Make sure you have the radio button ON on "Enable Free Camera." It's hiding under the "Gameplay" tab of your OPTIONS. You should have been here before the "Patch 2" lol. You never got to see your character's face before that.

I'd like to close by quoting Bellegar's famous last rhyme:

"Cursed be the mother that bred thee!
The wench must have been a hell-spawned banshee!"
