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.
Oh nice
But when I get a new computer (probably not for a good couple of years) I was gonna try to keep in mind the ports
I used to play vr on my vive but the slow loading times on the computer kinda made it slowly fall off
Plus all the games that currently have my attention are in pancake mode
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
