The programmer responsible for this said he wants to implement such an option (and a few who commented were in agreement), though isn't sure if it would be in by Early Access.

Thank you very much for asking the devs and forwarding their reply! Well thats good news, but sad to hear that this will be implemented later :-/ Hopefully they won't forget it.

ps.
Thanks also to the developers of course for doing this! Looking forward to see a great game worthy the name Baldurs Gate.

It's surprising how different people can be affected by disorienting camera techniques and flashing presentation. As children, most tend to be quite relaxed about visual anomalies, but not so much as you get older. I don't generally have problems with shake effects or with flashing/blinking ( other than they are almost always overblown and not necessarily helpful ), but I find first-person cameras that emulate tracking your head movement as you climb over obstacles really disconcerting to the point of feeling ill.

Fortunately for me, that sort of camera is not likely in BG3, but I certainly understand why the OP would want the option to not use a visual that negatively affects them. I'm also pretty sure Larian neither want nor intend to harm their players in any way.

My main thing is motion-sickness, which I would also get really horribly as a child. Perhaps surprising given my driving which is... well, not relaxed, let's say. Flashing sets off my migraines too, which I try to convince myself I don't have as there're no anti-migraine drugs I've tried that I find agreeable, which seems like an older age thing but a lot of stuff either starts or stops being a thing as one's hormone levels change over the course of one's life. The motion-sickness may also be migraine-related anyway as I get the type where my awareness of perspective goes all wonky.

I've seen one really bad effect in the gameplay presentation ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9hU6UJX_pc starting around 59:15 ). I'm not sensitive to flickering effects in general, but this really made me look away. I hope this is the only effect that's extremely flickering.

I guess this can easly cause a seizure :-/


I asked myself why these firebolts even have to flicker....
