Xbox's Avowed Is Fully Playable In Third-Person, Confirms Obsidian

This news has me way more excited for the game. Hack and slash type gameplay works better in third person in my opinion.

Third person is great option another game that should have been third person is Indy.

Very excited for the 3rd person mode.

@OldGamer999 : Let's just hope Indy gets a 3rd person mode as an unlockable in the near future.

I also read the game is about 30 hours to complete without to much exploration and not undertaking to many side quests.
And the map is joined and opens up as you progress the story.
Being honest sounds good to me, sometimes you can have a to big open world and to many hours.

I tolerate 1st person at the best of times. 3rd person is always a winner for me!

I can't wait for this game I really enjoyed the outer worlds an option for both 3rd and 1st person Is always welcome

Good, then I won't have to see them all moan about it for months on end.......

I take that back, they're still complaining about Indy.

In any case, I'll be playing it in first person

I think I'm much more likely to play this in 3rd Person but I'll decide after trying both. In general, I don't tend to use both but try both and pick which I prefer. Often with shooting (like Fallout, Starfield) I prefer First person but if I'm swinging a sword and dodging in that CQC melee combat, I'm playing in 3rd Person.

There is something weird about swinging swords in First person, the view/animation just doesn't look 'right/natural' to me, as if the body is far too stiff - although that's more to keep the camera a lot more steady/static.

can't stand 3rd person indoors but like it in the great outdoors.

I much prefer 1st person. I plan to try 3rd person but doubt I will spend more than a few minutes using it. Cool to have options tho.

I get more and more exited for this game this more I learn about it. And Im thankful it’s gonna be shorter like Outer Worlds. I didn’t even attempt to play Assassins Creed Valhalla over its bloated length. I’ll take these kinds of games over bloated open world games any day of the week.

W for the home team

Just wish they would announce the damn release date at this point

Excellent news, 3rd person is my preferred playstyle and I'm really hopeful this game will deliver.
Unlike some others here, I love these games all the more when there is a huge open world to explore - I often spend more time just exploring and seeing what happens than sticking to the story path. But I'll take the game they deliver and if its a solid enjoyable 30 hours, I'll be happy enough!

Now you have my attention.

Options are good. I wonder if it will go into First Person when you talk to someone.

Very nice! I just hope the character doesn't float or ski around in 3rd person mode.

30 hours long and 10 years to make. I kid, I kid. It's time for a launch date though. I mean we kind of got one by accident but that could have been a placeholder. It's my only anticipated game right now. Other then maybe Outlaws but I'll need to see some gameplay before I jump on that.
