How do you make an interior dark?

Totally dark so that the PC's can't see without torches?

Open the Area, right click on the Area name from the list of areas and pick Area Properties. Uncheck Has Directional Light (set to False).

has the torch not giving off any light bug been fixed first? :D

Good idea this. More totally dark caves?

Yep, but caves and crypts are still too light. You can see pretty good without a torch even after checking directional light to false. Anyway to make them even darker?

You may have Gamma turned up in your graphics settings - I know they're pretty dark for me. Is there a Darkness VFX? Would that override a torch, even?

You also need to turn down the Sky Light and Ground Light intensity. I use 0.1 for each.
