[ Graphical Update Feedback ] Examples of Darker Skinned Characters/Darker Lighting

[Turtledeluxe]

They actually do have the Character Lighting setting, but even with that at max, it can be very hard to see darker skinned characters, and this is a failing of SE's testing and review phases of development. They need to be looking at both light and dark skinned characters as they're working on this next stage of the graphical update, and they need to test their cutscenes with darker skinned characters (and even just non-white/pale characters - there are red and green and blue characters too!) before go-live.

And maybe they should consider adding artificial lighting in cutscenes. A toggle in character settings maybe, so darker characters can actually be seen and paler characters don't get washed out horribly.

But the point is that all of the previews we've seen for the 7.0 graphical update have been pale characters, and SE really needs to show us some darker skinned characters so we can give timely feedback.

Edited to add that Character Lighting settings don't actually impact the cutscenes (at least viewed through the Unending Journey) - which means the control given to us to help us adjust for our own characters is also useless for the important parts. That would also be a nice fix, though tangential to the need to see darker characters in these previews.

I actually never knew this. So the screenshot in the original post is character lighting set at 30?

Only asking because such a setting seems useless. They don't look lit at all.

Or I guess if she lowered it to exemplify cutscenes then yes, it needs to be added to cutscenes. I'm not sure it should go too high in cutscenes because it could create a very superficial image (as in Horizon) where the character is glowing compared to everyone else. Maybe they should add a separate slider for cutscenes.
