Fallout New Vegas Already Broken?

So I bought New Vegas on steam last night, Downloaded it and installed it. Made a character and wasn't happy with him so I restarted now whenever I make a new character the screen is all zoomed in, in first person, and I can't run or sit down on Doc Mitchell's Couch to continue the character creation. Am I gonna have to un install this crap then reinstall it to fix this RETARDED bug that only I could have the privilege of discovering, or is there a magical fix to make the retardedness go away.

Well first off make sure you are not actually in first person mode, Fallout NV is designed to be played viewed either in first person or third person. Press the F key on your keyboard to toggle between first and third person view.

If that doesn't help the next step is to verify the files have downloaded correctly. To do this go to steam and RIGHT click on Fallout NV, from the drop down menu, select "properties". A box comes up in that box click the "local files" tab and on that screen click "verify integrity of game cache". This will make steam scan the downloaded files and check that the files have been downloaded correctly. After the scan has finished it will automatically redownload any corrupt files.

For the record I haven't seen anyone complaining about this issue you are having so it could be a difficult issue to solve.
