[Mein] Field Of View

<purpose>
- STEP Guide Recommends "Skyrim's default FOV setting of 65 for 16:10 aspect ratio monitors. 70.59 for 16:9 aspect ratio monitors. 55.93 for 4:3 aspect ratio monitors."
- Ideally, One must know the difference between WorldFOV and 1stPersonFOV, What you would want to change is the WorldFOV (How wide the world view is), not the 1stPersonFOV (How far your arms are in the view); Unfortunately, when you change the FOV in-game using the command "FOV XX", It changes the value globally, and that's not what we want, we want to choose the values separately and apply them accordingly. First, We'll See How to choose the values that suit you best and then how to apply them :

[<>Choosing the Values<>]
There is no command in-game to change WorldFOV or 1stPersonFOV separately, so you have to deal with `FOV ~~` which will set both at once, then you can separate each setting in the .ini file!
º WorldFOV : The Higher (Wider) the better, as it will allow you to see more of the world, but we don't want to increase so high that the view will get warped (like this: http://i.imgur.com/GQoWvCq.png - Notice the how warped the cave lamp is). To do this, Set the FOV to a high value (fov 120), then start lowering the value until objects don't change forms at the edge of the screen, Here's an example of the form-change: Note the width of the door between this picture http://i.imgur.com/XqNMBw6.png , and this picture http://i.imgur.com/2RVnoQH.png , It quadruples on the edges, that's a clear sign of a hideous warp-effect, we need to prevent this effect, So you will need to keep lowering the FOV until you can no longer distinguish the difference between the two images (e.g http://i.imgur.com/iRpd2Ye.png and http://i.imgur.com/vnYvvl8.png - A 40px difference due to slanted line and other).

For me I settled with 100 FOV, yeah, it's a bit noticeably hideous but when you know that a 100 FOV in 4:3 is about 78 FOV in 16:9, you realize the sacrifice I'm willing to make, here's how it looks for me now ( http://i.imgur.com/AFeiYAc.png and http://i.imgur.com/IuISSpx.png ), Which means the people at the edges of the screen are about twice fatter than in center :D

To Start finding your own WorldFOV value, Download 'Quick Start - Skip The Opening Scene' mod OR load any save file and find your own "door" ;), do the same tests I did with the door on your object, note the chosen value somewhere.

º 1stPersonFOV : The Higher (the further) the Better, but if we make this the same as the WorldFOV, you're going to start seeing this http://i.imgur.com/6dSUaZF.jpg , So what you should do is draw a BattleAxe and look down, at a high FOV, you will see your arms (NOTE if you don't have a BattleAxe , type 'help BattleAxe' and then 'player.additem %BattleAxeID% 1'), so keep lowering the FOV until you no longer see your distorted arms, like this: http://i.imgur.com/iWMkme5.png . Note the chosen FOV. (NOTE: Don't pay attention about weapon getting in the view, you can use a mod called 'Lower 1st Person Weapons' to lower the weapons, Don't lower them beyond 25% or the bow shooting will become hideous)

For me, I had to make some sacrifices in this as well because when the arms stops looking distorted, the weapons are pretty much no longer in view and are pushed to the sides http://i.imgur.com/OrwK30c.png , I don't want this, I like to be able to at least see some of the weapon I'm holding, so I left a little bit of the distorted arms.

- Sadly, you can't apply the changes mid-game as there is no console command to change the WorldFOV and the 1stPersonFOV separately. For this reason, you can only set the values before at the start a new game. Here's how to do it :
Create dummy mod in Mod Organizer, call it '[Mein] Field Of View' and add the following as INI Tweaks!
[Display]
fDefault1stPersonFOV=%Chosen1stPersonFOV%
fDefaultFOV=%Chosen1stPersonFOV%
fDefaultWorldFOV=%ChosenWorldFOV%
