UESP Forums

Firstly, hello i'm new to the forums and I absolutely love the Elder Scrolls games. On topic, I prefer playing Elder Scrolls games and the Fallout games in 3rd person view the majority of the time however in Skyrim i feel the character is to close to the camera and takes up half the screen, I can't remeber in Oblivion but in Fallout you were able to hold a button down and adjust the distance of the camera and zoom in and out to preference however I cannot seem to do this in Skyrim and I was wondering if anyone knew if this was possible in Skyrim and if so how to do it, i'm on the Xbox 360. Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome! And yes there is a way. You have to hold the right stick in while in 3rd person view and pull back with the left stick.
