Enabling head based movement

[cybernetic fugue amnesiac]

I hate hand based movement with a burning passion, trying to strafe and fight while holding a shield or spell sucks fat ♥♥♥♥ and i know you CAN enable head-based movement, but i don't know what setting i need to modify to get it. Can i get any help?

What is head based movement?

He's talking about having your character always move in the direction that you're looking with your headset instead of where you're pointing your controller

Wow this is the first time I hear someone liking head based movement. I hate it in most games.

It depends a lot on the game. I like head-based with strafing for instance in SubNautica. That game is VR Candy for me. On the other hand, it sucks donkeyballs in this one shooter I tried whose name I forget, because I just needed that much more freedom of movement. I think a lot of it has to do with how much non-foward movement you tend to actually NEED to play the game.

Would love to know the opposite for Bethesda's DOOM VFR... its head based movement, I need it to be hand based...

To each his own, but why in the actual fork would anyone want to constantly move in the direction you are looking? That is not how real life movement works and is incredibly unnatural. Human beings tend to look around while moving forward. Being forced to move in whatever direction I am looking would probably make me vomit.
