Is this normal?

This is during the Mind Game mission. Is the game supposed to be this dark or could my tv be dying?

    turn up the brightness in the options. mind games is a little dark but not usually that dark.

    It is a very dark map, the consoles and Borg bits are the only real lighting on most of it. That said, I'd take a look at your brightness calibration if you haven't already, it does look far darker than I remember it there.

    On console, with the new lighting changes, that map has become overly dark, and very hard to navigate around. If you still have a torch on you from one of the previous missions, you could use that.

    The idea they had with that map is that his ship is supposed to be a Romulan Warbird with Borg technology.

    I actually turned up the brightness on my TV to do that mission, then turned it back down afterwards!

    Something is wrong. I have done mission on some extremely dark maps and those were not the one s where you get a light like old Drozana. The last one was Abducted from the Romulan story line. I don't think it is right to turn up or down the brightness of your computer screen. It was never neccessary to do that for this game and I never had to do it for any game.

    BTW, I played that mission in the blind. Again, I suppose it isn't meant to be played that way. Good job Cryptic, make something, break something.

    it must be Slamek somewhere near, so it must not be so bright.

    So i guess that they done it darker, probably will be fixed at some point and then he again will complain thats too bright here :)

    There's nothing wrong with a dark map, adds atmosphere. You can always use your flashlight if you haven't disposed of it!

    Slamek probably got a hold of the lighting controls.

    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    I just did that mission about 30 minutes ago and it wasn't that dark in that room.

    It's the console lighting system. IIRC they haven't worked out all the kinks yet, so some places are either overly bright or overly dark.
    Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.p3OEBPD6HU3QI.jpg

    Poor old Slamek. Someone needs to put him out of his misery.
