If disabling head bobbing and camera shake isn't enough, head to the Settings menu and click on the "Graphics" tab. At the top, under the basic settings, you'll find sliders for "Field of View" and "Motion Blur." Adjust these as follows:

Field of View: Start by lowering the "Field of View" slider. Gradually increase it to find the setting that's most comfortable for you. This might require some trial and error.
Motion Blur: Turning off "Motion Blur" or reducing it to a minimum can be very effective. Begin at zero and adjust as needed.

What If You’re Still Feeling Motion Sick?

If you're still feeling motion sick, continue experimenting with the settings. You might also try switching between first-person and third-person views as needed. However, if nothing seems to work, don't force yourself to play through the discomfort. Take a break, hydrate, and try again later.

These are our top recommendations for the best settings to reduce motion sickness in *Avowed*. By adjusting these settings, you should be able to enjoy the game without the unpleasant side effects.
