      To be perfectly honest while it’s neat in the rare case when a game attempts to model the body properly in first person.

      And in being blunt here. Its a stupid fucking choice.

      It makes animations hard as hell to do that don’t cause more motion sickness if not impossible. It makes many actions physically impossible to do in a playable manner. And basically breaks every trick in the book to make things look real.

      Remember even in 3d games there’s a LOT of optical illusions and trickiery that has to happen to make things look right.

      There’s some bullshit you can pull to give characters a proper body in third person, but it comes with a lot of restrictions that just arnt worth it in most cases.

      In quite a lot of games if you look down you can only see your own legs, which of course is totally unrealistic.
