I'm one of those people who can't handle first-person games (...motion sickness), so can anyone tell me if there's gonna be a proper 3rd person view on Fallout New Vegas?

I missed out on being able to play Oblivion for the same reason, and i didn't buy Fallout 3 either cos i heard the 3rd person wasn't really viable as a way to play through the game.

Then you missed out on 2 awesome games. All these titles support 3rd person, its not going to be as good as a 3rd person action adventure but it is defenitly a viable way of playing the games.

Well, if that doesn't work out for you, maybe try Mass Effect 2 :)
 
There is a mod out that does this:

This plugin will center the camera behind your character, raises it a little so that you can see above your head, and also allows you to scroll back much further from your character.


** Update! Now you can scroll back even further! Check out the new screenshot.


By request, I've reuploaded a version that does not raise the camera. The "unraised" version includes includes only the centered camera and the increased max camera distance.

In not one of your post you stated it had to be for the xbox.... but why do you get motion sickness of first person fallout is not that hectic that you have fast actions all the time.

Dunno... anything that's 1st person gives me a headache and an upset stomach. Once i hooked up my PC to my 40" TV and i was playing Vice City... even that gave me motion sickness, and it was 3rd person. Can't explain it.... It just is.
 
If you don't want motion sickness maybe pickup every item you can and then you'll only be able to walk very slowly. :p
 
sorry for re-igniting an old thread.
So ... has anyone played through this game in 3rd person (XB360)? Is it possible to play through fully in 3rd person or do you HAVE to enter 1st-person mode to shoot and for melee attacks or to perform an action?
 
I wouldn't play it in 3rd person. It's pretty horrible. I don't think you're forced to switch back to 1st person for combat, but it's quite hard to aim in 3rd person. I you use VATS most of the time it's not a big issue.
 
You don't want to play FNV in 3rd person, it's not a very good experience. There isn't much you can do about the motion sickness things with the console version apart from sitting further away from your screen. The PC version you can at least change the FOV would should help a bit.
