Some games, just walking and and exploring - think like a Skyrim or modern Fallout from Bethesda - 1st person just suits the game well. Third-person camera in Bethesda RPG's are nice b/c we can basically see what the player looks like. Sometimes, having the option to switch b/t different camera modes can really be helpful, for whatever reason.

amok: One thing I could add, thogh. My wife get motion sickness in 1'st person view (it's due to the way the camera moves), and she likes large open RPG's, like Skyrim. But she has to play them in 3'd person, as she then has the central character that focus for her eyes and she do not get motion sickness.

If a game has these settings or a config/INI file: turn-off head bob; crank the FOV up; turn off DoF; and turn off motion blur.
Hopefully, that helps.
EDIT:
But, really - more games should have more configurable settings anyways.
I wish more games had multiple camera like 1st person and 3rd person switching like Thief: Deadly Shadows and the some of the Hitman games. But, I'm sure that's a whole lot of work - to make animations and whatnot for both 3rd and 1st person.
