Hmm, i do find this whole discussion very interesting.
In 'RL' we NEVER see ourselves from the front coming toward ourselves
so i think maybe the camera is set up as first person
to emulate our usual way of seeing the world,
like Pony does in mouselook .
i do use alt. key, or the camera controls at the top of the screen (go
to 'view', click 'camera controls')
to swing around to take photos,
but mostly i'm looking at the other players.
