I found the darkness to be notable as well, but was fine with how dark they shot it.

Night battle would be confusing with all the low visibility and certainly heightened the tension.

It also has the side effect of making the fire swords look cooler in scenes, and the fog also helped in masking Arya/making her big appearance that much bigger.
