    3rd person option?

    With co op we can see all of our friend's animations. Flawed or not =)

    Ubisoft? Can you not add third person so I can see my own char?
    I can see over the shoulder of my pets and other hirelings PLUS my own friend's chars like third person would.
    I would also like to see the outfit my char is wearing since we actually made our char this time around. It would be a nice option to add.

    So please? Can you add that as an option for the single player game?
    Oh and um... can we play as animals for fun if our friend's unlock fangs for hire? Would LOVE to get all in a cultist's grill with a Griz =)

    That would be awesome if they did, but I am not so sure it will happen.

    I would also like a third person option as well.

    Have the posters above considered how much work is involved in added 3rd person view after the fact?

    No, I didn't think so, but do ask away...

    I prefer 3rd person myself but I am under no illusion that this will happen.

    This.

    It’s not going to happen and nor should it. You must have known it was a FPS when you bought it (the clue is in the name given to the genre). It’s not like you’re left wanting on the third-person games front.

    No reason the OP and anyone else can't request features or provide feedback. I bought the game knowing it was a FPS, and accept that. I still think 3rd person would be a great feature though. I also think it's extremely unlikely to happen for FC5.

    It would be nice to see this feature to be put in far cry 5, but my concern for new features that should be added to this game is an option of a new game+, rather than just resets all of the outposts after completing the story which is already present in far cry 3 and 4.

    Yes, and as a stop gap measure just have some random peggies still be around after you beat everything.

    Agreed. No reason at all.
