As Captain Picard once said: I'll accept the judgment of history.

Captain Picard in the Drumhead Episode:
"'With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged." - Quoting Judge Aaron Satie (TNG: "The Drumhead")

"What you see is truth. What you remember is the illusion." Sephiroth

"Propaganda is written by the Victor. History is written by the observer." Keepers Saying.

"Reliance upon others
Is weakness for the strong
But strength for the weak.
Wisdom and balance lie in knowing your own nature over time." -Chronicle of the Metal Age

"There A Those To Whom Knowledge Is A Shield,
And Those To Whom It Is A Weapon.
Neither View Is Balanced
But One Is Less Unwise." -Keeper Annals


"The man who learns only what
Others know is as ignorant as if he
Learns nothing. The treasures of knowledge
Are the most rare, and guarded most harshly." -Chronicle of the First Age

A quick word on third person views to anyone who comes by my profile: Paul once said:
MechWarrior Online is being designed to put you the player in the seat of the pilot. It is 100% first person view only. Being the pilot is one of our key design pillars and 3rd person breaks that pillar on multiple levels as seen in many of the other 3rd Person discussions.

We will investigate 3rd person in the far off distance for special game settings, but this is very far off in the distance.

While we appreciate those who enjoy 3rd person, MWO will be 1st person out of the gate and in the near future.

now, Russ says they are considering 3rd person? Honestly, makes me wonder where else they lied to us and what other pillars they are going to shatter for the Lowest common denominator. Not being rude here, but brutal in my honesty.
