Gaming Nexus - Bethesda Abandoned Fallout 4 VR and Skyrim VR and It's a Damn
Shame.
"Steam is still selling both Fallout 4 VR and Skyrim VR at $60. There have been a few sales here and there, but these two titles, in their current state and age, shouldn’t be near a $60 price tag. And with their lack of support, it definitely shouldn’t be bought at $60.I’m more disappointed than anything that Bethesda abandoned these two titles. While they aren’t perfect, they are still very enjoyable experiences that can offer many hours of great VR gameplay. If only Bethesda would allocate a few developers to fix some of the issues, these two titles could really be something in the VR world.
A company should stand by their product and support it with fixes when need be. Bethesda is a large enough company that this shouldn’t be an issue in dedicating a few resources to make the game run better for everyone who has bought it. But having just three patches for Fallout 4 VR and two for Skyrim VR, these two titles deserve better and it’s unfortunate that Bethesda has basically washed their hands of them."

My biggest issue is 1) the graphics are reduced, 2) I'm not about to spend another 400+ hours standing up 3) last time I checked mod support was non-existant.
If you're talking Skyrim a quick ini edit allows any of the Skyrim SE mods to run on it (and as one would expect, there's a Skyrim VR subset of SE mods). It also has it's own Skyrim VR script extender.
Also, you can play it seated.

Bethesda... fixing bugs...
On the other hand, VR is still a niche enough market that it's possible they can't justify spending more money on patches at this point in time.

Could you recommend the mods that make it worthwhile?
- scope mod (since corrected by Beth)
- tracer mod (so that you can see where your shots go)
- trueshot mod (you hit where you aim with less RNG)
- lighting / color balance mod
- an .ini tweak that helped with the SS and framerate (which I think might have also been addressed in a Beth patch)
- mod to patch in DLC content from original

I check back in every few months (years?) and have not heard of anything that makes the experience worth it, even now.

I'm just about done with any of their future titles.
