Do I need a torch to ignore darkness?

Several players agree on this reading; no official ruling or rulebook text settles it.

You need something that lets you ignore darkness, such as a torch, though some heroes can see well in the dark without one. Without such an effect the hero is in darkness and takes the darkness step's fear. Shadow Sight's extra success does not apply while the hero is in darkness, even if a torch lets them ignore it.
