The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a great third person action RPG, but it could have easily been a great first person action RPG. That seems particularly true after looking at a new mod created by user Skacikpl. From what we saw in a video shared by the mod's creator on youtube, it looks as if it plays really well while exploring the world, and it definitely adds a different immersion to the game.
That being said, the mod does not support combat, since it would be really hard for the camera to keep up with Geralt's twists and turns while fighting. The mod automatically zooms out when in combat mode, and zooms in again when the fight is over. We haven't really tried the mod ourselves, but if you want to try it (do it at your own risk), you can find it in CD Projekt Red's forums.
If you just want to see videos of how it plays, check Skacikpl's youtube page instead.
Thanks, VG247.
