Shadows in game are too dark

[Crazychick7]

Hello,

The shadows in my game (environmental shadows, *not* shadow curse shadows) are too dark and after changing my settings multiple times I still can't seem to correct them.

If anyone else has had this problem and figured out how to correct it, please let me know =)

You are supposed to use a torch, or a light spell to be able to see dark shadowed areas. That is by design.

Everyone of my characters has perma-light of some sort, so not a problem from act 2. Confuses me why every darn BG3 youtube vid is so DARK when light is so easily accessible.

It is not the shadows, it is the lack of light as in real life (darkness). It is why you need torch, light spell or a race which can see in dark.

Even for the areas where the shadows are due to shade from the trees? I can understand the Underdark being, well, dark, but out in the sunlit areas?

For me the shadows are ok. How dark did you put the shadows in the preliminary settings? I did lighten up them little bit from the presets.

I tried that, ended up with really bright sunlight and slightly better shadows
