When I first started playing the game, I could zoom my mouse back and then rotate around my character and take a screenshot of Zoric standing triumphant. Now I pull back and I can only look from the backside. What did I change that I can no longer move the camera around?

PC version... of course.

well when your weapons are drawn the camera is "locked"

if you want cooler screen shots, hit the "~" key and type in tfc and hit enter. hit "~" again to exit, boom free camera. rinse and repeat to return the camera to normal.

Agreed, I think this is the problem too. If you weapon is drawn and you're ready for combat you can't spin the camera around you to see yourself from the front. Only when in passive / non-combat mode.

Hold down the F key + move mouse.

You can, actually. If your weapons are drawn, hold down F and move your mouse around.

There is a way that you can, i am not sure for pc users, but on the xbox if you hold in the right stick and rotate with ur left stick u can see do this~ So surely there must be a way for pc users.

Theres always the console command tfc

Edit: Luke beat me to it =p

hmm while drawn? that would be cool, will check later. damn onboard graphics work PC.... and work.

Yes you can. All you do is go into third person mode and then hold or tap "f".

Wahey~ thanks for the tip, its not documented in the manual.

Although it doesn't give you a nice close up like the normal one does.
Good tip.
