Is there any way to "force" 3rd person view?

Post » Fri May 04, 2012 2:50 am

I did a search but either I'm not using appropriate keywords, or I'm the only person in the world who prefers 3rd person viewpoint - as I get older, 1st person view causes me some issues with the camera movement....

I've had no luck searching for mods for this either. Does anyone know if it's possible at all, or if there's a mod out there somewhere?

Umm you can just hit tab once and you'll stay in third person but other then that there isn't really a mod for forcing it all the time.

Hmm. Tried that to begin with.... All it seems to do is give me a "static" view of the front of my toon. As soon as I wanted to move, I was back in first person. I'll check again later when I get back in game, in case I missed something....

I only return to first person view when I hold Tab (or whatever key you have assigned). If I just press it (just tap it without holding the key down for long), the game switches to 3rd person view without issues.

I have no issues playing in either first or third person view. In fact I go back and forth all the time.

It more like feels that some mod or key mapping is already effing up your game... Originally, you can switch between 1st and 3rd person angles by pressing Tab button, and this holds true with all unpatched to heavily modded games and everything between. :P

Thanks everyone.... I was apparently holding the key down instead of just using it as a toggle. Appreciate the help!
