it's kinda like that but worse for me in NV. many areas of the terrain won't become illuminated unless hit from a specific angle. alot of clutter too. like paper on the ground. is this a vanilla problem? is there any kind of fix or a mod? thanks

That's a vanilla bug, been in the game since it was released. No mod fix AFAIK, but i mostly use night vision now.

Don't remember seeing that in 3, but apparently it was there too :shrug:

Oh? I never had the issue until much later...I thought it was because of a mod I installed, since it started occurring immediately after I'd installed mods that made the nights darker.

But possible a later patch "gave" it to me even if I didn't have it originally & I just never noticed. Twould be typical for my game...

Its a gamebryo lighting glitch, I don't remember it being in Fallout 3 though.

yeah, if it was in FO3, it didn't happen often because i don't remember it. i only used that video to show the effect that i meant
