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?

What about fallout VR? which one is the better or are they both worth to get for VR? I haven't played those 2 but since they are ported from regular pc game, aren't they awkward to play in vr?

I just want both to play decent and it to be fun, is it? I play almost everyother VR game so im used to it a bit but this 2 have tons of content, while other gives 10 hours or MP game lik onward which gives a lot more.

I have original rift, so i wanna play the game with controllers does that support it? I don't want to play seated with kbm...

Both support Oculus controllers.

Fallout VR is fun, but a bit of a pain to run and doesn't include its DLC, while Skyrim runs much better (even heavily modded) and has everything; the modding scene is also on a different level.

At some point you may want to have both, but I'd strongly advise Skyrim first.

The gameplay translates very well in VR, just don't expect the level of interaction you'd find in Boneworks for example.

Also can you improve the visuals of this skyrim with mods, like the original flat game? So i looks way better?

Absolutely, it's breathtaking in VR.

Doesn't melee combat feel awkward? Like when you hit somebody they actually respond like a ragdoll? F.e like in gorn, blade and sorcery, asgards wrath,... I mean like this type of games.
Or you recommend only playing this game if you enjoy ranged combat like with magic or bow? So skyrim has all of its dlcs?

Also could u give some list of the mods you recommend or something, mostly looking for to update the graphics to a 2020 like game (if you revisit now skyrim it looks old )

It does feel awkward indeed, as it is a VR implementation while the other games were built from the ground up for VR; imagine skyrim being a fantasy fps combat wise, with few mods combat is much better but still not comparable to some other titles, while ranged and magic sort of blend in naturally let's say; having said that I do enjoy it, if you look at melee being one aspect of fighting is alright actually, it just lacks feedback when you hit.

Take a look at the famous reddit "Lightweight Lazy Mod List", has all instructions and links you need (even for performance), in general even vanilla Skyrim looks breathtaking in VR, after some modding it's simply one of the best looking games you can possibly have, just be mindful in leaving some headroom for Super Sampling, as having long distances things tend to get blurry (generally 1.2 with this list is great).

Here's the link:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RaLGgGMBzsIynYFoU-VoPaZc2u0cI0QnATfKnl6iyWM/edit

The modlist features some of EnaiSiaion gameplay mods, he is one of the most skilled Skyrim modders that has been around for a while now, the mods are very performance friendly and change the gameplay keeping it 'vanilla-like', basically improving it without changing the core concept.

Damn right it's worth it. Possibly the greatest game in VR imo as long as you add these:

Natural Locomotion (now on sale, usually costs 10€/USD): Simulates walking by swinging your controllers. Makes walking and exploring much more comfortable than always using the thumbsticks. I do return to the thumbsticks in combat thought however.

Dragonborn Speaks Naturally: Voice Recognition commands and you can read the dialogue lines out loud to select.

VRIK full player Avatar: Obvious. Equip weapons to your body. Finger tracking. Greatest of them all.

Be Seated: Great mod that enhances the possibilities of sitting in many places, but more prominently allows you to sit down in inns and call the servers over to order, and allows you to order a drink like a mug of ale that is then put into your hands and you can simular drinking it by raising it to your mouth...

Realistic Mining and Chopping in VR: Does what it says, hit with pick to mine...

With these I just spent 4 full hours continuously playing this game.

I would even go as far as saying that it's worth it at full price. All the more so for a measily 18 dollars.

Even if the base game is a rather bland pander-to-the-masses theme-park ride excuse of an RPG, it's a giant freaking sandbox with dragons and magic and a million mods.So worth it.

[Lofi Beats to Jerk off to]

its worth it if youre willing to sit down and put in the work to get all the mods working.

I managed to get some mods for melee (along with a much much better control-scheme so you can actually do power attacks) and I absolutly love to play sword and board now... It can be done and it's actually pretty awesome.

The best way to describe SkyrimVR with mods is, remember when you were a kid? you would go to the toy store, buy a new toy and you would play with it? Thats SkyrimVR, because its VR you can take out that new sword you can look at it, you can play with it just like you would with those plastic swords so long ago. Each mod is like opening a new toy you bought from Toys R Us (rip).

IDK there been up and down, that players cant play due to update and other issues. Might wanna wait another year or find something else. I had this for sometime since the last sale, decided to try it out yesterday morning, cant even play. Wow that is lame lol.

引用自 櫻繁星姫：

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

Sounds like someone needs to pick a new hobby.

Skyrim is much more than that and melee does work in VR

They seem to be talking about valve index controllers which can be ironed out easy enough and with addition of mods like VRIK, CBPC and 3BBB who cares if there's a few bugs here and there? There's bugs in Special Edition and we all play that.

Honestly I enjoy the new perspective that VR gives for itself and after hundreds of hours on modded Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, I kinda like just playing Skyrim almost vanilla in VR.

I played enough Skyrim as a foundation for mods that made the game closer to my ideal but if you haven't, mods open a ton of possibilities without being mandatory at all.

Aside from technical issues that have to do with the old engine and/or the Oculus/SteamVR overlapses, it's quite enjoyable unless you're fed up with VR.
