The Best Settings to Reduce Motion Sickness in Avowed

-----------------------------------------------------

In most first-person games, motion sickness often stems from head movement, field of view, and motion blur. Avowed is no exception. Let's tackle those settings first.

How to Remove Head Movement and Camera Shake

Let's start by minimizing head movement and camera shake. These are often major culprits. Navigate to the Settings menu, then the "Game" tab. Scroll down to the "Camera" section and adjust these settings:

• Third-Person View: Off or on – your preference.
• Head Bobbing: Off
• Head Bobbing Strength: 0%
• Local Camera Shake Strength: 0%
• World Camera Shake Strength: 0%
• Camera Sway Strength: 0%
• Animated Camera Strength: 0%

For most players, these adjustments significantly reduce motion sickness. Experiment slightly to find the optimal balance between immersion and comfort.

How to Fix the Field of View and Motion Blur

If eliminating head bobbing and camera shake isn't enough, let's tweak the field of view and motion blur. Go to Settings, then the "Graphics" tab. At the top, you'll find sliders for these:

• Field of View: Start with a lower field of view and gradually increase it until you find a comfortable setting. This might require some experimentation.
• Motion Blur: Reducing or completely disabling motion blur often helps alleviate motion sickness. Try setting it to zero and adjust as needed.

What If You’re Still Feeling Motion Sick?

If you're still experiencing motion sickness, continue adjusting the settings mentioned above. Consider switching between first-person and third-person view as needed. If all else fails, don't force it! Take a break, drink some water, and try again later. Your well-being is more important than finishing a quest.

And there you have it! Our recommendations for minimizing motion sickness in Avowed. Happy gaming (and nausea-free gaming!).
