Most people loved Skyrim, have fond memories of it, spend way too much time modding for it.
The ability to have a whole world to explore was just amazing for the time.
Then VR happened and the idea of having Skyrim was just too good too be true, but happened and Bethesda did an alright job but like usual it was a really flawed implementation. Later on mods were released for it, but most of them was still WIP and it just became a management nightmare. Seeing the world in VR was EPIC, but you could see the textured and dated models all over the world, the game did show it's age and well the sword combat sucked badly.
It made you think what would happen if a similar game came along with a big budget and did just everything right in the beginning and was made for VR. What if the new Elder scrolls went this path, well it does not seem likely and that a game like that in VR will simply never materialize.
But I was wrong. Asgards Wrath got released recently and it's sheer scale and attention to detail is simply astonishing. It's everything I wish Skyrim would of been and more and I don't see the next Elder Scrolls game being able to compete with it without going the VR route.
I know the market of VR is smaller, but with the quality and experience a game like Asgards Wrath give, that magical feeling when you see that world as if your right there, it's on another level.
A flat screen Elder Scrolls game will simply be inferior to something like Asgards Wrath. If your looking forward to it still, ignore VR completely, because VR feels like it's just reached the next level and ignorance is bliss.
