First person mod I'm hoping for

[Carimya]

Hello guys. We'll have to wait until we can get the more complicaded mods and I guess we'll have to wait even longer for the mod I'll be describing here, but hey, I hope some modder reads this and thinks: "Hey! This is a great idea, I want to make this mod" Or even "That's exactly what I did for [put any previous Bethesda Game here]! I already planned doing this again for FO4!"

 

Sooo... My problem with Fallout 4's First Person is: No lower body visible... Seriously Bethesda? Still? Well okay... That's just looks... But it affects the gameplay.

 

Did you know, that when you're playing in third person, that you can get nice animations that give you an advantage in combat? I don't know how it's triggered exactly, but it's when you're performing a hard melee attack (also works for beating the enemy with your gun). You character will grab them and push them back, make them stagger or even make them fall.

This isn't possible in first person AT ALL!!! I mean... What the hell, Bethesda? FO4 is primarily designed as a first person game and you cut features away from first person? Features that affect gameplay???

 

So... now that this is from my chest, here comes the actual topic (suggestion):

 

When playing Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim, I used first person mods. In Skyrim it was the "Immersive First Person mod". It was some kind of fake First Person, triggered by a hotkey in Third Person mode. It put the camera on your nose and you had allllll the good 3rd Person animations in this new very immersive First Person view. And you could do ANYTHING in this view. Crafting, Ragdoll, EVERYTHING. This won't be much useable in Fallout 4, because the aim for ranged weapons sucked.

 

But there is the first person mod for Fallout NV (and probably Fallout 3 too) . I don't know it's exact title but here is what it did:

 

Instead of adding a fake first person to the third person fiew, it just added your body to first person and gave it all the 3rd person animations. When you had no weapons in your hands, even your arms were attached to this first person body. As soon as you draw your weapon, they disappear and your usual 1st Person arms, with all the normal (or modded) first person animations were there, while still being able to see the rest of your body in first person when looking down.

 

Now, when you sat down or went into ragdoll mode, it was more similar to the immersive first person mod in skyrim. You would be put in the same fake 1st person view, with the camera attached to your characters 3rd person face.

 

I know this is explained weirdly, but I can't find a better way to say it.

 

A first person mod like the one for Fallout NV I just descrived would be SO AMAZING. It could add the possibility to get those fine 3rd person exclusive kicking and catching animations working for first person and bring much, much more immersion to this game. Also all the 3rd Person exclusive Killmoves. (really bethesda... Is it so hard to make a simple double stab with the bayonet animation for first person, too? Well I guess you wanted to, but you announced the game a little early. Just like you did with Skyrim. But hey... We're glad we can already play it.)

 

 

Sooo... Do you guys like this idea?

This might be better suited for the mod request forum.

This is a good idea! Not to mention we would hold our gun down when appropriate as well in first person view so we wouldn't need a separate mod for this. I didn't actually know about those third person combat attacks though. The animation in Fallout 4 are so much better than in previous titles, so I really would've though Bethesda would of wanted to show them off more. I second this post!

This is not actually a request, just an idea. It's too early to request this, first we need GECK.

Yes, that's exactly why I thought.
