You don't cast a shadow, even if NPCs do. Further, you seem to have a curious lack of interaction with the environment: water is undisturbed by your steps, and walking through snow/mud leaves no footprints. Rather, your whole body seems to rotate with your view, making it look like you're not touching the ground at all. Looking down, you don't see your torso or legs. Instead of feeling like you're actually there, in the game, you almost feel instead like you're simply controlling a flying RC helicopter with a camera attached to it, or driving a robot on tank treads that has a two-way TV screen for a face.įor example, you see your arms holding the gun in front of you, but everything else about your body seems non-existent. In many First-Person Shooters you might notice that something odd about your character: you don't seem to have much in the way of a bodily presence.
