Head Position Bug

[MysticPrysm]

I've always been a 3rd person type gamer. When i saw Starfields 3rd person mode when be improved from past BGS games i was quite excited. And honestly its really good. animations are top notch, and really is a vast improvement from skyrim and fallout 4. just one little thing is bothering me. idk if its a bug or some gameplay mechanic that i haven't figured out yet, but in the fully zoomed out view, after boost packing for a bit, my characters head just gets glued looking off to his far left. after rotating the camera left it fixes itself but it is a little annoying. not game breaking of course. just wondering if anyone else is experiencing something similar.

Same lol, funny that the reviewers didn't have this problem.

Same problem here. Obviously it's not game breaking, but constantly looking left is slightly annoying. I found a quick zoom back in to first person and back to third person fixes it. But only temporarily.

I also play practically 80% in 3rd person and I have detected this problem. I have managed to discover that the problem is not that the character's head stays stuck looking to the left, but that it stays stuck with the last npc you talk to (your character looks at them during the conversation but when you walk away the character continues looking at him even if he stays behind). It's definitely a bug that is probably easy to fix by having the character release the last targeted npc. I hope Bethesda patches it soon because I also find it annoying.
P.S: sorry for my English.

How do I get 3rd person? Trying to use an Xbox controller. Toggle pov is grayed out? It shows 2 little widows like on the controller. I press this and nothing happens. I also tried unplugging the controller and tried it with keyboard and mouse. Mouse 3 doesn't seem to do anything either!!!! Any suggestions?

same issue, after about 37 hours it starting to get to me lol i keep yelling at my character to stop checking npc's out. like McFly mentioned above, a quick change to first person then back fixes it until i use the jetpack again

Its a bug. the "return to center" code is busted for the animation. It happens all the time in cities, where the character is stuck looking leftward.

There is a fix on Nexus, but no one is going to use it right?

[Cybertrigger]

from what i read its a bug that just happens on male characters, for female characters that problem isnt existing.
as it was mentioned before there is a mod that fixes it but for anyone wanting to use it also install an archivement enabler if its something you care about.

Yep I can confirm this as well. A quick fix is just click in front of you got me it’s A on my Xbox controller that I use and it will fix it
