(Inspired by Proper Torch Wield for Skyrim by skyrimaguas)

Description
Get that frikkin fire out of my face! Wait, I already did.
This mod alters how the player (and NPCs) hold torches so they are more realistic and natural.
Background
I like realistic 1st person mods (thank you Alenet for your recent efforts). Unfortunately, the way torches are held in that mode causes the torch to bob in and out of the center of the players vision (especially when running). Eventually, I stumbled upon Proper Torch Wield (for Skyrim) that changed how torches were held for realism purposes.
Basically, people don't hold fire in their faces for two reasons 1) OWWWWWWW 2) the fire blinds your distance view (i.e. bright light infront of face prevent seeing things dark in the distance). Seeing this mod, it occurred to me that the same could be done in Oblivion. Being slightly familiar with NIFSKOPE, I tracked down the appropiate model and started experimenting. It took 7 botched attempts to get it right but I think I got it now.
So basically, this works great for realists and for those using real 1st person mods.
