Firstly I'll admit fps games do nothing for me but I was wondering, as they seem to be so popular, if you had the option to change to a third person perspective in those games would you prefer it?
I've always enjoyed seeing my character on screen, seeing how they interact with the environment, other people etc. and it allows me to empathise with the character I'm playing as more. In Skyrim I was almost always in third person except for times when my aim was being blocked (sneak-archer-assassin ftw!) and what would be the point of character customisation (aesthetically) if you can't see it. I would be interested to hear views from the other side as to why you prefer first person.
Edit: Oh I also played dishonored a hell of a lot when it came out and thoroughly enjoyed it but would still have loved the option to switch perspective as I still felt a bit blase towars the character at the end although that may have been because of the story.
