Dungeons need to be deeper than Cyrodiil : V

» Fri May 13, 2011 8:23 pm

The high majority in Cyrodiil were 2 levels. I hope that the majority in Skyrim are 4 levels, with a few reaching 5 to 10 levels.

The more effort they put in to each dungeon, the fewer there will be, which I am perfectly ok with.

Me too...leaves more room for modded things! (dungeons, Unique Landscapes, Towns, etc.)

I want variety.

A few 1 levels (all caves aren't crazy big and deep you know), some 2 levels, some 3-5 levels, a few 6-8 levels.

Yeah, I'd prefer fewer, but deeper, more complex dungeons, each with a little mystery and story of their own. Quality over quantity in this case.

This would be great. Some of my favorite ES dungeons were the really deep ones in MW, mostly in the expansions, like the dwemer ruins/caverns under Mournhold, some of the MQ icecaves in Bloodmoon, and a couple dungeons in vanilla. Deep dungeons would be awesome, especially if they had some twisty disorienting passages.

I'd mainly like more unique dungeons. Oblivion's were far too formulaic. Chests in raised sections in the corners, etc.

How about Daggerfall style? Thousands of dungeons and they're all stupidly big.

This, more than anything else.

^ this

i wonder if you could make a mod that would randomly generate content and such

I think there should be unique dungeons defenetely along with randomly generated dungeons.
This is an interesting article about randomly generated dungeons.

Somebody made a mod for Morrowind with a dungeon located just west of Peligiad, that had a lot of levels in it...or so I recall...I DLed it, and played at least a couple of levels. I stopped at that de[th. I think it was advertised of having 100 levels. Anyone know for sure?

If they make BIG dungeons. They should have something worth it at the end.

» Fri May 13, 2011 7:26 pm

I don’t care if it “breaks immersion” or not, dungeons need a backdoor out, or even just the option to “return to cave entrance” once you’ve reached a certain spot at the end.

Spending 10 minutes trying to find your way back out isnt immersive, it’s just boring.

Dungeons better not be full of light, some should be pitch black.

» Fri May 13, 2011 5:41 pm

there were some dungeons that were just gigantic in Oblivion though, like the one that connected Mania and dementia, also Vilverin was pretty big, but a lot of them were lacking although I do like some dungeons that just have you fight a whole bunch of bandits

» Fri May 13, 2011 5:52 pm

Don't knock pitch black dungeons...that's how I like em!

Check out EBROCCA or CANN.. both in shivering isles. they are huge.

I am hoping for deep dungeon delves, where you better be well equiped.
also, darker, where having a torch or other light source is needed.
The mountains do provide for a lot of space to be utilized underground.

I think this would be another case where it would be beneficial to have a good number of randomly generated dungeons based on certain criteria, and then a hand full of dungeons that are lovingly crafted. I would love to see some big dungeons that you can spend hours exploring, only to start cursing when you realized you forgot to cast a mark spell, and can't find your way out.

I want ruins that look more like ruins than dungeons. Ayleid Ruins, seriously? No one would build places like those to actually live in. The same goes for forts.

» Fri May 13, 2011 8:33 am

I disagree with the more quality, less quantity. Elder scrolls has always been about quantity -- it's part of the attraction. I'm still a bit sad about when they cut down the number of cities after Daggerfall.

I'd rather they improve/ add depth to their random generator than "lovingly craft" a handful of dungeons.

I hate dungeons. In all games. The shorter they are, the better.
