Skyrim VR |OT| Take a Coffee Table to the Knee

I know what it isn't you speak of, Abd personally haven't experienced any wobble or drift from my 10+ hours so far. It just works.
I suffer from this in most games unless I play in complete darkness but Skyrim is good.
I played a bit midday and I was really surprised that it behaved itself, no scene wobble and only minute drifting of the Moves.
Are they the power attack though? Or is it advantageous/stamina effecient to just swing away? Is there stamina?
I think I know what he is speaking of.
Sometimes when playing VR I notice that after coming out of it my head is facing a different direction from where I began.
For example, looking at the TV used to be looking north, but after 10 minutes North is likely me looking way to the left of the TV.
That is usually the case for me as well. After a session of eagle flight I have damn near strangled myself with the VR cables. Skyrim magically works fine though.
Oh I see what you mean, Recentering in VR kinda thing. happened to me with Farpoint I think as I remember my partner joking I kept looking at her and not the TV. Had to explain to her that facing the camera is what's important. Lol
There is a super easy way to fix this issue but most aren't aware of it:
When turning on your headset make sure it is on a flat surface and let it sit for a few seconds. A dev made a post highlighting this was the solution to preventing any drift from happening. I have done this since a few weeks after launch of the headset and not experienced drift since.
Any wobble is caused by poor calibration, occluding the headset from the camera or being out of the tracking area. I highly recommend thoroughly going through the initial set up until it is faultless because when you have done it once you shouldn't have any problems. I move my camera around a lot and don't have any issues. The guides are in the PSVR OT if people have the issue.
I was getting bad headset wobble because my camera was 7 feet away on my TV. I solved it by getting a mic stand and putting the camera on it about 5 feet away and about a foot above my head looking down on me sitting.
Played it with my friends PSVR today and it solidified my purchase decision. The scale of the world in this is so fascinating and exactly what I'd expect from VR.
I'll pick one up now thanks to Black Friday deals and Skyrim. Looking forward to play some older games in VR as well, especially RE7.
But the media coverage of VR is really lacking. Only 2 reviews on metacritic for such a good and big game. Sony has to push the coverage more.

Thanks for the feedback on the drift and wobble. The Skyrim bundle over here has the V2 headset. My main concern is that when it did wobble it made me feel unwell and so even thinking about using PSVR became about whether I'd want to risk feeling off again.
When I did get the PSVR, I did all the calibration / moving things around / adjusting lighting multiple times and nothng helped.

A friend at a big outlet and the editor both hate VR with a passion, for no particular reason. He refuses to try anything too. I'm pretty sure he made up his mind from the Oculus rollercoaster demo, four years ago.
So easy to just lose hours in this without realising. The game continues to impress me over and over again. Escalation Studios really did a good job with this. I hope Bethesda considers giving their future IP's VR consideration from a ground-up perspective because the experience can only get better and it's already really good.
Played as far as Whiterun today. Loving every bit of it - this is the 3rd version of Skyrim that I own and it may just be the one that I finally finish thanks to the immersion.
Yeah it would help, But user reviews can help too and opencritic was at 9.2 last i checked. The VR reviews have been positive with the Ars one being poorly written in my opinion as they couldnt even figure out how to strafe backwards with the moves.

You have to return to the title screen to switch between DualShock 4 and Move Controllers. There is a "VR Settings" option at the title screen's main menu to switch. Make sure they are turned on, also.
Do you mean in the game or in the PSVR settings? The blacks are so heavy that I was tooling around with turning the in game brightness all the way up to compensate. I'd love to be able to adjust the gamma!
So I'm at the end of Bleak Falls Barrow with the 3 rings puzzle.
For some reason I can't move the rings. Did I miss something?
edit: after some research, seems like a classic glitch.

- The pillars in the puzzle room or the rings on the claw door will not move, exit and re-enter Bleak Falls Barrows. Reloading a previous save may resolve the issue.
As someone who's never played Skyrim before, I found this incredibly overwhelming. Not necessarily the VR aspect, but trying to cope with that while being not super familiar with Skyrim's UI and gameplay systems is a pretty big ask imo.
Not sure what to do. It was really nice wandering around tho, I will see how I feel after playing more tomorrow.

Don't feel like you need to learn it all at once, just go with whatever feels natural, that's the beauty of Skyrim: freedom.
How can I center the headset using the move (or dual shock controller)? In other VR games holding down the option button on the dual shock does it, but that's not the case here.
You can't screw up builds but in typical Bethesda fashion you can screw up quests by unintentionally killing NPCs, so save plenty and save often. Just a nudge, there are guilds in this game and you might be interested in joining one of them early on. In fact, I highly recommend ditching the main quest and doing everything else first, it's more fun that way.
As a fellow arachnophobe I can tell you first hand that the spiders in this game are legitimately terrifying.
I've only had one encounter which is right at the start but that one room with only 4 or so spiders was hellish enough, the room covered in egg sacs and cobwebs didn't help either.
I fought them off with a bow from a looooong distance and it was still unnerving.
It's manageable though and you can always stop, pull of the headset and pause until you're ready to confront them.
This made a huge difference to the ambiance and perceived graphics quality for me. I turned mine down to a few notches above minimum.

Quick save before an uncertain decision if you're worried. The game also keeps three auto saves at all times. Read your quest log and follow your waypoints on your compass.
Other than that, just do what you feel would be what your character would do in that world. You can be a saint or a villain. A thief or a protector. Mage, Warrior, battle mage. Whatever. :)
I may have to avoid them completely, I will try but I am not sure if I am going to be able to. I have to say though I do wander if this will help me get over my fear of spiders. I can't imagine how big they must look in VR, they were really big just looking at them in the normal version of the game. I almost had to turn the game off when the ones from the ceiling come down.
The bow does seem like a really good idea.
Yeah, and if I remember right there was a cave or something back when I played this years ago that had tons of spiders and one really big one... that's gonna be interesting. -_-
I figured out why weapons draw in their own finally. If you have a shield equipped when your weapons are sheathed, and hold your left move controller parallel to your body (like you hold it when blocking with the shield) it will draw your weapons. I think it does that so you can quickly bring your shield up to block if you are currently sheathed.
Very annoying. If you unequip a shield it will stop doing it.
