Watching this thread. Will download mod when I have a[n official] copy of the game (which will be soon! I promise!).

Wow thanks to you and justice7ca, I now have a perfect 3rd person camera angle for my two handed warrior. Combat is tons better, horse riding is now amazing and more immersive, and swimming n' looting are also much easier in 3rd person! Thanks a ton guys. I had made a request for a mod that involved auto switching from 1st to 3rd person upon combat.. no longer needed with these tweaks. 3rd person is better than ever now, I'm so glad to be a pc user Thanks again!

Thanks alot, I can now stop the camera zooming while weapons are drawn.

Have you any idea though, how to lock the FOV at 90?
Whenever I go to map, it resets...:/

You may want to click my source and read comments on it, just in case the situation applies to you.

Would it be possible to (eventually) make an optional plugin to zoom to first person when conversing with an NPC then back out to 3rd person after? I use 3rd almost exclusively but find 1st better when talking to people as i can see their faces better

fOverShoulderCombatAddY=0.0000 Was a big help. Thanks. Is there a way to make the camera just stay where it is (OTS) when you draw a weapon? That constant shifting back and forth is enough to make one sea-sick and looks terrible (to me at least).

Prateem thanks, but it didn't work. Map resets it (sometimes to FOV 55 or something, which is even worse)

Okay, thanks Prateem. It works now.

> add this to skyrim.ini (Some say to add it to the bottom of this section)

fDefaultWorldFOV=90
fDefault1stPersonFOV=90.0000

>Open game, load save, quit by menu.

>Open game. Should work now (open map, close map to see).

nevermind, for some reason the settings just got screwed when I changed my FOV and had to be reset again.

You have to make sure your X values are the same for both fOverShoulderCombatPosX and fOverShoulderPosX, it will stop the shifting. See the first post in this thread for the full camera settings, which solve this problem.

Has anyone here figured out the combat issues that are present with this mod from this thread http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1316568-over-the-shoulder-combat-bug/ ?

Excellent work. Really brings out the quality of 3rd person view. One question... Does it matter that the crosshair and melee weapons strikes dont match up when in combat? I use a katana and the blade tip doesnt even touch the enemy when the crosshairs dead centre. Any advice on this one? Cheers

I'm trying to figure out something similar. My issue is that with the following settings:

setini "fOverShoulderCombatAddY:camera" 0
setini "fOverShoulderCombatPosX:camera" 50
setini "fOverShoulderCombatPosZ:camera" -10
setini "fOverShoulderPosX:camera" 50
setini "fOverShoulderPosZ:camera" -10

Melee strikes and shield bashes appear to hit in a much larger cone than they otherwise would. I just can't seem to figure out why. I've tried out nearly every ini setting I could think of but nothing. Maybe someone with more familiarity with Fallout 3/New Vegas could be of help as Skyrim and Fallout 3/New Vegas seem to share some ini settings.

Let me try to paint a picture. While using the normal third person camera, shield bashes and weapon strikes will land in a ~30 degree cone in front of your character. With the settings I posted, that cone seems to increase rather drastically to the left. ~90+ degrees.

For example, spawn a Hagraven. Use the settings I posted and go directly up to a Hagraven. Proceed to turn 90 degrees to your left. You should still be able to shield bash and strike the Hagraven while hitting the air. Normally you would not be able to do this.

Yes, I know that you can hit enemies while hitting the air normally, but this is different. In normal scenarios this occurrence happens due to the hitboxes and weapon ranges being longer than what it visually displayed. o.o ... Just making a distinction before it is called into question. : )

Anyhow, all help is appreciated. It would be nice to play with these Over The Shoulder Camera settings without feeling like I am cheating. I say this because it's nearly impossible to miss shield bashes or weapon strikes with an extra ~90+ degree margin of error.

Okay, anyone know what the default offsets are? I like the default camera position.

Edit: Okay, saw the defaults in the SoS docs. Thanks for the link.

I haven't tried the mod, but it would be great (unless this mod already does this?) if http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1268713-animcam-command-panrotate-cam-while-walk/ Not sure if that fits what you're wanting with this mod, but I personally would love that feature.
