On the other hand, ELFX looks much prettier. Turning up my brightness seemed to alleviate the issue slightly, btw.
RLO is realistic- but literally painfully so. However, by the end of my play session, I had to give my eyes a little rest- not because I had been playing a long time, but because I was squinting for hours on end at my computer screen. I also find that buildings with windows and skylights are much much brighter during the day than the night- a nice little touch for thief characters such as the one I'm playing now when you're breaking into homes, as it gives you a sense that you're not supposed to be in the home at this time. A building without many skylights, interior lights, and windows is going to be VERY dark- but a building with those things is going to be much lighter.
What I find is that RLO is more immersive in the sense that light goes where light should reasonably go. I have used both RLO and ELFX with CoT for quite some time now. Sorry to revive this post, but I just wanted to stick in some of my input
