So I managed to grab some interesting screenshots which show the inconsistency of the lighting and colors, as inconsistency was merely talked about before, but now can clearly be shown.

In this scene when the player enters the Blighted Village and is ambushed, all 3 angles belong to the exact same sunny scene yet all 3 are inconsistent in terms of lighting and color. First shot is almost as the colors should be, then the 2nd is incredibly bright and washed out, and the third is something in-between. Looks awfully inconsistent and not like something that they intended.

In this scene with Gale, lighting is so bright it blinded my character but then turned pitch black when it goes to Gale laugh

And here the lighting is coming from below my character in the first shot and then comes properly from the sky in the next.

Not really sure what they were trying to achieve with the lighting in this update, because it's so inconsistent and for the most part a huge quality drop in visuals, which is strange because the patch notes mentioned it was supposed to make things look better... but so far it accomplished the exact opposite across the majority of the game. Whether it is a bug or a re-design that they will address eventually, we probably won't see any changes or improvements made to this until Patch 9.
