I don't think you can - I always walk backwards when I rotate the camera while moving (PS3). Hopefully there's a way and someone knows.

If you are on pc, use your mouse to rotate the camera and look around. Your character should always be facing front though. Do you hit W to walk?

Walk backwards? Maybe I don't quite understand the question LOL OH I see, yea, you only see the back of your character when you walk or in fight mode, in 3rd person.

On PC, switch to third person [F] and hold it down and pan around with the mouse. If you want to do it while you are moving use the auto run button.

Well it worked for me. Also I think you only have to old the button down if you have a weapon drawn.

Are you wanting to see your guy run, or are you wanting screenshots? If all you need is a still screenshot then open the console while they are running, type 'tfc 1' and 'tm' and exit console. You can move the camera any way you want and shot from any angle.

I've only been able to see my charecters frontside when her weapons are sheathed and I'm zooming around using r3 (PS3). When the weapons are unsheathed if you try to spin around to see your charecter they'll simply shuffle along with the camera. I'm wondering if this is because it would be alot of extra work to have to add in the frontside graphics of charecter with weapons out?

Yea, you have to sheath your weapons, then you can rotate the camera.

You can get a pretty good look at Narri (bar wench in Falkreath) when she's sweeping. :lol:
