This is the second character I’ve completed the personal story quest “Accusation” on. The first was stuck outside the fort for the bandit attack, and forced to fight a large group of bandits alone, then go over and fight more to stop the mortar attack.
My second character made it into the fort before the gates were closed — though they broke the gates down anyway, so I still got to fight them (at least this time I had help).
A Lionguard NPC instructed me to use the cannon to disable the mortar attack. As soon as I approached the cannon and pressed F, my camera went into jerky, stuttering spasms. It was nearly impossible to aim the cannon accurately.
As soon as I pressed F to leave the cannon interface, camera went back to normal. I tried this several times (while under bombardment from mortars) and no matter where I stood, the camera was extremely difficult to work with.
My suspicion is that the player camera gets lodged inside the wall once the cannon is used, given the location of the cannon on top of the wall. If the camera issues are difficult to easily correct, I would guess that a small platform to allow the cannon to sit on a normal flat surface (rather than in the wall as it is now) would still permit firing without wall interference. Though of course this is all guesswork on my part.
Short version: Camera super wonky when cannon used, was eventually able to finish, but please to be fixing yay.
