They stated several year ago that the melee combat was going to be kinda like a 3rd person view, but if you did any kind of ranged class it was going to be a first person view. I normally have played ranged classes, whether ranger types or casters, and when I had read that it turned me off from wanting to play Darkfall. I really hope they decide to change it, but it won't matter anyway since even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able to play Darkfall with our move coming up.
