No. What happens is that most of my screens are taken in paused mode and the world is darker/blacker when paused (for instance that skeleton I am fighting usually has bright red eyes and most other external light-sources are dimmed as well). Trust me this game is very nice and vibrant, otherwise I would not enjoy it, although that area WAS darker than the rest. That area also has a got a sort of late afternoon/setting sun effect going on so some areas are very bright being completely bathed in sunlight whilst others are completely engulfed in shadow and murkiness. Crypts of course are not really meant to have any light sources and the realists who play Oblivion would probably be having a fit that they are too bright although there's usually magically a torch burning somewhere in the place XD
Although I must say that the screenshots also lose a little of their luster compared to how they look on my screen.
Another thing I like about the game that I have not really managed to show in any of my screens is there's almost always something moving on the screen other than you, bats, other people (lots of those) the main city feels VERY alive, enemies, dandelion spores, birds, little fly like things, chickens and/or other farm animals, running water, puffs of wind which blow the dirt and leaves up all around you, little balls of light attracted to the crystals in caves, a flickering torch or two so the world feels more alive than in some other RPGs.
