I'm just going to say it... This is the best game ever made! (With Mad God Overhaul)

[Underworld]

I'm in a constant state of shock how amazing this experience CAN be.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/107333?tab=files

You need a Beefy Comp, but with these 1400+ mods and a 30-40 mods extra!, its almost like TES 6!

My system
14900k OC 5Ghz
MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X 24GB
96GB Corsair Doms OC 6600Mhz
Corsair 4TB M2 Gen 5
Sound Blaster AE-9 coupled with My Yamaha A2A Receiver & 5.1 Ceiling speakers
BigScreen Beyond (BEST VR EVER Deep blacks and colors POP! not to mention form factor!) and Varjo Aero VR with 3 Base stations and Index controllers
bHaptics Tactsuit Vest with sleeves.

I can confirm this setup is ♥♥♥♥-your-pants level of fun!

I agree.

I recently bought a new computer and a vr headset to play ms flight sim 24.

Once I installed this modpack, I now have to force myself to go fly.haha

Def highlights for me so far has been....

Blackreach. Just reach through the gates and throw the switch on one of the great lifts.

Just being anywhere in the rift on a nice day

I got to visit both the settlements of aleswell and mountain watch in bruma. You can walk the entire area north of the imperial city, but it is obviously unfinished. Keep looking cause I found a few bandit camps and other cool things to find.

Travelling at night and seeing ghost ships on lake illianlta, and vampires driving carts around.

I no longer like bears, spiders sabercats, or trolls that dropkick you.

What I do miss is the anniversary content. I think fishing would have been nice to have

[Underworld]

What VR headset are you using Decker?

[deckerdave1973]

I am using a pimax crystal. My computer is almost as the good as the yours,

I am a vr newb and only have experience with msfs24 and skyrim vr, but it has been good for me so far.

[Underworld]

I tried the Pimax before I got my Bigscreen beyond, I can tell you its NOT even close in quality, you dont even know what you're missing. Colors are super bright, and blacks are PURE BLACK, I cannot tell you how important that is, also the form factor is underrated, I will NEVER use a toaster on my face again!

I've tried many VR headsets, ive been using them since 2013 starting with Oculus DK2, Bigscreen beyond by far the best! :)

HARD disagree. Far from the best game.

[Fistandantilus]

For me, its the best VR game.
And the most amazing gaming experience in the past 35 years of me gaming in general.

its a childhood dream come alive.

I play it since 2018.
1700 hours total.
1000 mods, Quest 3, RTX 4090 Gaming tower.

The only game I clock more hours in is World of Warcraft (12000 hours). But SkyrimVR is definately what I ever wanted since my childhood (wich was decades before Skyrim, but... well..)

[Underworld]

I agree Fist, people just don't realize what they are missing out on.

Bethesda could have made the vanilla experience the gold standard for open world VR games like Alyx is. Yet they made it somewhat usable (for PSVR contract?) and then moved on. I don't understand why.

Everyone who has a VR headset and a gaming PC has already bought it and everyone who is about to buy a VR headset will buy it. There's no competition. Yes, the install base isn't as big overall as other games, but the investment can't be that big to implement a few fixes. But at this point I guess it's too late, they will break all existing mods if they change something.

The vanilla experience is not the greatest, but it is made pretty decent with the must-have mods like additional interaction with the world. But this should have been the baseline. I guess they were limited by what PSVR can do and didn't spend too much time on future PC hardware. I'm pretty sure the Quest 3 hardware can even run the game by itself these days.

I'll play the mod list I have right now for a while and then maybe try Wabbajack like you when I get bored.

This has probably been discussed to death already, I'm just new to the conversation.

"It's the best game ever made, just download a four digit amount of mods!"
Let's be real here, calling it an overhaul is severely downplaying it.
It's an entire new game.

[nemonio]

I have more than 4000 saves. Yesterday I saw a hunter transform into a werewolf, wow.

[PeaceMaker]

I only need about 80 mods and then SkyrimVR is really good... The best? All depends. Mod up FO4VR and that is easily as good.

All depends whether you`re more into Post-apocalypse shooters or Sword and Sorcery type games- and how much you mod them.

There’s nothing to even discuss here. First of all, Skyrim is, in itself, the best game in the history of mankind when you consider the mods and the subculture it has created. On YouTube, Skyrim still gets tens of millions of views evry month after 12 years, and no other game even comes close to that level.

As for the VR version, it might not seem like the best only to those who don’t know how to install mods or who don’t have a powerful enough computer. Skyrim VR is not just a game — it’s the most progressive, truly next-gen experience.

Personally, I don’t know of any other game with integrated AI, a massive modding community, and a mod constructor that allows endless content expansion. And I say this as someone who has been gaming for 27 years.

once you fix bethesda's lack of effort skyrimVR is unequalled in VR. I HATED skyrim, i have 123hours in skyrim, enough to finish the main quest and the college then give up on it.

i'm over 2500hrs in skyrimVR.

I recently installed the Mad Gods Overhaul and I'm blown away. With DLSS4, I have an unprecedented sharpness in VR. I can only recommend the overhaul to everyone with a kinda decent pc, for me it's by far the best VR experience out there yet.

I decided to try this, and yea, it's pretty incredible what it does. But I had to do a LOT of configuring to stop my 3080 from crying!
