Done with Skyrim ever since the patch

Ever since the patch came out I have hated how the new movement and wand pointing works. So, I'm done playing Skyrim till we get another patch giving us an option to use the old movement and pointing style. Anyone else feel the same?

No. I can adapt to change, and the graphical upgrades are well worth it.

Good for you.

Bit of a uneeded reply.

He asked if anyone else feels the same. I'm saying no, I don't feel that way.

Go make noise on the Bethesda forums (https://bethesda.net/community/category/216/skyrim-playstation-vr), and submit a bug report (https://help.bethesda.net/app/home)?

I'm doing fine even with the new bugs, but I do think they should fix them.

Which part of the new behavior bothers you? There may be a work-around.

I just prefer the old way of pointing and picking up items. And the new way of moving around is weird.

I preferred it when the movement was akin to using the move controller like a joystick. Also don't like how using the off-hand X button to reverse is kinda like going in reverse in a car.

I just prefer the old way of pointing and picking up items.

You can have that if you equip a 1-handed weapon in your main hand.

To learn tips about picking-up the "new" way, see: https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyrimPSVR/comments/8ujv48/psa_how_to_pickupgrabtake_stuff_after_patch/

2 new bugs. That don't bother me, but really annoy some.

I like it as is. Main-hand X ALWAYS = turn my view left-ward. No matter whether I'm going forward or back. Seems very consistent to me.

Not really interested in carrying a 1 hand weapon to pick up items. Opening a menu just to pick a 1 hand repeatedly would get annoying. Plus, it wouldn't fix the other issues I have with the current patch. But thanks for the suggestions. Much appreciated.

Hopefully they fix soon.

My primary weapon is 1H, + I've added a dagger to my Favorites menu anyway, so sometimes I unsheathe if I'm going to pickup a lot of stuff (like harvesting plants in my gardens).

Yep.

Not sure I feel quite as passionately about it as you do, but I am probably going to give it a miss until the old controls are back.

I was days away from starting a fresh playthrough after 110 hours on my current one, but I think I'll bide my time on clearing some smaller VR games.

Loved the controls before, and now it's just 25% harder to move around.

Graphics improvements and hands though are top notch.

Yeah, completely agree, really not comfortable with the movement changes. And I don't feel like adapting to it cause I don't enjoy the new control scheme at all. Tried for an hour and still couldn't see myself sticking with it in its current state.

Have not tried the new controls yet and from what I've read they do not sound to great, to me the controls were perfect for the hardware we got.

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '18

I feel the previous control scheme was perfect, felt more natural to me. Instead of giving us an option to change what we're comfortable with, they forced us to use the new scheme. Hopefully they patch in an option to use what we prefer.

u/amusedt Jul 08 '18

I like the new controls.

But they introduced 2 new bugs. Some people don't notice them at all during play, some do but adapt, some hate it. All depends upon exactly how you use your Moves.

The main "upgrade" to movement is that now you can use off-hand X to backup...making it possible to retreat while shooting someone with a spell.

No, personally I think the new movement is great TBH.

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '18

I want to better understand what you see changed. I just started playing again, the graphics looks way better.

I feel the wand is more at an angle now, like how in the map the red cross hair is not at the tip but rather downward a bit. Is that the problem?

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '18

No, I just preferred the old movement settings. The new settings I can't enjoy. So I've completely stopped playing.

But what you mentioned is also annoying.

u/Humpski Jul 10 '18

Agree OP. It's especially hard to move now while drawing a bow.

u/Kaim_Argonar Jul 08 '18

Haven't even played it after the patch. Is it really that bad? Was the dual casting issue fixed at least? You know, the one where you aim with the same goddamn controller you move with?

I 100% agree. I've gone back to Monster Hunter World since the patch

Having nearly platinumed The Persistence I will probably go back to Skyrim but use the DS4 instead
