<p>I love the graphics of this game but there is one feature that appears to be missing.  I spent time and effort getting my character's face just right and I bet the weapon I'm carrying looks really awesome and I'd certainly like to take a few screenshots of myself battling bad guys or posing next to that monster I killed... but all I can ever see is my back.  I can get a third person view of my character.  Unfortunately, when I rotate the viewpoint to see my face and weapon framed by the wonderful settings that the developers have rendered, my body turns with it.</p><p>Have I missed the way to achieve this or does a toggle key need to be created to allow it.  Yes, I know that I can see my face in the inventory panel but it's not the snapshot I'm after.</p>

Mousewheel out to third person view, left click and drag to rotate camera only.

There's also mirrors in the game.

If you want a close-up head shot you can also stand close to a wall or cliff and face it, then rotate around to your face.  It autozooms and can get much closer than actually zooming.
