First Person Conversation Camera

Description

First Person Conversation Camera (FPCC) is an SKSE/CommonLibSSE-NG plugin that presents Skyrim dialogue through a fixed-distance first-person shot/reverse-shot camera.

While an NPC is speaking, the camera frames them at a consistent portrait distance regardless of where the conversation started. When the dialogue choices appear, the camera can cut to the player character. This reverse shot can also be disabled, allowing the camera to remain on the NPC throughout the entire conversation.

FPCC provides separate camera settings for humans and dragons, configurable gaze behavior, furniture-safe head tracking, subtitle support and safeguards for Console and TFC use. All camera, FOV, actor-facing, gaze and model-visibility changes are restored when dialogue ends.

The mod does not add an ESP, Papyrus scripts or save-game records.
