hi mate, may be a silly question, but how did you change the view to third person?
Taken from another forum, just about to try it out myself :-
Go to: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\documents\My Games\Borderlands\WillowGame\Config
WithinWillowInput.ini:
Search for [WillowGame.WillowPlayerInput]. Below the chunk of bindings, add the following:
Quote:Bindings=(Name="F3",Command="Camera ThirdPerson",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
Bindings=(Name="F4",Command="Camera FirstPerson",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
F3 goes into third person, F4 switches back to first person. As such, you can swap out the keys (F3 and F4) to the keys of your liking.
