I can't forget about "how it's supposed to look"... Not to mention of course seeing how off all of the NPCs look now.

Also, it reminds me of my earlier post:
Like... I can understand the desire to soften the harsher lighting that we previously saw in cutscenes for the sake of clarity or whatever, but these examples plainly aren't doing that -- or they aren't only doing that anyway. The shadows weren't just softened, the characters have been illuminated. It's jarring, I would argue even without the side-by-side comparisons in some cases. Turn the dimmer down even a little bit lol.

But where I can at least understand the intent behind the above tweaks (I still agree they way over-corrected, rest assured), I don't think there's any good reason to apply this "fix" outside of cutscenes, especially. It bears repeating, I would really love to see further adjustments, across the board.
