Yes you will be able to play in third person view as the added it because they noticed most people played fallout 3 in 3rd person view and some of the play testers for this game too it one of the major improvements made in this era of games :)



As for playing the previous games you don't really need too only if you want to follow the storyline because it may mention past references or instances. Other than that i am sure the game will guide you in the beginning and explain things like it did in the previous games :)



enjoy skyrim i will warn you tho you we be addicted i started in the days of the morrow wind game and haven't stopped :)



the elders scrolls series is awesome and i suggest you try the previous game too :)Hi im buying skyrim iv never played any of there past games im a decent gamer not hardcore?
EDIT: I defer to JACKNIFE who is correct about third person view, in which case it will an excellent game for you. ~Thanks for that JACKNIFE ~

It will be first person. It's a stand alone game, so you don't need to play the previous games. I played Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, it was the first RPG I'd played but I have played a lot of fps. On the strength of Oblivion I will get Skyrim.

If you are really not a fan of first person view then I wouldn't recommend it but if you think you could get used to first person view then give it a try, but if you really can't abide that viewpoint then give it a miss [or wait till the price comes way down].
