Ok, I know this is a really out there and weird question, so I apologize if I am putting it in the wrong place. I am expecting a little one and have been suffering a bit from morning sickness as a result and it tends to get a little worse while playing. I'm struggling to stay logged in long and when I am online I spend more time chatting to avoid sudden movements on screen.

I really want to be able to enjoy my time in ESO, and while I love love love the graphics and smoothness of the game play on my non gaming laptop I think perhaps even turning graphics down would help. I am putting this in CS, since I know little of game play settings and hope someone from ZOS or even my fellow players have a suggestion, so I can both enjoy the graphics and sit at the screen longer.

SeaBands, PsiBands aka motion sickness acupressure bracelets do help, but they also get in the way of actually typing and using the mouse. I don't know that I can comfortably wear them for long periods while online. Although I am open to any suggestions anyone has.

    Sorry I took so long to reply back, I swear I am spending less and less time at my computer. I'll look into those glasses, never heard of them but I will do some research on it.

    Also, I think first person is definitely out for the time being!

    I don't suppose anyone from ZOS has a recommendation on camera speed? I have been playing around with it a bit and I can not seem to find a setting between so fast I get dizzy and so slow it makes playing impossible.

    Damn, what a pain. Bumping in case it helps get an official response. I hope you can improve or fix it soon, that's a horrible way to feel (but I guess baboo in a few months' time, eh? :D )
    If at first you don't succeed, keep trying. And again. Eat a cookie, read a wiki, I dunno, just try to relax, the frustration will only give you a headache.

    I get what I think people call "motion-sickness" (I say "I think" cos I don't actually get motion sickness from cars, ships or planes) from fps games, but it does seem to be pretty random and inconsistent. Like I was okay with old school Counter Strike, but old school Quake was unplayable for me.

    I can't play Skyrim or ESO on fps either and even 3rd person isn't perfect. But I find a lot depends on what I'm doing. Dungeon crawling and confined spaces causes dizziness, wandering the outdoors is fine.

    Thankfully ESO is mostly outdoors, and I have no problems if I just remember to take an occasional break.

    I hope you can find a way to overcome the nausea. Congrats on ur baby, of course. :)
