Both the best and worse game in VR, vanilla is borked but after installing ~150 mods is very nice

A great modded experience. I think this game is great, if you're playing with mods. For VR lovers it's a great experience. I look down at my hands and see lizard scales or kitty cat paws. Combat can be a bit of a pain since it's hard to know where folks have snuck up on you, and I can only play short burst because of motion sickness, but if this your jam it's still a great title.

In a way I cannot speak in this game but I can shout and with some mods that give me a real body. piledriving a bandit off a mountain never felt so good. 6/10 vanilla 9/10 modded.

Game itself alright, mods make it better

By itself, it's just a shell of a game. But, it's something that came out over a decade ago and STILL has a foothold. With mods like HIGGS and PLANCK the fun and possibilities become endless.

Absolutely Flawless. All Special Edition Mods except for the Exception of a Couple work, which makes the Game Legendary. MUST BUY for VR Owners!

One of THE best VR titles out there, as long as you are comfortable adding some QOL mods.

It's Skyrim, grab it on a sale and enjoy hundreds of hrs of wonderful open-world RPG VR fun. The modding community is awesome, and have fixed the MANY issues Bethesda apparently just left broken for the VR port. (Side note, mod compatibility is going to be spotty for a time since the Anniversary Edition release broke many mods.) Still one of the best VR experiences out there, and, it's all the Elder Scrolls we are gonna have for at least another 5-6yrs, lols.
