Skyrim Camera Inquiry

[Deleted2530535User]

I'm going to keep this post as on-topic as possible, so here goes. In Skyrim, the camera by default is over the shoulder when casually strolling along, or running away, etc.; but when you're in combat, your camera instead switches to a centered, zoomed out third person camera, or really at any time your weapons are unsheathed. Now, that's not necessarily bad in a camera, but it's the opposite of what I'm used to. My favorite game series of all time, Mass Effect, does this the opposite way. You are centered and zoomed out while casual, and zoom in close during combat scenarios. Now, I understand that Skyrim doesn't make as heavy use of projectile weaponry as Mass Effect, but I still prefer this camera type. I have as closely as possible imitated the camera's function in zoom and position that I am capable using Skyrim's ini files, but something occurred to me: you don't have the same powerful feeling when you're moving in Skyrim. By that, I mean that while sprinting there isn't much visible difference onscreen besides your animation and declining stamina. What I'm thinking of is a motion blur that blurs the edges of the screen but avoids blurring the character themself or the direct center of the screen. Is something like this possible, or is it simply out of the range of current modding ability? I am not requesting this, and that is why I've posted it in the modding discussion rather than in the request board, as I just want to know whether or not it can be done.

 

tl;dr - I want to add stronger motion blur to sprinting. Is it possible?

Well some ENB graphic mods include more pronounced motion blur, you could give one of those a try. Here's one I use.
