A Skyrim VR streamer who spent $15,000 on a VR setup just for the Bethesda game has added a new element into the mix: actual pain. You ever feel like video games don't feel real enough to you? Sure, you can put on a headset and experience games in first-person thanks to VR tech, but you can't feel anything exactly. There's always putting on a haptic feedback suit, but even then, something's missing… The true way to experience a game is to feel the very pain your character is feeling, something that Skyrim VR and Fallout VR streamer Gingas has decided to put themselves through for the sake of e

The Twitch streamer who conquered Elden Ring using their brain earlier this year is now using similar tech to take one a modded mage playthrough of Skyrim VR. For those who haven’t had the pleasure of stumbling across a clip from one of Perrikaryal’s streams before, they’ve become known for taking on a whole host of games using a brain imaging device called an EEG. This handy gadget allows them to control the action using the electrical activity in their brain, which the EEG’s sensors pick up and allow to be used in a similar manner to the traditional controller inputs. As alluded to, they’ve

Skyrim is often joked about by many due to Bethesda's re-releases of the RPG game on various platforms throughout the years. It is undoubtedly one of The Elder Scrolls series' best entries, considering everything from its expansive world to its immersive questlines. You can sink thousands of hours into Skyrim, and you can do so on any platform imaginable. Sure, you have it on Amazon's Alexa device and your PC, but really, everything can run Skyrim. One Las Vegas hotel is here to prove just that. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: Best Skyrim mods 2023 Skyrim console commands and chea

Spend enough time in any RPG and you'll eventually run out of things to talk about with its characters. But what if they had a never-ending supply of dynamically generated anecdotes? What if you could ask them questions that weren't listed on a menu in front of you? What if they could even remember the experiences they've had with you in the game, and could talk about them at length? Those are the questions modder Art From The Machine is trying to answer in Skyrim VR... Read more.

I have, once again, taken the bait. Along with the launch of Skyrim Anniversary Edition, Skyrim Special Edition received an update recently to celebrate the game's 10th birthday, and it introduced something rather important: Skyrim's first official fishing minigame. It's a Creation Club add-on complete with fishing mechanics, quests and special rewards. And so, with the promise of fantastical fish in mind, last weekend I found myself trundling down a mountain in the back of a familiar cart. The reason I was so excited for this addition - beyond the mere appeal of something new being added to S

A modder has created a "real virtual magic" mod for Skyrim VR. The mod uses a brain computer interface that measures your concentration. The more you focus, the higher your magicka bar becomes. Fill it up and you'll do double damage; let it drop and you'll do less. Read more

Making games, we are often reminded, is hard, with development frequently being derailed by the most preposterously unpredictable things. Behold, for instance, the newly revealed story of Skyrim's iconic cart ride, and how it was, for a time before release, routinely thwarted by a particularly stubborn bee. The full tale was recently recounted on Twitter by 14-year Bethesda veteran - and now solo indie developer - Nate Purkeypile, who served as senior world and lighting artist during the creation of Skyrim. "That intro is famous now," Purkeypile wrote, "but back then, it was just that one thin

Half-Life: Alyx ‘s gravity gloves ruined a lot of other virtual reality games for me, because being able to point and flip objects into my hands solved a lot of awkward manoeuvring problems common in other games. It’s hard, after the elegance of Half-Life’s system, to go back to bending, sidestepping, and grasping at the air to pick up items – or worse, having your hands lack any and all collision with the world around you. Enter the modders. Specifically, enter modder FlyingParticle, who has released HIGGS VR for Skyrim VR. It’s a mod that adds gravity glove-style interaction to Skyrim, and

When you want to marry an NPC in Skyrim, you propose using an Amulet of Mara. In real life, you can now buy an official 10-karat gold ring based on the amulet’s design. For $1000, you can make your proposal hella Skyrim. I have previously heard of at least one person proposing with a custom ring based on the amulet, and one who proposed with an actual replica amulet. (more…)

Nowadays, I’m a Skyrim watcher and not a Skyrim doer. I used to be a doer, but that involved more than just installing the game. I’d start modding, and I wouldn’t stop. Couldn’t stop. I’d spend more time looking for lore appropriate coin distribution than shouting at dragons. Eventually, something would break, and I’d uninstall it, promising that I wouldn’t fall into that hole again. It’s been a long struggle, but when I stumbled upon YouTube compilations of heavily-modded Elder Scrolls, I finally broke the curse. Some brave souls do the hard w
