Is this too dark?

In all my years of playing in ALFA I've seldom been in a "dungeon". I'm working on some underground areas at the moment and wondered whether y'all think that players will complain about it being this dark. The old reality vs playability question. Same camera positions, with and without torches;

Love it. Don't change it. Makes infravision worth having, plus makes that torch in your kit mean something.

It's great like that - makes the shadows very scary! What settings did you use exactly? I'd love to kow.

The settings are easy: Turn Everything Off!
Has Day/Night Settings: False
Has Directional Light: False
Sky Light Intensity = 0
Ground Light Intensity = 0
Fog set to black and starting at 200 metres

Torches
Effect distance = 3
Intensity = 2
Cast shadows = False

You would expect that to be pitch black, but I think PCs/DMs have a default visual effect applied to them that gives some illumination whatever the settings.

Are you guys happy with what the lighting settings do, BTW? I spent quite a long time experimenting with them and could put together a little tutorial if that would be helpful?

That would be splendid, Teric.
