two questions:
- I often see the message "target is obscured by shadows" as reason for disadvantage, even for characters with darkvision (like Astarion in the underdark).
Just to be sure: The target of my attack must have light if I want to avoid a penalty.
It is not a problem if the attacker is in darkness and the target is in the light, right?
So in case of Astarion it simply means his crossbow range is bigger than his darkvision range and the target is in darkness, right?
- I remember that Solasta used a light/darkness system but they changed it later. Too bad I do not remember details. What did they do?
anyway, if there was no difference between darkvision or not, the whole light/darkness system would be pointless. Plus there are many sources of light in the game.
The game has many problems, but I do not think that darkvision is the biggest one.
I am not sure if it is related to darkness that enemies just stand there and do nothing when you shoot and hide all the time.
This is a problem that makes half of the fights pathetically easy.
