skyrim 3rd person ?

can you play skyrim in 3rd person mode ?

i read it was a 1st person game but seen a clip on youtube and it was in 3rd person so you can play the full game in 3rd person ? i really dont like 1st person games

You can, but it would still play better in a 1st person view.

Yup you absolutely can but it's really way better designed for 1st person view.

Just in case you didn't know, you can also play Morrowind and Oblivion in 3rd Person, but the 3rd Person animations of your characters in those games are prime examples of how to make animations look bad ^^

Yup. I like to mix it up. If I'm doing something and I want to be more aware of my surroundings I'll go to 3rd person. If I want to be more precise in what I'm doing I go 1st.

You can play it in 3rd person, but this p.o.v. mostly exists in the game for you to look at your character. It is designed to be played in first person.

Definitely. I played the entire game in third-person (Well, except when utilising archery) which I never thought I'd ever do after trying it in Oblivion.

Ya, but it sucks sometimes. I noticed that after a while into the game the camera gets closer and closer to your character, and pretty soon the camera will be sitting on your right shoulder. It blows.

Combat in general is better in first person anyway.

I've played Skyrim almost entirely in 3rd person. You click in the right stick to change the view.

There is a third person camera but it's purely cosmetics, the game is designed with first person in mind, especially the most important part of the game - combat.

I use 3rd person from time to time but use first person for combat

I use 3rd person mainly. Only exception is when sneaking in a tight area and archery.

Not sure why people are saying its meant for 1st person. In many ways 3rd person is better in Skyrim.
