Nighttime - bugged, or is being so dark that it's nearly unplayable intended??

Seriously, is it bugged or intentional? It gets to nighttime, and visibility drops so low that it's nearly unplayable.

    I had the same problem. The (?) solution was to modify my graphics settings from high to low. That is counter productive. I have a high quality graphics card and I want to use it to it's fullest extend. Setting the quality to low to help eliminate the darkness sucks.I'm hoping Intrepid does something about this but at least I can play now.

    My settings are at medium, switched to low, but there wasn't a meaningful difference.

    The issue seems to be more of a problem with drastically differing light levels based on location and camera angle.

    Standing outside of Miraleth, for example, a bit outside the north gate, the lighting at night seems reasonable, a bit darker than daytime, but still can see around quite easily. But then, move inside Miraleth, and the light level drops around 50% darker, move east of Miraleth, and it stays that dark, even darker in some spots, nearly to the point that it's unplayable, you just can barely make out what is on the screen. Move back over to outside the north gate of Miraleth, and BOOM - gets significantly brighter once again, easy to see around.

    Another super dark area is the land to the west of the northern part of Carphin, between Carphin and the river. It is extremely dark there every night, again almost unplayable.
