If it came naturally to them, wouldn't their eyes more than likely adjust to the light or dark independently of their personal control over it? I'd sure has hell prefer that.

I'd like night time to be darker. It'd be a great addition to the game, and I'm sure they could work it in somehow.

Even if it's a toggle power for Khajiits, the other 90% of the people will need to hold Night Eye. In the Demo, Todd had to equip and hold for Detect Life so holding Night Eye is very likely.

And both detect life and night eye are really small effects that aren't worth wasting your hands on. Unless the night is so dark you can't move without it of course. Then it sux to be you dual wield assassin.

I think it just depends on the surroundings. I mean, if your in a wide open tundra, like where the giant was picked up by the dragon in the demo (I cant remember the nearby city's name... Whiterun i think?), its going to be probually easy to see without a torch, I mean, theres two moons right above you! (unless its cloudy or whatnot). But I do agree, deep forests or various dungeons would contain SOOO much more atmosphere with a further lack of light :3

*Turns brightness slider all the way down* Problem solved. :wink_smile:

Yeah that's already been said like 3 times. How is that going to work in the day also?

Disagree, but thats just my $0.02... Most games have a brightness slider.. there ya go

edit: just notived alot of people said the same thing. awk.

and to the person above ^^^ turn it back up during the day

*slides brightness slider back up*

edit: ah now I see alot of people did say that, guess I should've read more before posting haha.

nvm

Wouldn't that be annoying? What if you enter/exit a cave every 5 minutes? Unless you invent some sort of automatic slider I can't see that working/many people doing that.

if your brightness is down on game settings it looks like actual night its all dark..(talkin about oblvion)

Yes, sounds good. ALthough I do love those cool clear nights in Cyrodiil... ahh..

the problem with that is that the AI isn't effected any more or less by that. He wants a more realistic nighttime experience. If it is more difficult for your character to see it should be more difficult for the AI.

Please stop giving these "turn the brightness down" answers resposnes, they are obviously trolls. You might as well just close your eyes if you want the best darkness effects right? Herple derple purple nurple.

Some Arma2 footage, one of few games that manage to get it right:
No moon at all, pitch black: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzAaXx22e7M
PvP deathmatch with no moon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4fHYBbL2JA
With moon, very immersive (they even whisper ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nF2HOE8cxs

But for true dark nights to work properly, time has to be slowed down significantly.

it's nice to have darker nights , but not so dark that you can't see anything . :hugs:

to bad skyrim will have light nights I saw an review from a guy at eurogamer or something, he said " Night navigation was not a problem, as I could still explore pretty easily

night time in skyrim better be good,in oblivion during night time the town is as dead and the scenery is not really good

I agree. Darker Nights (and Dungeons) mod is one of the mods I can't play Oblivion without anymore.

I think the only reason why developers don't make too dark areas is because it could be frustrating to try to navigate if you don't carry a light source with you. In darkness in real life you use touch to navigate, and you feel when you move even though you can't see. In games there'd have to be touch/hit and movement markers on screen to tell the player that he just walked against a wall and is no longer moving...
