User blog comment:Grizzly Bear/Writing In Third Person!/@comment-2240864-20140531193657

Third Person Omniscient is one of the most descriptive methods of storytelling, allowing exposition and description to flow out of the narrative, instead of told by the characters who may or may not know all the information. It allows you to tell a story without limiting yourself to one character's knowledge and presence. You cannot have MEANWHILE AT THE HALL OF JUSTICE in a First Person story unless they went there.

And even though I tend to write in 3PO, I do like to obscure the names of characters or villains who have not yet presented themselves for a more authentic experience.
