The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR

[h3]Introduction[/h3] I had originally thought this review was gonna be a negative one, mostly because of the crazy price tag this VR experience has. I mean, they are asking 60 bucks for a VR upgrade of a 14 year old game that most of us have already bought multiple times. Just the thought of that made me have a sour taste in the mouth before having even launched the game, and I am someone who considers Skyrim to be one of the best games ever made. But I bought it on sale for 15 bucks, which is a good deal since VR games are usually priced a bit higher than nonVR titles. It is a hobby for the privileged and the “elite” apparently. But I gotta say, after having been playing through parts of the game now in VR, I have to admit that this is a pretty damn good VR experience and probably the best I have had since I got my own headset, at least for the technology we have now. [h3]Bias[/h3] First of all, I have been playing Skyrim since it had its first release in 2011 and I have 100%ed...

Without mods, a sorry excuse of a VR port. With mods, one of the best VR experiences you can have. To get a good modlist, you'll need Wabbajack and a Nexus Premium account (unless you want to manually click 'download' on hundreds of mods), but it's definitely worth it. FUS is a good Vanilla+ modlist (70 GB), while Mad Gods Overhaul is a good ultramodded list (260 GB)

just add mad god's overhaul and this easily wins as one of the very best games of all time. you can literally speak to npcs with your own voice and they reply back to you in their skyrim character voices all powered by ai. its amazing ground breaking video game technology you cant find anywhere else. just dont forget to install mad gods overhaul to make it mind blowing amazing

With how old the game is, how boring and broken the vanilla version is, and with how broken the mods are and how technical you have to become just to learn how to mod it without your computer imploding, i have a very difficult time recommending this game to anyone. I love skyrim, i bought it when it released at midnight and i've played over 6000 hours on the game... Im just so disappointed in Bethesda and how little they seem to care anymore.

I write a positive review not for Bethesda's efforts, but for those of the modders who gave this game its teeth without budget or deadlines. If you're not one of the "control freak" types willing to get their hands dirty with modding, then stay away - the vanilla game is not "Skyrim VR" but "Skyrim, but in VR": a lazy port which lacks many common things for VR-only games.

14 years later got to fall in love with one of my all time fav games, just make sure you mod it otherwise it`s unplayably bad

Bethesda are money hungry fools. Don't buy this awful port. Needs a dozen mods to function properly, the base game is unplayable. Even after I got the game working, it's locked in a lower res, so I can't even play it without it looking super pixelated.

vanilla game sucks

vanilla game sucks. Get it when it is on sale since the modders saved it, but remember that Bathesda doesn't care about you and releases buggy games, teasing Elder Scrolls 6 for years and does not deliver.

Total shite. Wanted to jump on the VR bonnanza with the 100th installment of ESV but didn't deliver. Menus the same, open doors with A button. No interaction. Needs mods to be barely enjoyable and distinguishable from the standard version
