[mild rant] Dark screenshots on Nexus

[rootsrat]

Why, oh why?! So many mod authors take their screenshots in either dark interiors or at night when using whatever dark night mods etc... WHY? What is the point in uploading a screen showing off your super duper million K resolution retexture of an armour, or new items, or new NPC/monsters, ANYTHING that must be visually appreciated to be convinced to download a mod, when a user can't see SH...UGAR in the image? 

 

I completely do not understand this and it drives me mad! 

 

There, feel better now.

I feel your pain and I totally agree

It's likely this is done to make their screenshots look more dramatic, but it really doesn't help it with screenshots that you really can't SEE anything in. Well, excluding the darker/relighting mods, but still.

Is it not normal for skyrim that screenshots are darker than in game brightness? I have experienced this with skyrims screenshot capability, steams, and SMAAs screenshot ability.

On the other hand, I have a pet peeve for ENB creators who don't show some dark shots. Like one at night, one domestic interior and one dungeon.

 

I don't mind if a dungeon is as black as the hobbs of hell, but when I can't navigate around Breezehome without a canlight spell, you have to wonder what is the point.
