Hello Devs,

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this so please move to appropriate area if needed.

I'd like to suggest adding a 180º LOOK BACK option while running and riding mounts.

In real life, if you are running or riding a horse, you can turn your head back almost 180º and more than 180º if you help your turn turning your body too.

Currently, in the game, when you are running FULL SPEED straight forward (let's say escaping) because you are being attacked/followed by mobs, MOST IMPORTANT attacked and followed by enemy players in PvP areas (ie: open Cyrodiil when you are outnumbered) you don't have a QUICK/EASY way to look back to know if they are still following you unless you KIND OF STOP and turn, RUN SIDE WAYS, check and resume forward, or SLOW DOWN to try to turn, check and resume FULL SPEED again.

So, I personally think it would be helpfull if you can add direct 180º-left look back and 180º-right look back options while running and riding mounts. I think this is an important natural characteristic every human (add elfs, orcs, khajiits, etc.,) has.

Thanks in advance!

    Yes, but it's not THE direct/quick way I'm requesting. Thanks. :)

    It does not.

    I like this idea very much.

    Limited number of controller options still allows to have a context sensitive commant.

    the two analogue sticks on console make it very easy to do you turn one clockwise and the other anti clockwise and you can keep on keeping on whilst looking back.

    for PC an option to insta look back seems to be what OP wants not just do it whilst moving. Wouldn't work on console two few buttons as it is.

    I still wish the map and the change weapon key binds on PS4 could be switched. id rather stop holding the look (right) joystick than the move (left) joystick to weapon swap in combat, as well as minimizing the risk of accidentally chugging a potion.

    admittedly. id probably be more annoyed if i opened my map in combat rather than swapped weapons so i can kind of see why it is how it is, could still optimize it i think by doing the above with a 0.6 second hold button timer on the opening of the map if you did swap the key binds.

    I've found the mouselook pretty useful. If you use it and then let go your view snaps back to looking forward. It can be quite quick.

    Now... first person mouselook is a horrendous mess. Do you play in first or third?

    I play third. Still, I'd like a insta look as willymchilybily mentiones above.

    After your post, I understand it'd be even more helpful for first person view. :)
