I agree that they are easier to see if you are still in full colour. If you are having a bad run and there are already lots of adds out, they can be near impossible to see on a grayed out screen.

Lol they are bright white

And that - in my opinion - is the problem. On a screen that has gone completely grayscale, they bleed into the background too much.

I have 20/15 vision in both eyes (thanks to the modern miracle we call lasers ) and I find it very hard to pick them out.

If I had my way about it, I would turn them black. The contrast would be much better, not to mention it would fit the lore better since they ARE portals to Oblivion.

They are supposed to be that way. It's part of the difficulty. In fact you don't even need to see them very well to destroy them because some abilities will auto-lock them when you are in range. I just run around spamming light attacks and poison arrow from bow in the general direction of a probable spawn and they go down at the first hit or poison tick. Light attacks and crushing shock/force pulse from destruction staff would accomplish the same results - with 2/2 destruction expert you may actually gain more magicka than you consume destroying them since there is a high probability they go down in 1 hit. Don't waste expensive spells/abilities on them because they have ~7-8K health.

You only get pinion and portals:
- if you grab the pinion after you get the portals
- if you are the only one left alive

Enable all health bars in your settings, the portals will have health bars even at full health.

Makes them 10x easier to see.
