Camera Height, can this be adjusted?

[DIM67]

Hi all,

 

is it possible to adjust the camera height? I noticed that when talking to NPC's, I am always looking UP at them. Then when I looked at my character in 3D, and zoomed in close, I noticed the camera is at chest-level, not eye-level. I have been looking all over creation and cant find anything about this in mods or forums and it bugs the crap out of me.

 

Thanks!

Camera height while in first person is determined by the height of the race you are. If they are looking down on you, you are likely a shorter race. Playing with the scale settings outside those related specifically to race (setscale) can screw this up a bit. They will look at your face when in fist person, and not adjust to your new scale until you're in 3rd person. The height of the 3rd person camera is also determined by race, but is set to be lower since most people want to look at their character with the focus being the chest and torso (where everything looks right), not the head, where everything below would probably look wierd. The third person camera also slightly adjusts according to scale changes. It will alwas be focuse on the chest, but will be less so if you use some scale higher than 1.8.

Hey thanks for the reply. Being a Wood Elf, I guess that makes sense, looking at some dumb Orc, hehe.
