Option to turn off Head bobbing? also lock equipment.

Post » Sun Nov 29, 2015 12:04 pm

I got motion sickness for around 15 mins, I felt so dizzy after a hour play and have to sleep 3 hours to recover from it. is there a way to patch it and give us an option to turn it off. I love fallout series but this game is getting me really sick atm.

also another option I want is to lock equipment, like when you at workbench when u salvage a lot items, the lock item won't be salvaged unless unlock it, I been destorying my guns quite few times after 15hour play (ya only 15 hr since release because the motion sickness!)

no and no.

For the gear, just be careful, it DOES ask you if you want to scrap items

Yeah, head bobbing does need to be reduced or disabled. You'd think gamesas would have worked out that that's not how human vision works by now.

No video game head/camera movement will be like how human vision works. When you're moving normally, you're in a controlled cycle of lifting up and falling, while your vision is typically focused on something in the distance. So as your head moves around, your neck muscles and eyes automatically work to keep you focused on that relatively distant point, which reduces the perceived "bobbing". But even though it's reduced, it is also not a smooth glide as previous titles would have it.

The thing is, head-bobbing is there to simulate the tactile sensation of walking/running. Unless you're purposely and carefully walking with the intent of reducing the impact (which typically means you're moving slower and focusing on it), your body will feel the shock of your feet hitting and pushing away from the ground, and your neck and eyes will move to keep you focused on what you're looking at. You will feel the changing effects of gravity throughout a walk/run run cycle in real-life, but video games can't directly provide all that, and when it's missing it can feel odd (i.e. the sensation of floating or gliding for movement). Head-bobbing is a stylistic choice that attempts to convey those missing sensations.

That said, it's of course it's an entirely reasonable complaint that some people may get motion sickness from it while others don't. Just as some people get motion sickness with a low FOV while others don't. An option to cater to the player's needs or wishes won't hurt.

lock equipment for NPCs would be so great.
