Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Can somebody briefly explain to me how lightly obscured and fully obscured are different when hiding

So you get the icon light, half and half, dark, if you are hidden. But how do you know what light conditions you are in when you are not hidden? There are a lot of items that provide bonuses when obscured...does that imply that you are never obscured unless you are hidden in half dark or full dark?
