In Mass Effect 2, all the aliens, robots and ladies want to sleep with Commander Shepard, whereas in real life I'm shunned by society in large, and women in particular.

I much more prefer 3rd-person view so I can pretend I'm a spirit from another world controlling the thoughts and actions of a man whilst flying a yard above and behind him. It makes sense.

i walked into the soapland district, entering the nearest rubdown parlor. i glance at the secretary behind the counter, lowering my kamina shades a bit so we can meet eye to eye.

she gives me a knowing smile. "i'm here for the dead or alive special," i quip.

the secretary blushes and nods, standing up to reveal toned abs. as i am suplexed into the floor i think, "yes. this is what i wanted all along"

I liked how in Morrowind the 1st person view was the regular "you can see your forearms and hands and gear" but then in the 3rd person view your character actually walked with their arms unnaturally high up with all their stuff in front of their face like some kind of horribly posed mannequin

very immersive

the xcom interceptor let's play was pretty good because of things like this

all missiles fired had a set speed they were at that wasn't affected by yours so you could fire a missile and have it instantly rearend you

in morrowind every single drug is directly stacking so you can drink a billion sujamma (more strength less intelligence if you had to read this you are a loving scrub get out) and punch the world in half but not understand what you're doing because you have 0 intelligence

what doesn't make sense is that every other game doesn't let you do this with medicines and potions and stuff

have you considered that you are just altering your perception of time and are actually traveling at sublight speeds? Check your desk, do any of the things there seem like they have thousands of years ago turned to dust? that would be a big clue

The map used to be pretty much the same but bigger, but then there was a whole lotta nothing and it was boring. Then it was super small, but for the loading to catch up, the boats had to move at a snail's pace. The final size was months of experimentation.

There you go, uninteresting first hand account information
