If you saw your life in third person instead of first person.

[I am Jack's profile]

What would you do. What do you think some of the pros and cons would be?

I would probably end up using it look around corners however i think it would really suck when you had to read or write something however

 

[Insanum]

I'd be able to see the back of my head.

Mind. Blown.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I'd be able to check out my ass all day.

Damn that would be hawt.

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

That'd be bizarre. How would that work? Would you not be able to know your own thoughts?

Though it'd be interesting to see how other people see me.

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

It would make some things annoying, like typing, but be really helpful for others. Maybe if you could switch between 1st and 3rd person then that would be the best solution.

EDIT: Ninja'd

I'd be able to check out my ass all day.

Damn that would be hawt.

Or you could check out that hot girls ass all day.

You know the one.

 

[S.R.S.]

I wonder if life would be any less immersive?

I woudln't mind the change of view though only for a day at least. Driving would be a whole new meaning to me.

 

[KefZ_X]

My Awareness skill would increase by +5

I think you would you be able to know your own thoughts. that is a good qustion tho.

 

[The Only]

you can see all that hot cleavage without being caught

 

[Nurb]

I would keep getting my fat head in the way of my suddenly smaller monitor!

 

[traceur_]

I'd have a terrible time at school with no depth perception. But it would make cheating in my exams really easy.

 

[RedPandaMan]

I'd be able to check out my ass all day.

Damn that would be hawt.

I see someone else hear came to the same conclusion as me. Gotta love narcissism.

My other idea is to prevent people from sneaking up on me. That would be awesome.

 

[JupiterBase]

you could see how you look in your cool new cloths you just looted from the dead, i mean seriously who pays for anything anymore?

 

[Mortakk]

Man, I don't want to look at my ugly self all day... although at least I could tell when my hair starts sticking up half way through the day. And as mentioned, I could probably look at cute girlz without being noticed... And I could look around corners and freak people out (unless everyone else has this ability). I'd give the idea a straight "meh," some pros, some cons.

...would I at least get a targeting reticule, or must I be an RPG? And if the latter, why did I make EVERY stat a dump stat?

 

[bassdrum]

I woudln't mind the change of view though only for a day at least. Driving would be a whole new meaning to me.

But I'd be more likely to drive into objects for power ups or general destruction.

OT: Id have to agree with the general concept, which has already been stated, of utilizing such a vantage point for ill, i.e. checking out hot girls from a variety of angles you could never get your eyes to. I'm a bad person, aren't I?

 

[twcblaze]

then all games would have to be in 5th person view or they'd feel limited.

 

[CrysisMcGee]

I'd be able to see how damn good I look all the time, instead of just in the mirror.
God I love my hair.

 

[dmase]

I could see that leading to a bunch of bad camera angles and a faulty targeting system oh wait my life. Um yeah besides the mentioned perversion nope i don't see the real effect, but the bad camera angles would still be there.

 

[quiet_samurai]

People would probably be in better shape, having to look at themselves all day.
