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

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)

*don't buy at full price* I've said this before about another bethesda game I think. The thumbs up isn't for the base game but the modding community. Yeah, you gotta fix it with mods. Totally worth it! Get it on sale.

Thanks to the modding community, this is the best VR game out there, and it only takes a couple of mods to make it so. You can have a body, with arms and legs. You can holster weapons all over the place; wrists, hips, back, etc. You can reach back and realistically pull your bow or greatsword off of your back. You can realistically lift potions to your mouth to drink or load your backpack. You can use gestures or draw runes in the air to cast or equip spells, or conveniently bring up your potions in a spell wheel around your hand to quickly drink one mid-battle, not even interrupting the flow of things (or configure it to slow or pause combat if you need the extra moment). Skyrim VR feels very immersive, and the more you mod it, the further you can take it. To get a good VR experience, people typically just want to grab VRIK and HIGGS, as well as maybe also Mage VR and Spellwheel. (I'm not 100% sure that I spelled all of those properly) While playing Skyrim VR, there are really some breathtaking gameplay experiences that will just hit you a lot differently than viewing your gameplay on a normal screen. My favorite so far is probably Blackreach. The immensity of the underground cavern, the aesthetics of the glowing tentacles and scenery, the immensity of the huge underground waterfalls and hearing the water crashing down in both ears; it's all very impressive and you feel like you've just walked into this fascinating and huge underground world. Personally though, I find each new environment to be something exciting to take in though. The peaceful serene environment of Eldergleam Sanctuary is an example of a nice VR experience, for example, and sometimes the experience is a little different than just captivating ambiance and scenery. For example, there's the haunted house, where you get trapped in the middle of a big steel spiky thing, and as you look around, there are literally spikes all around you as you turn your head around to view your predicament. It looks so deadly, and convinces you just how terrifying the predicament that you've found yourself in is. Combat is a fun and unique experience in VR as well. Just a basic flames spell is a whole new satisfying experience, putting your hands out in front of you and seeing the flames billowing out from them. Spellcasting is very fun and exciting. Also. Pure mage builds are trickier to set up, but VR makes you want to di it, I think that combat in general is much more fun and engaging when playing in VR. You can really feel the difference between the reach of a greatsword, and having to get in there physically close to an enemy to hit them with your daggers. At the same time though, it makes it just a little more satisfying to get in there and get those dagger hits. I love the feel of a really quick right, left, right when dual-wielding daggers. The most interesting combat mechanic for me in VR is probably parrying. In VR, I actually enjoy it a great deal. Actually holding up my arm to parry the attack is just really satisfying to me, and being in VR I think helps to really telegraph those incoming attacks to you as well, making it something most anyone can handle. If you want to add a challenge to it though, just install the Realistic Combat Overhaul mod, or another combat overhaul. This will make enemy combat more challenging to react to. For my next experiences, I'm itching to try some of the mods that are described as horror mods, that mention things like jump scares in their descriptions or dark and scary themes. I'm certain that VR will be a next level way to experience them. Some of the mods in this area that I think will be great to try, and that I'll be trying myself, are Clockwork, Beyond Reach, and Vigilant, along with the two follow up mods to Vigilant. Even if all you do is give yourself enough mods so that you have arms, legs, some holsters, and collissions to interact with things in a real-feeling way, Skyrim VR is a truly enjoyable experience, even if you've played normal Skyrim many times. I would say that the only con is the time it takes to set up and troubleshoot. Right out of the gate, you might not like your image quality or your performance. Most people can get pretty good improvement to both with a little time and effort. It will be an investment of your time, but in my opinion, it is well worth it.
