After some searching, I've seen this issue pop up time and again, with still no official response or solution. Please have the ability to disable screenshake. Before people pipe in with the usual response - I am NOT talking about HEAD BOB, THIS IS DIFFERENT. It effects the game in 3rd person, which head bob has no effect on.

For people like myself it makes us lightheaded, can trigger migraines and even induce nausea. I know it sounds crazy to those who don't suffer from it, but it's extremely frustrating for those of us who enjoy video games and simply disabling camera shake prevents it from happening. I just finished a dungeon and halfway through had to pause to see if I could turn off the screenshake because I was getting lightheaded and could feel a headache coming on. I think my group had more shaking abilities than the group I rolled with in the past, plus the dungeon had it as well. I straight up avoid Dolmens.

Please devs, your game makes me feel sick. This isn't just some nitpick or cosmetic preference, please add a screenshake toggle.

    Options are always better than having no options - it doesn't make me feel unwell or anything, but I do find it annoying sometimes. Letting people choose whether to have it enabled or disabled would suit everyone!

    I personally don't find any issue with screenshake, but I imagine it's similiar to that whole FOV change when you go to sprint and such - which thankfully you can turn off. Sounds like screenshake should also be optional, I can't see there being any reason to force it upon everyone.

    I heartily agree. I ended up having to stop healing on my Templar due to the world constantly going up and down every time I cast Healing Springs. After a while of just sticking to DPS roles because I found tanking too annoying, I lost most of my interest in the game and haven’t played with any consistency in over a year.

    I agree, i hate the screen shake since it makes me nauseated. I end up eating ginger but i'd rather not.
