First of all it seems that I stirred a hornet's nest with the comment about being sick in 1st person view. I was joking! If necessary I'll post photos of my keyboard to prove it! Please don't kill each other. Actually the current combination of TPV and FPV is fine and it works well. I don't like to run around in FPV in general. Some games don't give me any problems at all (TF2 for example), others, like Half Life, make me feel seriously sick in minutes. I don't have these problems in Darkfall, even though I prefer to unsheathe a melee weapon when running around as a matter of preference.
The first screenshot today was taken outside one of the starting elven outposts. I stood as far as I could from the NPC that gives you the starter quests and moved forward until its name displayed next to the cursor. The distance at which I'm looking at him (actually it may have been a her, not that it matters with elves) is the max distance to get the name on tooltip, a step back and it disappears. It may seem pretty far, but you have to put the crosshairs exactly on the person and at that distance he's little more than a few pixels. It's a lot harder with people who're moving.
The fountain-like thing in the image above is a clanstone. Before I forget: an unexplained thing in a previous update was the head with triangle buff icon at the top of the screen. That's the nourishment icon that you get when you eat (to recover faster). Another thing that I didn't mention are the graphic settings that I use in game: I left them as default, which I guess means medium.
I'll conclude with the other two screenshots for this update. They are taken in the Ork capital city, one with shadows on and one with shadows off, at the same location and time of day.
