Is it possible to move the camera around the charakter? I think the 3rd person view makes no sense, when you can`t watch your character from all sides.

Yes you can.

on pc it's a console command. on console i'm not sure it's possible.

In Oblivion and the Fallouts, you could hold the 1'st/3'rd person toggle key to see your character from whatever perspective while they move around. Skyrim will probably work the same way. If it ain't broke, why fix it?

I could view my character 360 degrees in Oblivion, and besides, why is it such a concern to you?

My day is complete knowing this fact. I do like being able to see my character completely from time to time.

One reviewer also mentioned that you no long have to hold the key down either. Sorry, I don't have the source at the moment.

*Open console
*Type tfc (toggle free camera)
*Press enter
