There's no doubt this is a dark game, and was meant to be.

   Assuming you have maxed out the brightness slider in the System options,
the next step is to create an auotexec.cfg file with the following settings
in it.  These are three user changeable settings that will maximize
brightness.  It will be brigher where there is "some" light to start with,
but there will still be a lot of darkness and dark shadows.   My gripe is
not the darkness, but the fact that from what I hear, the entire game is the
same way.  Give the guy a goddamn space suit/oxygen tank and let him spend
some time outdoors!

r_gamma 1.5
r_brightness 2
r_lightscale 3

   Put the file in the BASE folder.  And try the Duct Tape mod.

It *does* help.
