To switch back to First Person View, hit the ‘End’ key on your keyboard. Once you are in the game, hit the ‘Page Down’ key on your keyboard and you will now be in Third Person View.

After plenty of searching and looking about the internet, I stopped hacking the configuration files and realised something, Borderlands already has the ability to be played in third person! It’s just ‘turned off’ rather than disabled. I desperately wanted to play the game multi player and cooperative, so I set about looking for a way to get third person view working. My girlfriend however, prefers to play games in third person.

I recently purchased Borderlands through Valve’s Steam Store and was quickly confronted with a problem based on the reason I purchased the game in the first place.
