Can Morrowind be played in 3rd person?? I am now playing with 1st person, but I'd like to play it like in Gothic!

Also, if you hold down Tab then you can use your mouse to move around your character and the wheel to zoom in/out. Reverts back to 'behind the head' when you let go, though.

I find it very difficult to play 3rd person becaue you can't tell where the crosshairs are in relation to the world. I certainly would not like to try to read a book in a store because you might pick up something instead and get caught for stealing. Also very hard to aim missile weapons.

I dont know of you but Third person IN MORROWIND only is annoying it depressed me when I look to that thin character without a single muscle. Gothic Was Better. But I Like morrowind I'm starting playing it now.

I liked playing in 3rd person in Morrowind. In later levels you get some cool looking armor and weapons, it's pretty nice to look at your avatar in action

But I agree about the crosshairs. I usually switched from 3rd to first person whenever using missile weapons, and trying to get items on the ground or on shelves.

But i liked to press and hold tab while running and just watch my character moving in beautiful new armor or with nice new weapon :].

I like first person also.
Have you noticed that if you sell your "beautiful new armor" to some vendors, they will put it on themselves and will keep wearing it.
