The initial footage for Avowed showcased the game's first-person perspective, but we later learned that the entire game would be playable from third-person as well. This trick would give you a much better look at your custom character, the world, and all your flashy abilities. First-person games can also be a bit disorienting for some players and a third-person angle is more comfortable. There are a few ways you can swap to a more zoomed-out perspective in Avowed so let's quickly go over them all so you can get back to the adventure.
How to switch to third-person
Avowed allows you to switch to third-person on the fly, meaning you aren't stuck playing in either perspective for the entire game from the start. The game will default you to first-person, but you can change as soon as you start playing.
Step 1: When booting up the game or in the pause menu and looking through the settings, you can find a third-person toggle in the Accessibility section.
Step 2: You can also quickly switch to third-person without going into settings by holding R3 on your controller to instantly change perspective.
There are pros and cons to each perspective, but the ability to swap between them freely means you can explore the world in third-person and quickly swap to first-person when in combat if you desire.
