The lighting from the Merchant's menus are darker than normal
I always found that when I'm playing Dungeons and I open the Merchant's menu, it's so unbelievably dark that there's no way it looked like this throughout the game's lifespan. So I went in digging old videos on the merchants and low and behold, this is what I found.
One example is the Luxery Merchant which in the latest version in highest graphics is literally pitch black. These screenshots are took at the same graphic settings in versions 1 year apart.
