There is night in ESO? All I see is a blueish filter.
That's a night right here:



or here

It might be worth bringing up light sensitivity as a quality of life issue. Something that seems obvious to those affected by it is easily overlooked by ZOS - just look at the issues with red boss effects on green dungeon background that people with colorblindness had to deal with and how long it took ZOS to realize it was a problem and add the color changes. But ZOS did make changes and so it might be worth bringing your problem up in the General Forum if you are willing.

Skyrim did indeed have better night mechanics, combined with the ability to wait for "hours" to skip to whatever time period you felt like. I understand why you can't "wait" in ESO, but it wouldn't be hard at all for Zenimax to give us some way to control what our screen looks like.

Quite a few online games use proper nights and it works well (e.g. Black desert online, Ark, Conan exiles). It can even benefit players. Here's a recipe for the best nights:

- make nights shorter
- make nights darker
- make some mobs stronger at night but give significantly better loot and exp (or for best effect just add some extra mobs for the night like werewolves, vampires etc, that would make the world feel so much more believable)
- add lanterns like the one below (cooler lanterns in crown store so ZOS can get their greed fix).
- add new skill effects for vampires and werewolves that makes them stronger at night, but weaker in the daytime (imagine the awesomeness in Cyrodill that it could produce)

I didn't want to make this thread about me or my "disability", but my reasoning for wanting a longer night, aside from the fact that I just like it when it's dark in general, is because I have cataracts in both eyes. They're not very far advanced, but they do me very susceptible to glare from any bright light and hinders my contrast sensitivity. I can see pretty great when it's night or dark in any game (or webpage--black backgrounds are great for me and I use various browser extensions to make everything dark), but when it's daytime in Tamriel, there is unfortunately a lot of glare, many details are obscured, and colors are very dull.

I don't expect to be catered to, but the very short night cycle definitely makes the game less enjoyable for me.

I'd think in those cases, the distance between the user and screen would alleviate most issues.

This is what someone who does not understand light sensitivity says.

No, this is what someone who needs sunglasses to go outside on overcast days says. I'm not belittling you. If your TV is causing eyestrain, I'd really recommend tweaking its own settings to help alleviate that.
