SSE Target Lock Without Camera Lock

[LyriumStash]

Hi fellow modders,

 

If i'm not mistaken all target lock systems available on Skyrim lock the camera in the center (more or less) of the screen.

 

 

I wish we could have a Witcher 3-like target lock system where you can still look around with the camera while having a target locked.

 

Which would mean that you could look for an exit while attacking a target, or keeping an eye on an important target as you need to dodge his incoming attacks while you dps someone else.

Witcher 3 goes even further if you can remember: it auto locks enemies in sight, which means Geralt always aims his attacks towards someone, even if you look the opposite direction, and even out of range, and it switches automatically between targets as they come close to the center of the screen and are close enough to Geralt. So you can as well focus on a particular enemy without having to 'TAB target' anything. If memory serves, Geralt's movements are locked to targets (even if the camera isn't) when he's not sprinting. When you sprint you break the lock so you can, for example, reposition yourself quickly.

 

AC Odyssey or Immortals Fenyx Rising have a similar system and so have probably many, many more.

 

My apologies if there's a mod already covering that (and if it's the case i would be grateful to be directed to it :wink: ), and/or if the idea has already been suggested ! Or maybe it's simply a technical limitation that could explain the lack of this feature in Skyrim mods so far.
