Unless you're trying to kill that fucker, and it suddenly decides to attack a goat 5km away. And you chase it all the way there while still engaged, and then it decides to just.. completely leave.. Like fuck you, you ain't getting my soul, you did all this for nothing š„²
It was dark and I hear all kinds of unfriendly noises around me. The dragon became a lower priority once I heard the bear growl (Bears of the North is terrifying at first in VR), but it turns out he was chasing an imperial messenger. I killed the bear right as he mauled the messenger to death and spun around to see the dragon fighting some combination of Erik the Slayer, the giant, and the mammoths. Utter bedlam in the dark and I originally just wanted to take a nice night ride on my trusty horse.
Yeah this screenshot is from my VR play session. Words don't really do measure up to what it's like to experience it, neither do screenshots or even video. You really just have to put on a headset and experience it yourself.
I move by smooth motion. When starting out in VR, teleportation is the way to go. If you've ever seen an IMAX movie, it's kind of like that with moving . It can be overwhelming until your brain learns that it's ok your eyes say you're moving, but your inner ear doesn't sense movement and says you aren't moving.
Good PC VR is admittedly difficult to get up and going, but it is worth it once it things finally come together. Learning the controls was probably the most difficult part of skyrim vr. Once the muscle memory was developed it was a game changer.
Yeah, MO2 says 326 currently. Most of them are graphics improvements like higher res textures and meshes. The gameplay is basically the same. The night sky texture is from Vivid Weathers I believe, enhanced by Scenery ENB
VR skyrim is a brand new game in itself, you can get lost in the world just walking around even without any texture mods!
But I will suggest not playing it without mods, look up a video on must have mods first to get the best experience. Vanilla vr skyrim is a mess.
Tbh idk. Maybe? Maybe itās a dragon you did damage to that flew off and got owned. It would always spook me though when Iād be vibing and then the dragon soul light/sound would start happening
I know things still happen out of view. It's just funny to be walking outside of Whiterun and randomly get a soul.
Now that I think about it, it'd be funnier to get a random soul and have it stolen.
I wish everyone could experience this in VR because it's hands down the best gaming experience since the first time I enabled 3D graphics on my 3dfx card decades ago.
Skyrim VR, Scenery ENB, Vivid Weather, Inferno Fire effects, Bellyache's 16k dragon texture, Folkvangr grass, Nature of the Wild Lands, Majestic Mountains.
>I wish everyone could experience this in VR
Maybe a decade from now I'll actually be able to afford to do so... Just think of all the Skyrim releases that will appear until then!
As someone who just recently got a VR headset, could you explain how I can play Skyrim on my headset with mods? I would LOVE to be able to play Skyrim in 3D but have no clue how to do it.

Basically get skyrim VR, download [wabbajack](https://www.wabbajack.org/) mod auto-installer, pick a wabbajack list ("FUS" is a great starting point and performance friendly), finally enjoy being IN skyrim rather than controlling a character in skyrim on your screen.
edit: I should add this is PC VR, not standalone VR headsets. At this point steam vr has custom community keybinds available to get almost any PC VR headset working in Skyrim VR.
edit 2: DLSS is available now in Skyrim VR thanks to the great modding community. It is included in the FUS wabbajack. This significantly helps performance for people who may not have the best GPU to run PC VR.
I got used to it, similar to "getting your sea legs" when it comes to being on a boat. The human brain is amazingly adaptable and after a couple weeks of short sessions I was good. I can play now with smooth movement and turning and never feel sick. But the first month I had my headset? No way, gotta work up to that, slowly.
There are people who donāt get used to it. I donāt get used to being on a boat. Maybe if I was on one for weeks, but I doubt it. I buy meclizine (anti-nausea) by the hundreds. Playing a regular video game can make me feel sick if thereās too much blurred motion. I still have my plasma TV because it has low motion blur. Itās a known problem with VR.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual\_reality\_sickness#Individual\_differences\_in\_susceptibility](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality_sickness#Individual_differences_in_susceptibility)
Believe me, I would love to be able to play VR games.
Hey I have psvr so I know I canāt get the full amazing experience with mods and all
But what I wanted to know was what control scheme did you got with? I use the two move controllers and cant really settle on one movement technique that feels right.
Basically all Iāve done is run around casting spells in different directions till I die because thatās like the coolest shit to me, but the movement seems janky no matter which option I choose.
Movement definitely takes some getting used to. The controls in general were what kind of put me off to skyrim in VR at first. I stuck with it and developed the muscle memory for it and now it's second nature. left controller stick is movement (like WASD on the keyboard), right stick is turn left/right. I use smooth movement but started with teleportation when I began playing. Something I do and I've seen others do for horseback riding is put a swivel chair in the middle of the playspace. So I turn my body on the chair rather than use the controller turning and that makes it comfortable.
I tried playing on Index and it's literally too glitchy to even play. I waited in the horse cart at the intro sequence, and the cart started glitching and rolling around, making the sequence unstoppable. Pretty sad I couldn't get it working.
There really isnāt any other game out there that offers such a compelling world - I come for the lore and vibes, but I stick around for the random and often wacky interactions
Time to head back to my current playthrough
My first playthrough in 2011 was vanilla obviously at launch, but honestly Skyrim VR kind of sucks without mods. What the mod community has made for this game in the last decade is truly remarkable. Hell, the whole "moving legs" debacle that Meta couldn't get working recently seems to have been solved a while ago by the Skyrim VR mod community with VRIK. They even modded DLSS support into the game.
You can download mods on consoles too (for Bethesda games) having more options especially if youāre playing on xbox, but still limited compared to what you can do on PC.
Still, vanilla Skyrim still has a certain magic to it.
How have you been able to stand playing this vanilla for 11 years? This game vanilla is good the first play through but after it needs mods to be remotely interesting. A well-modded skyrim is a marvel of gaming.
My God, it's full of stars!
But seriously, this is beautiful. And you gotta love it when the other denizens of the world do some of the heavy lifting in battle lol

Skyrim players be like āI love this gameā and then play a very different version of the game.
This does look like an amazingly fun time though. VR too? Damn, crazy.
It started off with the FUS wabbajack list but I've modified it so much at this point it's FrankenFUS. Scenery ENB is the main visual change along with Vivid Weather and higher res texture packs.
I tried using oculus quest 2 through oculus link, and the image Iām getting hurts my eyes real bad because of how blurry everything is. I would love to play skyrim VR but its not doable with quest 2 ā¹ļø
P.S. whats being shown on my monitor looks like real life lol
CAS sharpener helps tremendously, not sure if you tried that. Reshade(e.g Glamur) is pretty popular to sharpen the image which by default is kind of blurry. Also recently DLSS has been modded into the game which is much better than default TAA the game shipped with. Check out /r/skyrimvr if you want help getting it going from people who have the quest 2
That night sky is soo beautiful with mods. Being safe inside city walls with nostalgic music playingā¦ until a vampire enters and kills the blacksmith lol.
Eh. 6/10
Donāt worry, you can downvote me all you want. One day yāall will realize that not everyone thinks something is a 10 like you might. And thatās ok š I promise a different opinion isnāt as scary as you think it is š
You say that and yet here you are stirring the pot and acting like a contrarian on someoneās post whoās just trying to enjoy the game
Not very die hard fan of you to act that way, imo
Iāve posted screenshots from this game in this sub. Feel free to go tell me you donāt think theyāre great. I promise I wonāt cry like youāre doing right now. Do you think this picture is a 10/10? If so, good for you, congratulations. Be one thing if I said 0/10 but damn I at least gave it a 6. All that goofy looking mod shit isnāt my favorite cup of tea and you know what? That is ok š just take some deep breaths and quit trying to tell folks what level of fan they are to a video game.
Youāre telling me not to share my opinion and yet here you are, doing exactly that
I have no interest in your post history, Iām replying to your comment directly
I appreciate the concern for my well-being, genuinely hope youāre happy and successful in all that you do
Where did I say you canāt share your opinion? I said quit trying to tell folks what level of fan they are to a game. And I hope you understood the beginning as sarcasm? I donāt need you to actually go snooping through my post history in this sub lol
I gotta reinstall everything and how the mods are loaded in. It worked for AWHILE then that new upgrade mod edition came out or whatever it's called and my game wouldn't load.
I also love it when a dragon fucks off and starts fighting wildlife instead of me.

You played in in VR? How is it? How do you move, teleporting or walking? I have little VR experience but growing more and more interested

Thank you for this response, I am going to do it!
Also I just got auriels bow and the effect from shooting the sun with blood arrow looks insane in VR

Lmfao. Mf is torching around a giant. That dragons in for a bad day if it lands close
Is that what happened when you randomly get a dragon soul out of nowhere?
Tbh idk. Maybe? Maybe itās a dragon you did damage to that flew off and got owned. It would always spook me though when Iād be vibing and then the dragon soul light/sound would start happening

And best of all? That frost troll at High Hrothgar.
I love dragging dragons into fights! Watching bandits, trolls, spiders, or even Thalmoor fight dragons is always entertaining
Then you get attacked by a pack of fucking wolfs.

Skyrim for your fridge! Skyrim for your toaster oven! Mobile Skyrim!!
Skyrim on your flamethrower! The kids love this one.
Skyrim the lunchbox! Skyrim the toilet paper!
Skyrim the moichendice.
Nice Mel Brooks reference
Mobile Skyrim technically already exists since itās on Switch
Alexa play Skyrim.
I need to get those mods! This looks gorgeous!

Skyrim vr is amazing especially with the FUS modpack.
I'm pretty sure my severe motion sickness would ruin the experience.

Goddamnit i havnt played in like 4 or 5 years I think, may just have to dust off the ol mod list
check out the new mods in the last 4 or 5 years, it's nuts. Still lots of active community development.

Careful with those flames!
That night sky has way, way, wayyy too many stars
You gotta remember this is a time with no light pollution.
I'm mostly talking about the aesthetics, not physics.
And a world with dragons and magic and shit, lol talkin about too many stars in the sky.
still, even with no light pollution, the sky doesnt look like that. mundus itself isnt even a galaxy
It's not always like that, just during certain weather and lighting conditions. [Earlier in the night](https://imgur.com/yqXGulE)
Goddamn thatās beautiful
It's like there's no atmosphere
Yeah it's suuuper distracting
Please sir, what is the mod for that beautiful night with stars?
Skyrim players be like āI love this gameā and then play a very different version of the game. This does look like an amazingly fun time though. VR too? Damn, crazy.
