What FoV is everyone using?
Im on a 16:9, 27 inch screen. Typically i set most of my games to the standard for that, which is an FoV of about 90.

For some reason though with skyrim, 90 still doesnt feel exactly right. It doesnt feel similar to other games that I set to 90, almost as if they customized it to be slightly different somehow... Maybe it has to do with the size of my hands/weapons despite setting the world view around me to that FoV...

85 is about ideal for Skyrim, at 90 or higher it starts to get the fish eye effect.
I use
fDefaultWorldFOV=85
fDefault1stPersonFOV=75.0000
In my ini so i get the default view model fov of 75 while the world is at 85.

Does that make your weapon view models smaller or bigger?

90 in Special Edition isn't 90 in the normal edition, you're totally right.

So the question is then, what does FoV have to be in SE to be equal to the 90 in the original version?

I am using 75 but I think 85 will do too, but 90 gives fisheye.

The default.

Any higher and I start to get motion sick.
