I'm just thankful Skyrim has a 3rd person option, or else I wouldn't be able to enjoy it o/* | ||

Seems simple enough so why shouldn't people be able to do it in skyrim if they have the machine for it. | ||

The rest, your brain makes you think that you can see but in actuality the resolution is pretty worthless. doesn't really apply since the same limitation is present when viewing a screen. you can still only focus sharply on a small range of vision. the problem is that we can sense movement out to 200 degrees and immediately focus on it, which is something that these games lack. it totally kills the immersion when you're trying to fight shit with tin cans on your eyes. | ||

I don't know why it got knocked down to 60 from the 90 standard that I know from quake, but hey. The consoles have been grinding their graphical limits since roughly 2007 and 2008, when they decided that in order to preserve Microsoft's promise of high-definition gaming, they started creating lower-resolution games and upscaling them. I'd posit that the narrow field of vision is their way to limit the number of things that have to be rendered in order to play the game. (Not to mention the absolute frustration that a lot of players would feel in trying to swivel their inferior thumbsticks across a distance thirty percent larger and make a killing shot before their opponent does.) | ||

You cannot possibly display 200 degrees with a flat screen no matter how large. If you want to display 160 then you either need to have your eyes super close to the screen or have a large screen. | ||

Also I play at max FOV whenever I can on a 4:3 screen, the proportion changes are barely noticeable. | ||

Thanks press ` and type "fov 100". 100 works best for me since i have this massive monitor. i'd imagine that if you have 3 monitors surrounding your face, then you can set it to 200. | ||
