And Fallout 3 and NV did a great job in including the ability to switch perspectives from First to Third during gameplay, to please everyone. They may feel that the third person perspective achieves a different level of immersion for them, that they can see their character. The fact is that there are also many people who may not share the same philosophy. This strategic design choice aims at making the player embody the character you play as. There is a specific reason, for example, Gordon Freeman does not talk, and that the cut-scenes in Half-Life are all incorporated into real time game play. The problem with this is that my philosophy, and I would say many others, is that sequences like what I described above tend to break immersion. Thus, If these sequences are not immersive, then the story could be much less compelling. The main problem is that it is these interactions with characters that tend to serve most of the storyline in Fallout. Instead it employs a Third Person perspective which actually displays your own character head-on as well. Whereas it used to in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. My concern is this: Having watched the new Fallout shelter trailer (which includes Fallout 4 footage), the game no longer maintains a first person perspective when interacting with other characters (like Piper). Third person perspectives within a certain genre however, that seems to make or break games.
People seem content settling on the fact that some like platforming games, whereas you like RPG games. The issue of perspectives in games are often argued over more then any other aspect. However, if you like, you could read this as a hypothetical piece. I have been made aware of info which makes much of this post void.
