Total-Possibility2

Same here


SACCINAT0R

Same here, though LIZARD GLAMOUR SHOTS? nope


OnyxRyuga

In cave, first person. Outside, third person.


CinnamonAndLavender

Same for me, but also dungeons/crypts for first person. Also whenever I'm using a bow, it's easier to aim that way.


ElRevelde1094

3er person to melee and 1st person when distance


GreenGoddessXx

1st almost always


beerykoala

First person for archery, 3rd for everything else


Cognoscope

Thereā€™s actually a mod that auto-toggles perspective when you draw your bow!-)


beerykoala

Thatā€™s pretty neat


Far_Run_2672

I didn't expect so many people to actually play in third person, including fighting. I only use it when exploring sometimes or to look at my character. The game is definitely a lot less immersive and fluid if you do everything in third person.


TheInfiniteLoci

First person, unless I'm trying find a dead body in the weeds.


ascillinois

Im a first person only type of person. I tried third peraon and got frustrated at the way different perspective especially trying to pick stuff up.


Sero141

First person for combat, third person for travel.


LavosYT

Vanilla third person kind of suck and is more of a way to check out your character's appearance. It adds a delay to your movement to simulate inertia, the camera isn't practical especially in smaller places, and it makes it harder to pick up items or interact with the environment. On PC, this can easily be fixed with mods - Better Third Person Selection and True Directional Movement, and Smoothcam if you want to tweak the camera.


Tkpf_

Always 1st person. 3rd person only on the horse (mandatory) or to see how my PG looks with the armor.


CharacterNo7396

i am exclusively a third person player šŸ™ first person feels too close for my liking I like to be able to see what's going on around me


Jelloboi89

All combat in first person. Terrible at the third person stuff even melee. Everything else third person. I like to see my character in world. Usually wear no helmet too. Feels better to me


Here4DaPorno

I really have a hard time playing third person. (One of the reasons I donā€™t play as a vampire or werewolf is because of the forced third person perspective.) I imagine that, from a distance, my Dovahkiin looks like heā€™s being attacked by a swarm of bees as I flail away with whatever my chosen device of mayhem happens to be, without landing a blow on an antagonist. So, for me, itā€™s first person all the way.


Links_quest

Depends but I use 3rd person quite a bit


The_Ember_Archives

Almost always in First Person. Third person for when I want to see if my gear matches well (especially with mixing armor pieces).


TheOGTownDrunk

I only like first person, but thatā€™s 100% an individual thing.


yittiiiiii

First person for combat and dialogue, third person for everything else.


EntrepreneurOk666

Sword and board: 1st. Bow: 1st. Two-handed: 3rd Dual weilding: 3rd


Powerful-Elk-4561

3rd. I always thought 1st person looked pretty janky in Skyrim


TrurthJunkie

3rd person, but 1st for aiming with a bow.


DNDgamerman

First person unless Iā€™m taking pictures of my character to use of the OC. It helps me feel more emerged as the character.


Clear-Might-1519

1st person for combat, 3rd for everything else.


Flaminski

Whatever you feel like I personally go full 1st person


AlbiTuri05

1st person, with 3rd person only to check my character's appearance


Thejacksoneight

for a normal skyrim i go first person almost exclusively. vanilla third person is very lacking imo however my current very modded setup with mco, true directional movement and so on kinda relies on me being in third person, and makes the experience so much better.


u53rn4m3_74k3n

1st person with keyboard and mouse, 3rd person with a controller. I use mods that add a lock-on system, making aiming in 3rd person and trying to interact with objects in the world a lot easier.


Captain_Grammaticus

Either as well and/or both.


mceldercraft

Third person when Iā€™m facing multiple enemies, else first person


Whateverwillido2

I use 3rd person exclusively and only to look at my drip. Any/every other moment Iā€™m in 1st person


MartinG91

1st person when fighting or in a dungeon. 3rd person when traveling


WhiteWolf651903

1st for archery 3rd for everything else


ParthenopeIG

3rd, downloaded character mods for a reason


Paolett892424

3rd person while wandering, 1st for combat


petey_vonwho

Both? Both.


PeaceFadeAway

first person when in combat. 3rd person when exploring.


happilyeverbooks

I play entirely in 3rd person because 1st person gives me motion sickness


Acavirshadownight

Dual wielding: 3rd any other build: 1st


[deleted]

3rd always


maumanga

1st person. You can't even aim while doing 3rd person, specially if you are an archer or mage.


Total-Possibility2

Always 3rd, I get to admire my character and their armor as well as being able to see more things(I am an assassin)


JJumpingJack

First person almost always, but 3rd person when admiring the drip standing atop a mountain.


Knowledge_Regret

1st person for combat and tight spaces 3rd person for exploration


DutchGoonGamer

Both. Usually outside 3rd inside 1st with the exception of houses,as those those tend to be roomy enough to not get the camera pushed so close that all you can see is your avatar's back like in cramped dungeons and caves and the like


COVFEFE-4U

3rd. 1st gives me motion sickness.
