Skyrim VR on sale, is it worth it?

[Dimitris97_GR]

I have heard some bad information about it not being a normal vr game and etc. But does it worth it in 18.00$ euros?

The only difference is that you're playing skyrim like you already did on console or pc, but you can see everything in 3d that's it.

You can't pick up stuff and melee doesn't work, and if you have any vr headset that isin't the original vive or oculus you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cause the controls are janky for the new controllers

[Lecuistot]

yes go for it + mods its fantastic

[Lecuistot]

i play with old vive controllers and i prefer the trackpad myself for this kind of game

[Beans]

Definitely buy it.

[Bandito]

It is, you have no idea how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HUGE all the ruins are. Get the telekinis and strenght of gods mod to feel like a total GOD

Here's the thing
You need a LOT OF MODS AND TWEAKING to get this VR port to acceptable quality.
They exist, and it is possible to make this a good port, They just take a lot of your time and research to set up.

The base game is alright. The lore is amazing, but non-magical combat is a bit messy. If you know a bit about mods you'll love it. If you don't know much about modding a game I'd say just look up a tutorial for SKSEVR and SkyUi.
I bought it for 60euro when it was released. I have no regrets.

I played skyrim on console and just got the VR version for PC. The renders are pretty low to make it better for VR, besides that it's just about the same game. I enjoy the archery in this game as you can shot pretty fast once you get the hang of it.

Modding isn't hard. Just go to Nexusmods.com and download Vortex and go nuts.

You can make the textures look allot better. I recommend downloading the following mods: VRIK, apocalypse and ordinator.

First one will give you a actual VR body with the ability to sheet weapons and hotkey spells.
Apocalypse will give you allot more spells to play with and ordinator is a perk tree overhaul.

For texture mods you I would recommend Cathedral Landscapes, Noble Skyrim and Majestic Mountains - Cathedral concept.

Better UI get SkyUI - be sure to download SKSE64 to make it work.

If you like Skyrim you will like this one

One of the best games you will ever play in VR, despite it's minimal port. It's a thing of beauty and astonishing scale along with 400+ hours of game play!

Take a look at this famous Mod List (links and instructions included), it's a fantastic enhancement of Vanilla without changing the core concept of the game: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RaLGgGMBzsIynYFoU-VoPaZc2u0cI0QnATfKnl6iyWM/edit

As for OP, I'd say absolutely! Modded Skyrim in VR is one of the best experiences you can get. Personally I spent more time modding and testing Skyrim SE few years back, always leaving a playthrough after few hours, in VR is totally a different story, the level of immersion is unbelievable.

I dont think vortex even works anymore does it? I started using MO2

[Crim]

without mods skyrim vr is absolutely terrible, with them skyrim vr is far better than regular modded skyrim game but still not as good as games like alyx and asgard wrath. My opinion if you beaten all the decent vr titles then this is perfect to occupy your free time till something good comes out

p.s stay away from melee combat

One of the reasons I got my Oculus Rift S because I hoped to play Fallout and Skyrim in VR. What I did not know at the time, other than no Fallout VR, was Skyrim VR was not going to be a DLC of the Skyrim game I already have and sold as a separate game at full price and that put me off playing.

Now it's 70% off I too have been considering getting it now. But I've heard how bare-boned it was to a fault. There are those who say the game is great with mods but unless the mods I need come in a convenient single-download package I wouldn't know what to do.
