LE Skyrim: Arcade mode

It would be pretty cool if someone could change the perspective of the character to a top down perspective. It would make the game play more like a hack and slash, and might even make the game run better on lower end computers.

 

So instead of looking behind your character, like this,

you would look at your character at this angle.

A few things to note:

 

The default camera angle needs to be moved. For example, when you fast travel, the camera ends up right behind you.

 

The zoom level also needs to be adjusted to allow it to zoom much farther out.

 

The aggression of enemies and creatures needs to be adjusted(or else you will never see deer and everything attacks out of sight).

 

Also change the crosshairs to be movable or hide it.

 

Also, archery and spell casting would need new ways to target things.

 

Here's some screens at the angle and zoom level that I'm talking about.
