Bumping this for an update.I recently decided to jump back in to SkyrimVR after nearly a year of not playing it. And when I did play it in VR last year, I didn't get very far before getting bored and shelving it.However, I had the urge to sneak around killing peeps with a Bow so decided to give it another chance. And while I still have my gripes about this VR Port, there is one thing I noticed - on a very positive end - that I wanted to mention!Going back to when I played Vanilla Skyrim, I found that I really hated the Maps for:
- Soul Cairn
- Blackreach
Even though those regions looked quite pretty/unique, I just hated being there. In fact, if memory serves, I think that both of those maps caused me to take month long breaks from the game. These are large regions with only a Local Map and the experience just sucked overall (imo).But not in VR! For some reason... standing in these regions in Virtual Reality made me want to stay. For first time, I completed the sub-quests in Soul Cairn, and I'm almost done exploring Blackreach in its entirety. I noticed that while in VR, I am more comfortable with the regions and its landmarks, so it makes traveling around much more pleasant. Being able to see things with my own eyes seemed to remove all the frustration that I experienced back when I was using my Mouse/Keyboard to "pan" around these regions during the Vanilla experience.The fascination for me is that this is the first time during my 3 years with VR that I've had something occur where VR made an experience that I previously "hated" turn in to something that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Well don't get me wrong, I still think that at least 50% of SkyrimVR is total pants! lolThe menu system frustrates me to no end, as it is constantly getting stuck inside walls, doors, etc. I have to make sure I position myself at proper angles before clicking that A button. Plus, mining, crafting, hotkeyed weapons/spells/potions, etc... all still poopish. Melee is like something out of an ACME Cartoon.Maybe some of these issues have been Modded by now, but I'm using Nexus Mod Mgr, and there's no way I'm migrating to a new tool.But hey... they get a +1 for making intolerable regions so fascinating in VR.🙂

You can play while seating. Just turn OFF the Realistic Sneaking option and you're good.I prefer to engage in all VR experiences while standing, but sometimes after a long ass day... I just gotta sit.
