It seems to me like Bannerlord uses the same first person as Warband, where it's using the third person animations/models. But it would be pretty awesome to have a 1st person as you do in other games if possible. I can live with it if they don't but it would make it so much more immersive/fun imo.
far cry primal's bows were disgusting to use wdym? Felt like it had no weight or anything, this directly goes against the current combat system for bannerlord where everything has a weight to itFar Cry Primal's bow aim was too good
Greetings knights and peasants of all Calradia!
First person is a feature that most of people don't even use, in my case I only use it for horse riding and ranged weapons in Warband, sometimes never... My point here is to say that this feature could have been imporved since Warband, but it looks exactly the same. For example in ranged weapons why do we need a reticle in first person? You should be able to aim with the bow or crossbow "sight". I'm talking about that because of inmersion... what do you think people?
Apart from that I could talk about interface features like hitmarkers, killfeed, red walls to limit maps...
Thank you and sorry for my english!

Yes, but don't you think that people don't use it because it is really bad?
I meant that I would like to play without reticle for inmersion, just aiming with the bow or crossbow as if you try it now it's pretty hard to aim well, you have almost no reference as you see the bow or the crossbow on one side.
Mount and blade has it, but if you turn it off it is bull**** for ranged and melee combat...
Call me out if I'm wrong but bows and crossbows don't have sights... at least not in this kind of period. Not sure about first person, when I've played seemed to actually find it easier shooting in third because it didn't seem like I had to compensate the drop as badly, but I think need more playing around with it to get a feel for it. I will probably still use first person for shooting anyway, since you can block your own view in third person.
Yeah, there may be exceptions, but... While later crossbows did sometimes feature something resembling iron sights, I'm fairly confident they didn't show up on the early medieval crossbows. Still, I don't dislike the idea of using a crossbow sight to aim, on its own. It's not implausible to think someone just... drove a screw into the middle of his crossbow, for instance, to help guide his eye when aiming. Even if it wasn't a proper sight.
Only some of them had sights (some crossbows) but I'm not talking about having modern sights just being able to use part of the crossbow or the bow as a reference for aiming, as you can see here you can have no reference without the reticle:
While aiming you should be able to put your eye on the end of the crossbow, here I'm going to use Mordhau as an example, it has a reticle for bows and crossbows, i don't use them but you can hace a reference with the bow or the crossbow while aiming:
Did I made myself clear now? I mean in the first image you have no reference to know where the bolt is going if you don't have the reticle, but in both of mordhau pictures you can clearly know, maybe bow is harder, as it is in real life.
Thank you all for the answers!
