Yeah. I loved SHB all in all but one of my disappointments was that being the 'warrior of darkness' didn't involve using the darkness to restore balance....instead we just suck up all the light juice into ourselves. I didn't want or expect us to side with the Ascians or turn evil, but actually using the darkness, and not our blessing of light, to fight against the overabundant light and restore balance would have been more interesting.
