I just started on XB1 SSE and after becoming a WW and VL on two characters they now have a weird 3rd person perspective in regular form. When playing as mortal I prefer third person except in ranged combat and some other situations. Now when I do the view is much closer on than before I got access to the beast forms, but it is not quite the same. It is like half way in between regular third person and beast form third person. Even worse, I am slightly left of center screen and slightly pivoted to the right. It is impossible to stand or walk straight without a lot of maneuvering of the joystick. This really svcks in melee which is my preferred MO.

Is this an old thing from prior generation consoles?

Who plays "Elder Scrolls" games in 3rd Person?!?!

Hey, if that's how you like to play then that's how you like to play.

Now if I remember right you can adjust how close or far you are from the character.

Push down on the stick (and keep it held down)... and then I think you can hold a button down... it might be the "Back" or "Wait" button (but you might have to experiment) but this will allow you to set the camera to a distance you are happy with (it might simply be holding the stick down and pushing up and down on the other stick).

Hope that helps... and if it works come back and let everyone know how to zoom in and out in 3rd person.
