Implement First Person View in upcoming patch?

With all the other issues they need to iron out, I'd say that something like this should be considerably low priority. If they can integrate this feature without messing something else up (heh, maybe), then fine. But honestly, I don't want them tinkering and adding things to the gameplay that could potentially ruin something else. Of all the things that ain't broke, the combat mechanics are the.…er…ain'test? 

Well eventually they are going to have to implement it if they ever want VR support.

When that bridge approaches I will discuss it which I doubt it will. Not everything is going to need VR. It's just a fad coming back.

You can have pretty detailed games in first person view too, nt exclusive to just 3rd person. The fps thing was only for multiplayer anyways and it was a prototype (test, specifically for ME3 stand alone multiplayer ) that they eventually dropped. Far as I'm aware there never was a reason why it got dropped but years later (2015) people asked about a fps mass effect again and the devs said it's to expensive and risky, which I can agree with. Mass effect is known as a 3rd person franchise, going fps is unknown territory to its fans and the result would be a huge question that could result in various scenarios. Im of the belief there's no reason to do a mass effect FOS unless it can stand out from the other fps games in terms of gameplay as to many already play the same. So really the first person thing never really failed as it's never really been given a chance to see how an audience reacts to it.

the OP though is asking for a way to include fps view though, not to make it strict first person only, which various games do like Bethesda games, GTA, etc etc. I don't see the harm in that case but it's something I'll probably never use.

You got it!!!

Not if it is just an OPTION.  I am not saying "Make mass effect a First person shooter, no more third person view at all!"

I am saying let people hit a little button on their device and switch between the two if they want, it's not like that would ruin anything.

And I understand you too

How so?

This game would look awesome in VR. The only way I would want 1st person in MEA.

I need the third person view to have some emotional distance from all the killing. All this talk about female representation, nudity, whatever and nobody ever sjw'ing about shooting thousands.

Just a thought here.

Have you guys considered that should the unlikely event of such a feature ever be implemented, you have the option to not use it and continue to play only in third person?

This attitude of 'I don't like it, so nobody else can have it' seems a little selfish to my way of thinking.

It's all academic in any case. There's virtually zero possibility of first person mode for Mass Effect, save at the hands of the modding community, who have already created a first person mod for Inquisition.
