Yes. I ageee. Options are “always” better!
But in this particular case, I can fully accept the fact that CDRP has a vision. I trust them with their reason to go this way, this time.
Watching that city, with some huge vertical level in house building, from a first person perspective might be the more immersive way. So much more immersion that they decided to go 1st person only when on foot in the city. And i sure trust CDRP that far, to have thought about the audience missed out when going that way.
For me it’s a special case as we (probably) haven’t seen such a dense huge city to play in (I’m hammering that vertical level bell again) before. Could be wrong here.

And yes. It’s always shXX when some people are left out.
