    I've never minded the night phases in other games, and it's not like I require sunshine all the time. But yeah, I'm still not a fan of the dark in this game as I feel it's just a bit too..much.

    Bonus (no joke, this is right now..)

    (night + rain ...in case it's hard to see)
    That doesn't even look dark to me. It looks like an overcast afternoon haha.

    Do you have sweetfx or any post processing running? Maybe your monitor isn't calibrated right.

    It wasn't dead of night in the first shot - it's now only 10pm in game. But yeah, I do use stormshade + various filters depending on what I'm looking for.

    I'm still not a fan of the night...which I am allowed to just not enjoy

    Well, the thing is, those increase the amount of light or dark. So for you it may be a big mess of black, but for most it just looks slightly dark. Most nights in this game are incredibly bright.

    One reason I stopped using post processing was because of the oversaruration it does to all scenes. Dark becomes black, and light becomes blindingly so

    I will normally turn off stormshade at night if I'm not taking pictures for that reason. I promise this isn't my first day playing this game or using filters.

    E: And sorry. This is coming off far snarkier than I intended (which really wasn't intended at all). I get some people are fine with the night as it, it's just not my thing in this game. No biggie. I really wasn't trying to detract from OP's topic. I had simply posted that picture because I found it quite amusing that I was just commenting on the OF about night + rain, and then I exited my instance into that exact scenario.

    Anyway, I still think a lantern could be cool D:

    That may be true but some might not realize it

    Im surprised daily by what people take for granted haha.

    There's also the brightness slider in options that may help.
