I give this a recommendation with two GIGANTIC caveats.

Caveat the first: This game NEEDS mods...
You're looking probably at least 5+ just to meet the barest of bones QoL to really make the game shine. Like having an actual avatar instead of being a set of disembodied hands or substantively interacting with the environment. Once you get through those it really starts to shine. It doesn't seem like there is a huge difference between looking at a floating hand vs being able to see your arm but there really is.

Caveat the second: The Price
IMHO this game is NOT worth the asking MSRP of $60, especially with all the tinkering that it needs under the hood. If you are going to buy it my advice is to buy it on sale.

At the time of this writing I think I've spent about as much time fighting with mods as I have playing the game, but I think I've finally hit a decent balance and can stop playing the introduction to the game on loop while trying to make sure things aren't going to explode.

There are a lot of other high fantasy VR games out there but from what I have seen of most of them at best they look like highly polished tech demos. While the Elder Scrolls VR Port certainly shows it's age it's the most complete world. It probably doesn't hurt that I've spent years avoiding the franchise so the experience is also completely new to me.

Even if I feel the need to tap on the Caveat sign one final time.
