The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR

Bethesda owes Skyrim VR’s mod authors an enormous debt. On its own, the game feels like a lazy VR port, with awkward integration and design choices that make the experience frustrating and, at times, almost unplayable. I tried playing without mods, but it felt worse and far more restrictive than the standard non VR version. After installing the Mad God Overhaul modlist, which contains nearly 2,000 mods, the difference was night and day. The game suddenly became immersive, engaging, and genuinely addictive. Playing Skyrim VR this way is incredible, but it also feels wrong that Bethesda still takes the money for a version of the game that relies so heavily on unpaid modders to become truly great.

Wanted to give the unmodded experience a try and my god, you can't even get past the character creator because there's no virtual keyboard. Basically forced to mod this game for it to literally be playable.

Great game...once modded. This shouldn't be necessary. Be better Bethesda.

Lots of fun, but agree with everyone else. Modding is a must. Plus $60 for a game that came out 15 years ago is absurd. Do not buy this at full price and without the intention of modding. Would give a positive rating if the price wasn't absurd.

do NOT buy this game full price ♥♥♥♥ bethesda for releasing this crap . but... if you have the patience to mod, and ♥♥♥♥ around with mods... and get the game for cheap... this . will. be. the. best . playthrough. you . EVER have. PERIOD. but vanilla it is a waste of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ money. ♥♥♥♥ you Todd Howard

Not so great if you play it vanilla, but it is increadible with mods. So many mods. I recommend HIGGS, PLANCK, VRIKs, Spell Wheel VR, Sunhelm Survival, Auto Sneak And Jump, and their requirements as a good starting setup. These will give you a full body avatar instead of just floating hands and will add in physics collisions and interactability thats lacking in vanilla. Tired of those chickens ratting you out to the guards? Now you can just reach down, grab them with your hands, and throw them into the river! Even with mods, Archery is a bit jank and aiming spells can be a bit tricky. Also be sure to tweak your .ini files to get better visuals or it'll be blurry. LOD is low and dynamic resolution is on by default, so change the LOD settings and disable dynamic resolution (disable in steam vr settings, too). I get about 90fps on my quest 3 on desktop (rtx4090, ryzen 7 7800X3D, 64gb ddr5) using virtual desktop over wifi6 router.

Shouldn't have to mod your game to an insane degree to get an actual VR game.

Recommended only if you're willing to install mods. By itself it is very boring due to the severe lack of interactivity and underutilization of VR controls. But with mods like HIGGS, PLANCK, VRIK and Conduit, it's a lot of fun.

I was like, this game can't be THAT bad without mods. Well, its literally unplayable. Whoever QAed this game and programmed it should be fired. Bethesda should be ashamed of releasing hot garbage trash like this. 0/10.
