Maybe video games have more casuals who just feel thats more a pain than it is worth? I have found mods in the games like Oblivion and Skyrim to make dungeons darker where light sources are a must. I know this isn't what the thread meant by darker tone:)


Man, I could not agree more. I just don't get it ... at all .. ever.
