The interiors really shine in VR, both in buildings and dungeons. It's Skyrim in VR! Seeing all the familiar sights of the mountains and the towns and buildings in life size is just amazing. It looks really jaggy with anything less than the max AA settings. Running the game on Ultra settings with max AA is a must. Perfomance out in the heavily wooded areas can take a bit of a hit some times. Some of the water effects kind of vanish if you look at them from a certain angle (do not change your view height in the Vorpx UI, it makes this worse). The transition is instant though and it's easy to flick back and forth as needed. Essentially this flattens out and reduces the image size to make it look like you're viewing the game on a big screen TV set a few feet away from you. To get around this you can click a button (middle mouse button by default) to bring up what they call "Edge Peak Mode". The UI doesn't fit on the screen properly in VR and makes it quite hard to see. When you draw out a weapon it makes you look like you've got massive mutant Hulk sized arms that touch the floor when you bend over and look down. Of course in real life it's a totally unnatural viewpoint and so of course in VR it's totally wrong. It's a kind of fudge to make your arms and weapons viewable when playing on a 2D screen. Like a lot of trad FPS type games, Skyrim uses a separate 3d model for your 1st person view from your 3rd person one. Slight fuzzy feel to all the graphics, but you get used to it and tune into it, like you do with a lot of VR's little quirks. Also the grass and foliage looks messy too. Distant mountains and stuff look great but grassy plains and woodlands look cack. Distant landscapes and forests look kind of urgh! But then they always did in Skyrim, it's just more in your face in VR. The only tweaking I did once in game is to push the sharpening in the Vorpx interface right up to 2.0. I only just caved and bought Vorpx a few weeks back myself to give Skyrim a go. Skyrim for me works quite well with Vorpx.
