Too much glow

[Gramul]

I finally found a night where the weather was clear, but the glow was still there. Not sure why SE decided to add an obnoxious glow that looks terrible.

I agree it's hideous, but it can be turned off at least. You may have taken that picture in a time where your graphics settings where different.
Just go to System>System Configuration>Graphics Settings. Scroll down to Effects and select Glare>Off.
Looks SO much better.

It's a shame really. Bloom, glow, and brightness effects where so much nicer in 1.0 and it's one of the things I miss most. Next to the detail and old Coerthas.
