Oblivion FPV Reanimated BETA3



By Nopheros

A mod that tries to give extra touches to TES IV: Oblivion in first person view (fpv).

There are other mods that simulate head bobbing animations through scripting with OBGE/OBSE or conversion from third person view and etc. This mod uses the original fpv and add some animations for the head bobbing. Using such technique not only make it easier to simulate head bobbing up and down but also left and right simulating walking and running using both legs instead of using pogo stick :)

All the animations also tied to sounds as accurate as possible so that you'll hear foot steps when you head bobbing left and right to increase immersions. The are also some extra 'features' as in the shield is still up while walking even if you release the block key (see video). This reminds me of the movie 300/Gladiator in some way, with sword instead of spear :) This is intentionally released with this mod since I think this looks pretty cool and gives some sort of extra immersions, to me at least (maybe just because I let my imaginations take the best of me). If you want to revert back, just stop walking/running. Take notes that even when the shield is up in this state, you will NOT block anything. There are also some other neat 'trick' (or just plain 'bugs' if you will) that you can manipulate. These bugs may be remove later if they causes too much problems.

Please keep in mind that this mod is still in progress thus the BETA. The staff fpv animations are still being worked on. I will release these version when it's done.

This mod is also not for everyone espeacially if you are easily susceptible to vertigo/dizziness.
