The title says it all. I really enjoyed Act 1. I put 50 hours into that alone. Then comes the shadowlands. Really cool looking map. However this shadowcurse is just too much to be fun. It's not explained in game very well before you get their. So for players like myself who had no clue you need to invest into hording torches, or making sure everyone can cast light spells, it's just not very fun. The fact torches replace your weapons without an easy swap option during combat is the reason I only use characters that can see in the dark. It would make the game for explorer mode where you're basically just playing to enjoy the story, and being able to enjoy exploring the map more user friendly if there was an option in setting to disable the curse, that or remove it for explorer mode, and keep it for normal and harder modes. If this mechanic had been mentioned in the games description page on Steam I wouldn't have bought it, however I am beyond the threshold to get a refund now.
