📋 About This Mod
My take on a lighting overhaul using "Visual Overhaul". "Visual Overhaul - Upgraded" and "Refined Graphics Overhaul" as base.
# YET ANOTHER LIGHTING OVERHAUL
Merged and edited files from Refined Graphics Overhaul, Dark Souls Visual Overhaul and Visual Overhaul - UPGRADED.
I love the ideas presented in all these mods but they didn't quite hit the mark for me.
One of my main goals was actually something similar to Blueford's approach of disabling the player lantern, though in my case I wanted to keep the lantern while making it far weaker since it's almost required at Manus and Tomb of Giants, and I'm really happy with how it turned out in the Tomb of Giant in particular.
So this is my attempt at making the game look just the way I want... it's not perfect, there are bugs and some areas might benefit from being brightened just a tiny little bit, but I'm all burned out just reaching this far.
Screenshots were taken at Brightness level 7, no reshade applied and show some of the rough edges, bad spots from the mod as well.
