First for shooting and third for exploration.
This.

More to the point, if you're male and you're playing a female character, you'll probably use third to check her out.
Maybe....It's just so hard to get an all around view in fallout....not that I'd know or anything O__O
What the hells wrong with you, posting about checking out video games? GEEZ!

1st, I would LIKE to use 3rd all the time but it just seems awkward and difficult.

I use first person, except for the odd time when I'm feeling vain.

Also, anyone who uses third person should check out this mod. It adjusts the third-person view to be more over-the-shoulder, like Gears of War.

Excuse me, but that's just being realistic. There isn't a man who plays games I've ever met who doesn't check out the females in-game. The fact is that characters are given boobs in games because people like to look at them.

And to make a minor correction, there is an all-around view. You just can't keep it while moving around; have to be still.

Would that be incest? Seeing as you made the female character.
Just a funny thought lol.

I play first person all the time. I see no need to use third person except for certain bugs and exploits in the game.
Third person, however, can be useful to spot "hidden" items. IE the mini-nuke on top of a light in one of the power stations.

My bad...I remembered that in oblivion but I forgot how to achieve it. And I was being sarcastic...although I can't recall checking out a chick in Fallout....Oblivion's a different story =D

So...how do you access second person view, as some of you apparently can? =D

I'm going to say that I'm joking advance...

I use first, but occasionally I switch to 3rd to see how my character looks. He looks awesome by the way. Outcast power armor FTW!!!

I didn't make my characters to look attractive and then not get to perv on them ow wait.

That aside i can't stand first person, this game is not halo/half life/any other FPS out there, and also lacks the information being sent out to be played like one. So i played it like Sam Fisher 3rd person style, aimings not that hard, when nobody knows you there, and also you get alot more information about your surroundings to make combat alot easier.

Another interesting point i'd like to bring up, who did/didn't use VATS? it made me feel dirty so i only used it when executing friendly characters.

I use 1st person for most of the game, but I use 3rd person when I'm in a building. i use it to sneak around and for surveillance.

I stay in third when wanderin' around but go into first when I see an enemy that might take more then 2 shots of Linclon's rifle to shoot.
I like wearing linclon's hat too and going into Paradice falls in a pre-war business suit and goin' "I'm Abraham Lincoln! Eat liberty beatches!"
Doesn't help my character is a lady....
