Oh, I thought that was why the 12 hour stream guy above said he didn't like the Moves and switched to DS4. How do you move around without a stick? Analog control was pretty important in vanilla Skyrim if you wanted to be sneaky, though I guess as a caster I can just use invis and Muffled Movement boots. Invis breaks with practically any action you take though iirc.

Holy down triangle to turn sneak on I believe. He changed to the DS4 because he wasn't a fan of how many buttons he had to remember to use the moves, just easier to use a DS4. I can see going both ways. Apparently you can still use the DS4 if you turn it on after turning on the move mode and moves.

So maybe DS4 left hand and a move right?

That would be pretty cool, and I wonder if you can do that and still use the 'shoot dual spells at two different targets' thing that the Moves allow.

Finally delivered and I have a friend coming over. I'm not doing this right at all. :/

Are the disembodied weapons/hands somehow not really immersion breaking when you're playing it? It looks goofy as hell to me in the YouTube videos, especially watching someone try to aim the bow. I'm planning on playing heavy magic anyway since I already did a ridiculously overpowered "kill everything in one shot even on the highest difficulty" bow build on PC ages ago and I've never been a fan of Bethesda's melee combat systems. The downside there seems to be that dual wielding spells is pretty cool with Move controllers, but because they didn't bother putting a thumb stick on them you're stuck using the teleport movement. I think that's probably a deal-breaker so I'll likely use the DS4.

You can point left wand and hold a button down to move, no teleporting.

I cant say for PSVR - but when playing bridge crew on the rift, the hands feel natural after a while- but their controllers are very different than the glowing ball sticks for psvr

How long are your game sessions with the move controllers before you just grab the DS4?

This game is incredible in VR. I don't know how they did it but I didn't even have a hint of motion sickness.

I played up through Bleak Falls Barrow and holy shit, that place is just fucking amazing in VR. I used the moves up until the dungeon then swapped over to the DS4 so I could see what the differences are.

I felt like I could probably use the moves 100% of the time, they're way more fun for spells and the bow but so far kinda hokey for one handers at least. I've read the shield is bugged and causes you to take out your weapons all the time in town so I haven't tried that yet. Movement wise with the move wands you just aim the left stick where you want to go and hit the top button, so if you want to strafe you point left/right, if you want to go backwards you actually point the move wand behind you almost.

Works well but if you actually want to turn you have to hit either the X or Circle on the right move wand. The problem with this is you have to keep hitting the buttons to turn, you can't just hold it down or anything so there is no real smooth turning with the wands. I really hope they look at this more. Almost seems like it'd make more sense to let you turn by pointing the right wand or something, wish these fucking things just had a stick on them. Either way I could easily see using these the entire time, especially if they make it so holding down the x or circle gives you smooth turning.

The DS4 was just simpler and of course you get smooth turning with the right stick and analog movement with the left. You aim by looking with the headset, works fine but aiming with the move wands is just more fun overall.

Game is so fucking immersive, I didn't even really care for Skyrim that much the first time I played it 6 years ago or whatever, it was cool for 20 or something hours then I just got bored and quit. I can't even imagine feeling that way this time, it's just so fucking epic being inside the world and seeing the scale of something like Bleak Falls Barrow in VR is a whole new experience.

I fucking love this game.

We are all playing as females right, gatta have dem VR tittays

I mean...i am not alone right...

:-(

Saw myself fine in creation but thats the last time you'll see yourself lol. Not sure you can double cast while moving backwards. Other games I've played that you have full motion on the moves have had a button to go backwards. I know they've heard the complaints though so I think we'll see more options in the near future.

Had to fucking mow the lawn irl since in-laws are invading this week, everything taking up my god damn Skyrim VR time.

After playing maxed out fully modded Skyrim on PC this version is so ugly! Tried it with wands and it is terrible, controller is a good time though.

Will likely keep playing, but it isn't OMFG spend 600 bucks to play it good.

Yeah, pretty much completely disagree with all that. There are plenty of other games worth playing as well so it's not just a Skyrim machine. But hey, if you have a Vive/Rift and can wait until next year I'm sure it'll be great on PC like always.

Also, I have no idea how it looks on an OG PS4 as I'm using a pro so I'd imagine it's uglier there as well.
