The over-the-shoulder view is something I associate with consoles primarily because a lot of the games that popularised that view have been big flagship console games, even if I've played some of them on PC (GTA if it counts, Tomb Raider, Gears of War, Resident Evil as examples)

In Fallout New Vegas, I used 1st person for combat and switched to 3rd person when I was wandering around the Strip etc talking to people. That said, on entering the Strip, my Courier also changed out of her armour and into a nice day dress and hat...
