Nights are extremely bright ?

[Nanian]

So I just started playing - I honostly don't recall nights being this bright in the old version o.O

The torch doesnt even seem to have an effect at all on here - in any sense even.

Or is this just me thinking this ?

I noticed that too. I turned down my brightness to see if that makes any difference.
Something tells me the gamma settings for night are a little too high.

I just found one of my old screenshots - there's actually quite a large difference.

Nothing a future mod can't fix. I personally like it.

They have always been like this haven't they?

I tried a mod once that was supposed to make night time super dark and forced you to use lights, unfortunately something broke and I had to re-install Skyrim at the time, but point is we might need a mod to fix this.

Tone down in-game brightness and wait for a mod to fix it.

I suppose turning down the ingame brightness might fix it, but daytime would be really scewed as well then no :/ ?

Yup so turn it up during day and turn it down during night, else you can simply keep down during both times of the day.

Tbh - Just find it really odd. I remember back then that I found skyrim really really bright as well, without actually needing torches, now it just seems like you dont need anything at all, lol..

That's still too bright. (just my opinion).
Nights should look like nights with only the lights from fires and torches making any illumination.
In which case, the two moons would provide a more realistic ambient environmental effect.
But for nights without any moons overhead, the stars of Aetherius should be brilliant still providing some faint illumination in places where there are no other light sources.
I think somebody borked this one.

I agree completely that its too bright - I was of the same mind back then, especially when I was thinking back to the days of oblivion being attacked by a troll in a very dark cave.. lol..

Imagine you're looking up into the night sky and suddenly a dark figure blots out the stars ...
that's .... scary especially if it's growling.

I had quite a few scare jumps back when oblivion came out because of those trolls >_>
