Third Person
I know that third person is currently not supported according to the FAQ, but I'm curious why the PSVR version has third person support, but the PC does not - and if it will be added in the future.

When did they add 3rd person support on PSVR? It was not there a couple of months ago.

I've never heard of PSVR Skyrim having third person support. That would be great if it did.

I really wish the PC version got it. I get motion sickness easily in first person and I'm not going to use the stupid teleportation.

Teleportation is there for people who do get sick. 3rd person is not going to help you. Infact it's likely to make you iller.

That's actually not the case at all.

I'm fine in VR 3rd person. No sickness at all. Though playing Skyrim VR for 30 minutes made me feel sick enough to not want to play again. Everything just felt wrong.

In my experience, everybody who says that people will feel worse for playing VR in 3rd person have never actually played onethemselves.

Please...go ahead and tell me what VR games you've played in 3rd person that where not a "built for VR" platformer!

Now I'm not saying 3rd person in VR is not doable. It is but only if the game is built that way (Edge of Nowhere for example) . Skyrim VR (which was the focus of this discussion) is not and given how the game works, it would be awful. A static camera suck behind your NPC would make you hurl chunks in no time.

The same problem is in racing / driving or flight sims. They work great from a 1st person cockpit perspective in VR but going into 3rd person floating behind whatever you are in control of can get very nauseating very fast.

VR in 3rd person is a contradiction.

What you're looking for is a simple 3d mode that can be created with simple 3d glasses (like nVidia's 3dvision). That has its own merits, but it's nothing like virtual reality.

At least they could put up a mirror or two.
