      TO ALL MY EDGEY WARLOCK FRIENDS OUT THERE WONDERING WHY YOU DON'T POP LIKE YOU USED:

      TL;DR Devil's Sight doesnt stop blindess, which is a part of Baldur's Gate 3's interpritation of Darkness that is not in 5e's rules as written.

      So:
      PHB 5e says darkness creates a "Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose [...] creatures with darkvision can't see through this darkness." (Player's Handbook 5th Edition p.230)

      The spell in Baldurs Gate 3 reads:
      "Create a cloud of magical darkness to Heavily Obscure and Blind creatures within."

      BLINDING you is not ever an effect that the Eldritch evocation "Devil's Sight " can make the warlock immune to, so therefore you can't go in and bust ass as the edgelord blade pact warlock you wanted to be.

        how do you remove darkness, it seems to stay forever and if an ally dies in it there is no way to revive them
