they'd be fine for it, but at the same time we also don't know yet the decision making process they had for the choice of first person, especially given their previous titles were of the third person variety, they decided to make that change.
Can't say I ever felt the Deus-Ex series "hurt" for being first person, but I personally enjoy first person games and RPGs and am perfectly comfortable in playing from the perspective of "being" the character in most cases.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Actually what I said it's wrong, just saw a jesse cox tweet, after the closed door reveal and the game is indeed fully 1st person, my bad, but the info of first person has been known since the reveal of the game, guess they changed their mind on third person though.
The first thing developer says its "first person perspective roleplaying game".
