When I play Fallout 3, I can switch between a first person perspective and third person perspective, no problem. It doesn't change what's happening in the game.

The sensory data you are receiving is still just sensory data whichever perspective you are using.

I see little which delineates morals from ethics. If there is a difference, it's not a difference worth discussing... at least not during a debate which aims to find out if ethics/morals are objective features of reality to begin with.
To phrase it somewhat poetically, morality is about how you live with yourself whereas ethics is about how you live with others.
Although having said that, ethics (unlike morality) is applicable at both the individual level and the group (social / community / organisational) level.
Given the ambiguity of the terms 'objective' and 'subjective', I'm now wondering whether you are using them in the grammatical sense e.g. I vs. me?

There is no such thing as an 'objective moral statement'.
There you go, job done.
No need to thank me.
Consequently, there would be no true right or wrong, then.

Truth is relational and so are right and wrong.
Truth is relational to an epistemology. (The sense of) right and wrong are relational to a baseline/threshold.
So, yes, you can. But bias is built in to this so ... no objectivity.

Can you argue that in good faith?

I would never use faith to argue anything. Faith is one of the four major epistemological failures (FART).
