I only play Skyrim in VR now and there's zero chance they ever update that.
I would love to play Skyrim vr but my laptop is an absolute powerhouse and doesn’t have the right ports for my vive pro and I use a family desktop that my family uses for sports simulators for VR
the desktop is pretty good but it’s a potato for vr. Capable of running if I turn the settings low enough and long load times :(
I’ve tried adapters that didn’t work and a wireless attachment requires me to open up the laptop and there’s probably no room in there cus laptop
Well, hope you can get it sorted at some point. I played through it on a 1660 with Quest 2 and it was amazing. The base game is a super lazy VR port, but a couple of mods can make it into one of the best VR games around.
I'd kind of been itching to revisit Skyrim after all these years; VR could be the way to go. Mind sharing what you'd consider the best VR mods?
The big three are VRIK to have a body, HIGGS for proper hand interactions and PLANCK for physics. And you'll want something for magic selection. I got used to the glyph-writing system of MageVR, but there are some selection-wheel based mods that are highly praised if you want a more simple, if gamey, system.
For more I'd have to look into my modlist but these are the must-haves IIRC. Maybe there's something new too. The modding scene was fairly active last time I checked.
Unless there's been a breakthrough, it's best to stay away from melee combat, as that's more than a little jank. I went with a lightning mage and had a ton of fun. Stealth archer is of course always an option, but I couldn't be arsed to keep crouching IRL all the time
