Light, no light represenation in the module

[Oaks]

There's a workshop item (reposting https://neverwintervault.org/project/nw ... on-changes from the nwn vault) that makes areas look darker for characters without darkvision.

Is that something we can or even want to introduce to Arelith?

[Good Character]

Thematically cool, because it would make Andunor and the satellite areas really stand out. Though... I think we would end up screwing people out of 6 AC due to no shield, unless there was a common way to access ultravision (or darkvision, somehow).

tbf EE's lighting has nothing to do with the above mentioned workshop item, except that, under different premises (EE lighting being a general design feature that makes everything look darker / more constrasted for everyone; the workshop item corresponding with the module, characters and their feats), your screen is darker.

And this is why I jack up my gamma.

The topic of lighting has been raised in the past and the Dev's themselves, if I recall correctly, raised the issue of players just altering their own gamma for personal ease / tactical advantage.

Roleplaying response to what would be bad lighting is a slightly different matter. I am an ardent roleplay-supporter of the idea that humans and other races with no ultravision / nightvision should carry torches when dungeon-delving.

I started doing this on a previous Persistent World. It got me noticed by DM's who gave me XP awards...

(I am awaiting the Suggestion Board re-opening so we can seek getting a working Lantern addition to the HAK.)

[hmm]

I love having to carry a torch. It helps me to roleplay more, and i love roleplay.

Easy solution, install an override that makes everything darker if you want to instead of forcing everyone who doesn't to turn up their gamma.
