Your favorite dungeon type?

What are your favorite types of dungeons in Skyrim?

There's caves, Nordic ruins, Dwemer ruins, ect. I think the glacial caves are kind of cool in a way, but I'd probably say my favorite is the Dwemer ruins. Not only because they tend to be longer than the others, but there seems to be better loot, the machines and the Falmer are two of my favorite types of common enemies. I especially like fighting the Dwarven Centurions, for some reason.

I do kind of wish Skyrim had a few more unique dungeons. Something that wasn't the typical dungeon type. Like the Inner Sanctum in the Dawnguard DLC. I would've loved it if that place were made into a full-blown dungeon and a couple more dungeons designed like it. It does get a little boring doing Nordic dungeon after Dwemer dungeon after Fort dungeon repeatedly.

Most of the time I'd say the Nordic dungeons and after that I actually like to raid forts or mines.

Although, I must say that one or two of the "ice-dungeons" are quite cool, there is one with some vampires in that I actually enjoy quite much.

Nordic ruins and their architecture are my favorite things in TES. Though, I wish that there were more outdoor ruins such as Arcwind Point and the dragon lairs.

I also would have liked to have seen more variety in the architectural styles of the Ancient Nordic ruins. Dragon Cult temples could have had a style different from say, Ysgramor's Tomb, and what-not.

I also wish that the Dwemer ruins were actually designed as the cities that they were meant to be, rather than linear torture chambers designed to enrage the PC.

Nordic Ruins.

Rahgot and Hevnoraak's parts of the cult knew how to build like gods.

Rahgot's city is at least 5 times bigger than Valthume.

If you love looting everything then get the steed stone before going there. once you are in there kill something and equip their armour.

I don't like Nordic ruins. Draugr are boring as hell (though I enjoy fighting Dragon Priests). Maybe if they had more interesting puzzles...

Dwemer cities are always fun. I also like regular caves regardless of their inhabitants, they are often quite beautiful (especially glacial caves, snow lover that I am). Shadowgreen Cavern might be my favourite dungeon in the game, except Blackreach.

Architecturally speaking, Nordic ruins. Though I absolutely hate how the main enemy in each and every one is draugr, with maybe a few living NPCs for the first couple rooms or so.

I'm not a big fan or Nordic or Dwemer ruins. i find their design a little boring, (dwemer ruins in solstheim were better though) i'd rather go to a large cave and fight bandits than draugr. from caves lost knife hideout is probably my favorite.

In the beginning I looted everything.

Now I only take things with either a value over 1000 or gold/gems/jewelry/scrolls or potions I might need (also, the items need to be glass/ebony or magic robes/staffs) to limit myself a bit.
