Ideal is to let us swap like in some other games.

This way you can play first person but still have an animated 3rd person rig for shadows and reflections.

Yes. As much as I have loved this game from day 1 (yes, day 1), the lack of 3rd person option did irk me quite a bit.

Honestly I probably would have played 1st person the majority of the time, but the option to zoom out the camera and just watch my badass highly customizable character move around and interact with Night City would have been a very very nice addition to the game.

Ultimately, I think they just had to scrap to focus on other (probably less technically challenging) aspects of the game's development.

The fact that they made an exception for this with the vehicles (now with combat as of version 2.0) points to the high probability they knew that 1st person throughout the entire game was probably gonna lose them some fanfare, so at least in the vehicles (especially the motorcycles), you can zoom out and see your customized V in all their glory.

The number one reason my primary vehicles tend to be motorcycles.

Also, lane splitting is a superpower in night city.

I think it really worked to pull the player in and immerse them into conversations and show off the insane facial animation tech that is JALI, but yeah an option would be nice.

I've loved the cyberpunk genre since its inception, and loved Witcher 3, but skipped this game because I don't like vomiting. Some of us just can't play FPS games without terrible nausea, especially when they have a field of view that can't be zoomed out very far.

They are RPG kings but still haven't got the nuances of perfecting an FPS down yet.

Cyberpunk is way too noisy in its visuals and sound. Even if you love it you'll get a headache if you play it more then a couple of hours. Had it been in third person the noise would have probably been more bearable and even a good immersion feature, but in first person it makes you giddy.
