social area camera (forced 3rd person?)

This is a small thing that may have been mentioned, but after reading Joe's recent interview, I'm hoping that we will be allowed to switch the camera type, and not forced to use 3rd person in certain 'social areas.' I would probably use 3rd too, but I'm hoping I will be able to sort of maintain the level of immersion by staying in first when I want to, even in public spaces.

In general, I think maintaining a sense of continuity between spaces is important to me, so I don't feel like I'm changing to a different game mode in some areas. And so far, their world seems like something that I want to be able to view in 1st person in any location.

I agree, I really, really want a first-person option if it's not going to be consistently first-person.
