So I have just got this yesterday, having played about an hour, at this point I'm going to say I really regret spending that £300 on it.

I've tried all the adjustments, and the resolution just looks terrible to me, I can barely read the writing, and I had an eye test just 2 months ago and the optician said my eyesight is perfect.. So either I'm doing something wrong, my headset is broken or you are all raving about ps2 style graphics.

Honestly it looks worse than the original release on the Xbox 360..

The move Controls are clunky, although I'm sure with time I would get used to them, however the head tracking seems permanently out, I'm pressing the move button and it's advancing me 45degrees to my left, constantly.

The fact you can't walk backwards seems a major flaw and obstacle in this game, and for half the time I've been playing so far, one of my weapons (dual wielding) has been floating 2 meters in front of me (although handy for hitting people running towards you, it destroys immersion)

Perhaps there's something im doing wrong (completely open to that possibility given I'm a VR newb) maybe my headset doesn't work (brand new, in a box with sticky clear disc seals attached, and all packaging correct, twist tied wires in individual plastic etc) or I just don't suit VR.

I have never in my life been motion sick before, but the tracking issue (running at an angle to fov) seems to be giving me it!

Just one thing that might be too obvious. The headsets sold outside the US had a protective piece of plastic on the lenses for shipping. You sure you're not trying to look through that :)

Perhaps play the demo of job simulator first to make sure everything is working properly. Skyrim in VR does look like a last gen game, you can't really expect much better having to render two high fov 60fps views instead of one narrow 30fps view. It looks better than the ps3 version, much more vegetation. After a while you get used to the lower resolution, give it a bit more than an hour. It took me 5 to 10 to get comfortable running around and navigating the menus with the move.

And you move in the direction the left move is pointing at. So if that's one is not working properly, you can't move properly either. You should be able to walk backwards by pointing the move backwards.
