Is Skyrim playable in 3rd-person?

Question

Reading questions here and elsewhere about Skyrim makes it very tempting to buy. This would become a certainty if I know that I will be able to play it entirely in 3rd person. From the horse question I know that it's possible to at least view yourself in 3rd person on a horse, but that isn't quite enough to dispel my motion sickness concerns.

Is Skyrim playable entirely in 3rd person view under any circumstances or configuration?

Answer

Yes! A simple touch of a button can switch you between first and third person. On the PC, this button is 'F'. On consoles, click the right thumb stick. It's entirely plausible to play the entire game in this view if that is your preference.
