In an adventurous twist, a Skyrim VR streamer known as GingasVR has taken virtual reality to the next level by incorporating a haptic suit designed to simulate the sensation of pain. The streamer, already known for a highly immersive $15,000 Skyrim setup including mods for enhanced physics and body tracking, has now added the 'OWO suit' which delivers actual electric shocks in response to in-game damage. GingasVR demonstrated in a video the suit's effect, most notably when facing a dragon, showcasing the real-life pain the streamer endures for an authentic gaming experience. This extreme immersion in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR certainly prepares fans for the virtual realms while anticipating the forthcoming The Elder Scrolls 6.
