Skyrim VR is An Absolute Nightmare - This Is Why - Remastered

I return to review the biggest VR game of last year and remaster it so it can't be removed from KZbin. Skyrim VR. I may describe Skyrim VR like it is an absolute nightmare but listen closely and you’ll be able to tell its all for fun, this game is the best and easily the best VR game by miles. This is why forever

My amazing poster: www.pixelempire.com/products/...
Skyrim VR had none of the problems Fallout 4 VR had on release, I discuss all the things in Skyrim VR that are an absolute nightmare but overall it vastly improves Skyrim vanilla and Bethesda did a great job. I do feela few things were missing from the release of Skyrim VR but these can easily be fixed with a few mods, I consider modding Skyrim VR an absolute necessity , without it perhaps Skyrim VR really is an absolute nightmare…
If you enjoy my ‘This Is Why’ series please do let me know what you like and what I should do more of, I will eventually move away from VR for a little while and start doing commentary on gameplay, it will just be me having highly edited adventures, I won’t let the quality drop.

[@UpIsNotJump]

Enjoy the changez! This wasn't really about the money, I know it's a little silly, but I consider this video a turning point in my life for a lot of reasons. I left my job to do KZbin soon after it, but I also saw it as the biggest achievement of my life the day it came out, I really am super proud of it. I didn't like the idea of the revenue going to someone else, this is my baby and I love it... Love you all too :D

Regarding Witcher vs Skyrim and the graphical presentation: I think Witcher never actively went for the classic RPG/D&D tone that Skyrim did. Magic as a whole is very toned down, especially on the main character and the line between monsters and humans is very blurry. So it makes sense that they chose and overall more realistic approach to the presentation. Skyrim on the other hand goes full fantasy world from start to finish.

[@devonesq.7533]

it's just the fantastical enviorments in skyrim, it's obviously unrealistic, but i mean it's a fantasy game, if i wanted to experience real life, i'd just go outside. i don't really care if something objectively doesn't 'make sense' as long as its implemented in a fun and interesting way.

There's a mod called Dragon Dogfights which makes Dragons seek out other dragons and duel them, the only issue is eventually all the dragons on the map are in one place so fighting them is almost impossible, I had about 25 of them around solitude ranging from scrub level lizards to flying vistas of my inevitable demise, it makes search and destroy missions for the dragons basically mandatory and if you want to play Skyrim with a little more urgency it's great
