Usually, people tend to say that 1st person perspective is way more immersive than 3rd person because it is closer to reality and things like that.
But today, when I started Cyberpunk 2077 and when I was walking around I noticed that this could not be further from the truth (for me at least). As it turns out, when my view seems to be perfectly centred and a person is standing in front of my, I'm looking at their chin. Thus, it follows that my eyes are roughly at chin height and I'm apparently either playing as a dwarf or an oompa loompa or something like that.
From my perspective this ruins immersiveness because the perspective is totally wrong. While a 3rd person view has an even wronger perspective, I think this wrong 1st person perspective just hits uncanny valley.
Maybe it is exaggerated because I'm on the taller side myself 1.88m (6.16ft), but I cannot understand why developers keep doing this. Or am I the only one annoyed by that? It would be interesting to hear your thoughts...
I know this is probably too much, but I would be grateful for an height adjustment option :D
