Title: What POV will the game use?
Post by: Kerrick on February 10, 2002, 06:12:20 am

Will it be first person or third person? And if third, where will the viewpoint be situated?

What\'s 2nd person view?

if you look in 2nd person perspective, you look trough another persons eyes, that means that you see through the person who looks on you. (it\'s never implemented in games, don\'t know why  :D ).

Lol, that\'d be hard to implement. So writers can write in 2nd person perspective?

Post by: Bigfoot on February 12, 2002, 03:31:59 pm

its in 1st person, and im not sure if there are any other views... second person would be a bit stupid since if youd allow a plaeyr to use another players view point to there advantage.

No 3rd person perspective? Damn... X( :evil:. 3rd person view would be more useful when running and travelling.

I would like a 3d person view and a first person view as for the 2nd person view that\'s useless what if the person you seeing trough walks away??

Title:
Post by: Dwinney on February 13, 2002, 08:32:55 am

Yeah, 2nd person view is useless. :D I was hoping we would have both 1st and 3rd person views however. That way, we could switch between them. For example, when you\'re running you could use 3rd person view to make sure you\'re going in the right direction. When you\'re fighting a monster, you could change the view to first person, so you can see the monster more clearly and battle seems more realistic.

as long as there is some kind of \'radar\' or what ever u wish to call it..it should not matter...that way u can see what comin up to ur blind spot...maybe the enkindukai can hear people coming....i mean they are feline creatures right...

Title:
Post by: ninkwi njadro on February 13, 2002, 03:28:59 pm

Post by: Tearlach t'an Ailech fin Leros on February 23, 2002, 09:22:11 am

2nd person is also when you talks to a person about another person, like:

Holy Spike: heh. Isnt a wolf a canine and enkidukai feline?

Cyonamie: Holy Spike, your right but dont tell wolfman that anytime soon

there we have it, wolfman is the famous 2nd person.
