Virtual Reality Is A Gamechanger

The Adventures of Swift Tail
CHAPTER 1

I'm playing skyrim VR and everyday I discover something new. Bowfishing is too much fun. Slaying my first dragon made me stand up and raise my twin axes to the sky in victory yelling out in triumph. Climbing the "7000 steps" to the Graybeard's sanctuary gave me my first ever case of motion sickness from the heights, it only lasted a moment though.

Mountain climbing in VR is exhilarating!!! Stealing, sneaking, and pickpocketing is so realistic it's almost intimate. One of the craziest things I've noticed is that all living things that see you make eye contact which probably sounds pointless but when you speak to some one and they look directly into your eyes no matter where you stand or how you move, it feels so real it's startling. I find myself saying my lines aloud so it feels organic when the AI responds. Usually when I play an RPG I get into a character but this is to the point where I'll only do what Swift Tail would do. I have no say in the matter, only him. One weird thing though is that since it's all in VR there is no 3rd person and since there are no mirrors in game I forgot what Swift Tail looks like.

"Fus Ro", the power to shout and send a blast of kinetic energy out in front of you, is ridiculously satisfying in VR. And I'm not sure if it was a glitch but a young stag walked right up and let me pet it.

Which I did gladly. Oh and manual decoration using objects is so fun it could almost be it's own game.

Now get out there and have a fantastic day and if you can try some VR.
