Baldur's Gate 3 holds up shockingly well in first person—so well, in fact, that Larian head Swen Vincke's been gobsmacked by his own game: 'Just look at it'
Even for a lot of games with strategic views, being able to hover above the battlefield or fly between your battle lines would be so cool - like the most immersive tabletop wargame possible.
That’s what I said about Skyrim. First person immersive world seemed perfect for VR.
It makes me violently motion sick, though, like to the point where I barely made it through the opening cart ride, and had to stop after 5 min of free movement. :(
Having textures race past, and feeling like you are in or barely above the ground due to the floor texture not having adjustable height to account for depth perception, while “moving” is super uncomfy, imho.
I’m super with you about wanting it, though. I’m desperate for VR to be immersive like that, and not vomit-inducing.
I feel really lucky to have practiced my VR legs for almost a decade that pretty much nothing makes me feel sick anymore. Maybe you could train on easier stuff at first?
I watched the YouTube video referenced in the article earlier today and it was truly amazing how well BG holds up as a first person game. It’s almost tragic that a FPV mode isn’t available by default - the world hits a ton harder from that view.
