Is there a Starfield third-person camera?

Can you play the game like Skyrim?

With a Starfield third-person camera, the game would become more accessible for those who can’t handle a first-person angle…just ask my father! Moving the camera with the right stick so regularly can turn potential players off. Here’s everything we know about a Starfield third-person camera.

Does Starfield have a third-person option?

Like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, there will be a Starfield third-person angle.

You’ll be able to switch between first and third person in a snap. It will likely be the right stick if it follows the same control scheme as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or the touchpad button on a PlayStation controller if it’s similar to Fallout 4. Either way, this will make fans happy and make Starfield appeal more to the masses who aren’t familiar with first-person shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield. 

What other features does the game support?

While Starfield won’t have any multiplayer, at least at launch, the game does offer a bunch of extra modes and features to players. First, there will be a New Game Plus mode. Your skill traits and backstory perks “gives you the flexibility and options to carve out a unique identity, and even adds a unique and exciting twist on New Game+ to incentivize continued and repeat play” said Starfield director Todd Howard during an interview with GQ Magazine.

Additionally, this outer space RPG will support mods. Creators will likely create their own stories with the tools available. They could also put in an inevitable Randy Savage mod that turns a space creature into the famous wrestler like a mod did with dragons in Skyrim.
