By default, Skyrim's vertical mouse sensitivity was lower than it's horizontal sensitivity. If I remember correctly one of the patches tweaked the way the setting that controlled this worked and left a few people who had previously tweaked the mouse scaling with problems. This was, however, some months ago...
Anyway, the setting for vertical mouse scaling is in My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Skyrim.ini
(not the version in the game's install directory!), you want to look in the [controls]
section, find the fMouseHeadingYScale
key and probably just remove it (and you should probably get rid of fMouseHeadingXScale
while you're there). This will reset them to defaults.
Oh, and feel free to back the file up before making modifications.
If these keys are already not in the file, then I'm afraid you must have a different problem.
I figured out a fix that will always work. As soon as you load a saved game, and every time you load any saved game, what you want to do is press the '~' (tilde) key to access the console.
Type in: player.tc
The command forces you to lose control of your character. Don't hesitate - it's not gone forever.
After you type and apply the command:
Note: you must do the steps exactly every time you load a saved game of some sort.
P.S. Type it twice at the start of every saved game and you won't encounter the same problem until you reload another saved game. But then you just do the steps again. No big deal!
