I would not recommend it in its current form. And even HD Rift is still not good enough. I hope for 1440p Rift once it hits the consumer market. There are suitable displays for phones in the 5-6 inch range on their way with that resolution and the rift would massively profit from that.
They have also reduced the lag to astounding 20ms and less in several prototypes. Which will help alot in reducing nausea same with positional tracking which will help alot to cure the disconnect between your senses.
Skyrim is not optimized for the Rift and its visible all the proportions are off you move too fast etc etc. Its undeniable that its an inferior VR experience right now still impressive but 5 hour sessions are too much.
But the potential of a consumer rift combined with optimized software is sky high and lets any 3D technology look like a joke in comparison.
Edit: On the tiring issue your eyes will not tire as they are in a relaxed natural state focused on infinity while using the rift. The problem with the rift is the nausea and the resolution not the eye strain.
