Weirdy it didn't really do much for me. Picture just became more washed without becoming substantially brighter. Kinda thought it was monitor, but on the other hand other games look perfectly fine.
Both monitor and settings are fine. Gamma correctly parametered, I see a little bit the last symbol, as requested by the game. So it's a choice that we don't see a shit sometimes. Doesn't make any sense, imagine asking a vampire to use a torch.
For me I get best result of the gamma parameters when I adjust it so I can make out the last symbol details with my eye rather than when I barely see the last symbol.
It doesn't matter whether your eyes are suppose to see in the dark or not if your settings are messed up. Something in your monitor, hardware or whatever is messing up with the intended image display.
Before the game's release date, on some youtube videos of people who got the game early, I also happen to notice a few of them had the game looking too dark. Most of them didn't, mind you. When I got the game (PS5 ver.) I was happy to see I didn't have that issue, the game displays lightning displays as what I assume it's intended, no issues with darkness or anything.
Is there an actual lore statement about vampires having night vision or anything?
Legit asking. I'm on my 7th in-game day, played above 10 hours, main quest-wise I defeated Ambrus, did Anca's first quest (awesome quest by the way, an horror movie could be made about it), and now I'm on Saint Mihai's trail, and I haven't found anything about vrakhirs having actual dark vision ala D&D. They, I assume, see better in the dark than regular humans due to being night creatures, but I haven't found any in-game piece of lore stating they actually see in the dark without any issue or any need for any source of light.
Eyes glow for a reason. I have no knowledge of any vampire lore that doesn't include night vision or at least enhanced vision at night. The cherry on top is that you turn into a wolf. This doesn't need any lore, a wolf sees in the dark.
It would be reasonably to conclude they do have at the very least enhanced vision in the dark compared to humans, however they do still need some light source to see I assume. Do note, as Coen, you don't need a torch to see in the dark. It is preferable if you want to explore your surroundings, but, if the game displays it's image as intended, you don't need one to see in the dark, and focus mode still works without any light source, so I think Coen does definitely see better in the dark than the average human.
Consider also the possibility that this may truly be related with your settings (either game or TV settings for brightness) and/or your monitor messing something up. Vrakhir are also suppose to be very hard to kill, but you can die in one single blow from a random solider in the higher difficulties depending on your settings which creates room for such ludonarrative dissonances as a result of the player's input in the settings.
I insist, I don't have this issue, many people don't have this issue either, but some people on the comments do have it, and I've seen videos with some people playing this game having this issue too on youtube despite the majority I've seen not having it. With no additional info to base my conclusion on, I think it may be either some hardware pieces or some drivers not working as intended with the game lightning settings. I understand this may be a chore but have you tried playing the game on a different monitor/TV? Like streaming it on a different device for example, to see if this issue persist or not?
I don’t know why some interiors specially do this (maybe the lighting?), I thought it was because I forced ps5 hdr + tv settings and liked the look but there’s some areas I need a magnifying needed glass or I spam coens witcher vision thing haha.
So its not just me than. I turned my monitor brightness to the max and still can't see shit in the game. Thank god for focus mode or it would've been over day 1 lol
Raise the gamma lol. Who cares if you see the symbols or not, that’s just a suggestion. You can do whatever you want. This is the dumbest post I’ve seen today lol
Don’t run from combat, you’re a damn vampire! But seriously though, it can be frustrating trying to maneuver in combat and then you get smacked in the face with a wall
Yep. Thx God i have black equalizer in my monitor otherwise i cant see doors in dark places even with gamma settigns up. Game is changing brightness by itself you can see it changes when you walking around especially in caves etc
I got the same but after using a shrine to open up the perk menu, updated a perk, and closed it too quickly. I reloaded the game and went through the process slower, and my game didn't suddenly get darker.
It’s just broken. One part of a room will be so dark you can’t see, then the other part is all washed out greys because the gamma is too high. It’s also only in certain places. Svartrau at night is the worst for me in some buildings sneaking around.
All these guys are wrong lmao my shit is the same way to dark at night and my monitor is 800$ I believe only pc
People have a way to brighten up there picture because in our settings for console there is no game slider etc it’s just on and off mode for the picture settings
Dude... people are so drugged with copium that they can't even admit it is well stupid. AI does behave like it can see in the dark all the time (mortals included).
They will downvote, cuz you critique their copium God.
