LE Teleport Animation Mod for Fast Travel?

[Codybean1]

I haven't found something that does this yet. When you use the fast travel option, your character would have an animation where it looks like they are teleporting away from where they were. I figure it would make for more immersive fast travel.

wow, this is a great idea!

 

... and that's all I can contribute

You mean like the teleportation spell? Uh...how's that supposed to be immersive?

You would need to have the effect play as you arrive at the destination since the game goes straight to the load screen, but it should be possible (even easy with SKSE functions).

 

But how is this immersive? Fast travel has nothing to do with magic. It's just the old-fashioned "three days later" story telling technique. When you choose a destination on the map the game moves your character to the new location and fast-forwards the game time to reflect that your character took a slow, safe path to the destination. In fact it takes four times as long to get to the destination as it would normally take to walk there. The only thing fast about "fast travel" is that you, the human playing the game, don't have to watch the character walk slowly from city to city avoiding encounters along the way.

 

This does make me think it might be nice to have a message after fast travel telling just how much time has passed.

Actually there was teleport spells in morrowind. They simply changed that to fast travel in Skyrim.
