3rd person view

Please someone make the 3rd person cursor line up with the center of character's head. It is annoying to aim where it is. I always miss the npcs attacking me and hit the one to the right.

    I didn't like the default view either, what I did to is zoom all the way out, then in the settings bought the 3rd person Pov all the way down.

    hold down on the d-pad and press right stick down to zoom out. this will get your cursor over your head

    this may work for you but for me all I saw was a gigantic cursor and it distracted me from my character or enemies and it wasn't very Immersive.

    so I took the pov down it all the way and it was much better for me, my character is shown nicely and I can aim at enemies with ease in both pvp and pve.

    Maybe because it was night when he made that post? Can't really expect him to have available screenies for any situation lol

    @Nermy I read the post and knew a pic would help with my post so I booted up the game and took two screens with the share button and didn't want to sit in the game and wait till day time to finish my post.

    @UltimaJoe777 hit the nail on the head.

    You mean the your secreenshots or the view on my game after applying the settings? if it is the first one, it looks good, I am guessing it is in the rift, the armor looks interesting what is it? also, is your character a vampire? if it is the second one I use my PS4 as my computer is not the best with games, skyrim is as far as I am willing to test it, I have to use the Ordenador. I started with the last minute update so as of now I have to wait...

    @RAGUNAnoOne sorry that last post was for the op, was wondering if he got that he was looking for with the setting change.
    I'm a vampire, I'm not sure what I'm wearing but I got the rare black dye, and I'm wearing a hood. but none of this is on topic.

    Its a solution with a cost though....Almost half your peripheral vision is gone. I would prefer they add the offset slider option that PC has.

    you can adjust the alinment of the cursor in the options menu under the camera tab.
    This option isn't available on console. We can only adjust FoV or head bobbing (whatever that is).

    I have both FoV (1st/3rd) set at maximum because I like seeing where I'm at in an area.

    If the sacrifice to move the cursor is loss of FoV, I'll stick with the cursor that seems meters away from my character.

    I don't do 3rd person because of this issue.

    You can fix the issue on console. I took the advice given and it is only off by by a hair now I love it.
