I do have to say that I don't really like first person perspective
in these games. I know I grew up with enough games that were like
that, but it feels limiting in comparison to 3rd person view.
Just a pet peeve of mine. 

 
I too prefer seeing my character.  That probably goes all the way
back to 2d flat turn based RPGs for me.  But for real time games it
gives a tiny bit more field of view, and I get to see all my gear and
whatnot.
 
I know some FPP games have had mods to add it in, but really you have
to have a model with movements.  Apparently OW only has an idle model
which you can see when you don't touch the controls for a minute.
 
I understand it's a lot more work to make such a model with all the
movements though.
 

I assume it would be. I don't quite get the great reviews the game has
supposedly gotten, to me the graphics and game design look somewhat
lackluster so far.
But oh well, lets see what happens when I progress further.
