Which areas do you think are just too dark?
-
One of the problems we've been having is that we built so many beautiful areas but the ilumination on them sucks - Twisted Maze, Eastern Wildlands at evening, for example.
Please, use this topic to highlight all areas that are too dark so we can evaluate a possible change to those.
-
I would definitely agree with eastern wildlands. I think starwater might have a similar problem. I can think of a few quest areas too, such as tyches crypt and the meat quest. Even sometimes the sewers can be problematic. I tend to play with my gamma near max setting to avoid issues.
-
I thought it was flavour, so that you couldn't see them ankheg holes at night? In that case I'd say some of the old map areas of Underdark could use a few light here and there.
-
Flavour is good, but we are trying to avoid irritation. It shouldn't be so dark that you need to start tweaking gamma just to function.
-
…Torches? Keep them dark, in my opinion. There is little enough reason to use torches as it is. I like it when I get to bust one out and it's actually helpful somehow.

Does Darkvision feat improve this ? I seen many loots that have this feat
-
Darkvision does not improve this at all. Certain tilesets are just pitch black.
-
midnight snack is one for sure
the UD needs to be dimmed abit in places where it is daylight bright
-
Maybe people can start investing in permanent light items or having ways to produce light. I know some torches just are not worth even holding, but others are fairly bright too. Just curious how many people just plow around without a light source?
Having said that, yeah some areas are just too dark. Outdoors areas are rarely pitch black unless you have a heavy canopy of trees. Though underground areas should be dark unless there is a nearby entrance to the surface.

Gorge seemed fine with darkvision.
-
Midnight snack is suppose to be bitch black.
Gorge should be fine with darkvision. Its not set to pitch black.
Part of the issue with areas that are too dark and where darkvision doesn't seem to help is the Fog settings. They should be rolled back much further in most areas.

Cave beneath the Night Wolf is pitch black.
