Way to not zoom when in dialog?

[Ruisch!]

Howdy yall, I got this game after I played skyrim, it's good, but is there anyway or a mod to disable the zoom in when initiating a dialog?

IIRC, there's an ini setting that controls the zoom level during dialogues. It's been a awhile though, and it never bothered me enough to look into it anyway, so I could be mistaken about that. I just seem to recall reading about it at some point.

You can increase the fdlgFocus (or something like that ...) value in your oblivion.ini file. The zoom will decrease.

I use
fDlgFocus=4.5000

I'll try that out, fairly new to oblivion do I put it in the script file like in Skyrim? :)

The setting is in your ini file, which can be found in Documents/My Games/Oblivion.

fDlgFocus does reduce the zoom, but it can't be eliminated entirely using that cvar

the only thing i know of that does away with the zoom entirely is oblivion reloaded's camera-mode, but that has it's own share of potential drawbacks, most commonly the nauseating headbob

Oblivion Reloaded is the only surefire way.

I set the Focus to 5.1 and it's just a slight zoom, just enough to let you know you're in dialog. I always hated that it zoomed right into their face.

It even works for the intro cell scene.

Never occured to me that the game had an internal setting for it. I take it back, this is even better.
