This was a masterpiece and reminds me of a few other vids that fit this thread.What kind of psychopath plays EQ in first person?
Way late on this comment, but I watched a friend play EQ for the first time ever during Kunark, and he played in first person. As I was still playing UO occasionally at that point, being able to play in first person intrigued me, so when I picked it up I did the same. I ended up trying to play in third person a couple years later, and couldn't do it. So the ten or so years I played EQ, it was all first person. I also did some absolutely fucking retarded control stuff that today I don't have any idea how it worked. I know for a fact that I didn't like WASD back then and used the actual arrow keys next to the numpad. Yeah, I don't know how the fuck I managed all that as an SK with a full complement of buttons to press, and towards the end having to do that while running in circles like a bitch during raids because we were masters of aggro. In first person!What kind of psychopath plays EQ in first person?
Also played EQ in first person, mostly. Sometimes the area was too tight to turn a quad kite comfortably, so I would temporarily switch to 3rd for that corner.Way late on this comment, but I watched a friend play EQ for the first time ever during Kunark, and he played in first person.

I don't even have the "I was young and dumb" excuse, as I was fucking 30 when EQ came out I guess I hadn't played too many first person games on the computer before that, it was mostly on consoles, so I wasn't used to the control scheme yet.
