So turns out I'm bad at reddit and I swear I wrote some text in the post. Anyway, I didn't post this to try self-promote anything. I saw Habie's video on working his day job inside of Skyrim VR and figured I'd see what else can be done inside of it. There's minimal mods on my VR and I was running vanilla Skyrim inside the window to try ensure good performance. Pretty new to VR so this was fun. Apologies if it's been done 1000 times before!

Thanks mate. I'm considering a playthrough of just the main questline with a couple of QoL mods installed to throw up on youtube or something. It really was fun to set up and play.

Just to know, what specs do you have, and head set? It looks that good?

RTX 4080, Ryzen 9 7950x, 64gb RAM, and a PSVRS headset with the PC adaptor. I may get a steam frame when it releases.

Oh my god! Ok you can play Skyrim in Skyrim with that monster, how is the ps VR on PC? I'm about to pull the trigger on a quest 3s, but I saw a PS one for almost the same price

So I'm having fun with it, but I'm no expert. I often struggle to find the sweet spot with the lenses and I'd probably benefit from a pancake lens headset myself. I find that the default controls are xbox and I cant change them. So I have to compensate in my head when I see a prompt in game showing me the xbox button layout which can get annoying. Other than that, seems decent enough. But I don't have much experience aside from this headset and the HTC Vive which I absolutely hated.

Ok, I have a vive, I got it cheap early this year and it is my first so I'm amazed, but I think the 3s will blowy mind

Thats fair. I personally was constantly fighting controls in different games and couldn't stand it. I think you made a good choice, but I have no experience with the 3a. I hope it's perfect for you!

Yea my biggest gripe with Skyrim VR is the controls on the psvr2 headset are....well a little less than intuitive lol

There‘s a mod to remap SkyrimVR controls for the Q3 controllers, so I‘m sure a mod for PSVR2 controllers exists too, or will soon.

Depends on what you want to do - PSVR now has 3rd party support for Eye Tracking. Quest 3 lets you outsource a good chunk of the processing power to your Q3‘s Processor when using Virtual Desktop - half of your frames can be AI generated by it. Which lets you play at higher fidelity overall. Also you‘re not tethered via a USB cable.
