I’ve seen your comments (mainly on Reddit) saying that the original 2017 Vanilla Skyrim VR is better than the modded versions. Today, I’m putting that to the test.
I spent some time back in the world of 2017, and honestly? It’s worse than I remembered. In this video, I’m breaking down the flat lighting, the low-res textures, and the clunky combat that we used to accept as "normal."
Then, we’re stepping back into the Mad God Overhaul (MGO) to show you why I simply can't go back. Stick around after the outro for a side-by-side comparison that speaks for itself—no talking, just the pure visual evolution.
What do you think? Is there ANY part of the vanilla game you actually miss? Let’s talk in the comments!
Chapters:
