Base Skyrim VR feels like another quick and dirty "it just works" job from Bethesda, and is not that amazing.
Modded Skyrim VR though is pretty great. With some mods, instead of just being a floating weapon, you get a body that can physically interact with stuff, you can take weapons from holsters, have other move-based real-time shortcuts that greatly reduce your need to go through menus, you can throw your weapons, etc.
And some level of graphical update definitely helps too, especially plant replacers IMO. The very basic Bethesda models look terrible when they're literally in your face.
Regarding motion sickness, I personally don't feel any even in smooth movement and after long sessions, but that might not be for everyone. Like many open VR games there is a teleport movement style where you can just skip to a target. Skyrim is kind of a slow game, though, so even smooth doesn't feel terrible. Probably best keeping fixed-angle rotation though.
Thanks for taking the time to answer! Sounds really cool to be honest.
If only Morrowind could work in VR.
