Why RuneScape: Dragonwilds can trigger motion sickness
Dragonwilds keeps the camera close to your character. Jagex added a camera deadzone in the 1.0 release so the camera follows you less tightly, and a toggle for the camera change during parry follow-up attacks. Screen shake in combat can be switched off.
- Screen shake during combat
- A camera that follows your character closely, which Jagex loosened with a deadzone in 1.0
- Camera movement during Visceral Attacks after a parry
