For example, when my character gets knocked down, it'll change from 1st to 3rd person. This really breaks immersion for me, and I want to know if its somethin a script or global game setting could fix. Thanks.

Don't think so. Since havok takes over at that point, there aren't any animations involved. If you were to force the camera to first person ( using toggleFirstPerson ) during that time, the camera would probably be in its normal position.

I don't feel immersed when every npc uses one of the same four voice actors they fished up from the mailroom without warning, so thirdperson hoodly is far from what I would put at #1 immersion buster but still...

look into DisablePlayerControls on the geck wiki. one of the flags forces first person as a side effect.

Actually, a lot of the voice actors are local theater actors or radio personalities in the DC area. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Diana_Sowle?

They still sound like they were fished from the mail room and handed a stack of papers with a "Just read them in order, here's a glass of water"

This thread got kind of off topic, anyone have any ideas as to how to tackle the problem I've posted?

Maybe http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11135 is what you're looking for?

As already suggested, I think http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/DisablePlayerControls is your best bet. Specifically:

DisablePlayerControls 0 0 0 1

...and then at some point:

EnablePlayerControls 0 0 0 1

...so POV switching works as usual again. I'm not sure if you'd have to wait until the whole knockdown sequence was complete to enable POV switching again - you might be able to have the EnablePlayerControls line immediately after DisablePlayerControls, which would be nice - unless you don't even want to allow the player to manually toggle POV during that time.


By the way shadeMe, toggleFirstPerson is an OBSE function - we don't have anything equivalent for FO3.
