How do i change from 1st person to 3rd person?

[erlendbutt 1]

Hey, i don't know how to switch my view from 1st person to 3rd person, and back again. I know that it is possible to toggle in the pause menu, but when i switch to 3rd person in menu, i'm still in 1st person in game. Help?
I also would appreciate some tips about settings to make the game run smoothly, it lags a lot for me atm. :-)

Numpad enter to switch perspective.

Depends on what you mapped the control to.

If you're playing Hardcore, you will not be able to use the cheat perspective.

The other "Enter" works too. I mapped it to a thumb button on my mouse so I can switch back and forth faster without taking my hands off the keyboard or mouse.

Use the new voice command. Its still buggy, so you have to be loud. To change perspective, say, "Deeper Daddy" Might have to yell it a few times at first.

Why don't you use Google for that simple question?
