Yup, unfortunately this isn't Morrowind 2: Electric Boogaloo, as much as I wish it were so.

You actually need incentive? Wtf? I go into dungeons to kill stuff. That's where the fun is at. Loot is secondary.

Remember that random dungeons are gonna have random, generic loot compared to quests and the like. You should expect the reward from The Incredible Quest To Save The Princess Florb And Kill The Evil Troll-King Splurp-Fozzle Who Imprisoned Her to be more unique than the loot from Underground Dungeon 45.4R-732J. In one you get The Grisly Spiked Boots Of Nut-Kicking, forged for the mighty warrior Herpa-Derp the Portly, and in the other you get Random Magic Item #74621.

rofl... I do the same think. Is it bad when you take a health potion over the enchanted item in a chest because you dont want to weigh your self down with worthless crap?

Haha, this is exactly what I imagine my character doing as well. "Worth 900 gold? Nah... Potion... Crud... Rubbish... Expensive enough to warrant selling... Nah... Oh, I can disenchant this... Worthless... OK, dungeon complete, lets go."
There's just too much loot that's supposed to be powerful, so in the end you feel like it's all just pointless crap that's not even worthy of being carried to the vendor.

Quite a few of the items, Like the Dragonbone cuirass, or the Staff of Hasedoki, are found randomly in dungeons, and aren't tied to any quests. Also, even if some of the artifacts are rewards for quests, I'd rather get a unique item for a quest as opposed to being rewarded with some random leveled item.

The worse part is that Bethesda keeps telling us we're amazingly awesome all throughout the game, but provides us with absolute crap. Why would a Dragonborn Arch-Mage, wearing a full set of Daedric gear, venture into a dungeon to find loot he or she could just buy from a vendor? This is Skyrim. The lore and mystery surrounding its past could easily beat out what Morrowind offered.. and yet they just dumbed things down and provided us with scaled items and boring quests that are over in a blink of an eye.

Lets wait for the Creation Kit before we start judging. I've found quite a few unique weapons so far. Unique armor not so much.

With everyone complaining about balanced leveling a kill all dagger would stuff up the game donchathink?

Crawling through dungeons get your stats up, lets you discover words and is,... fun.

Ok now that is crappy. Unique weapons should have unique stats.

Another thing I'd like to add: some people say that they dislike super powerful unique items because once you know where they are, you can just go back there on a new character and get them at the start of the game. However, Bethesda could do something similar to the radiant quests.

For example, let's say that Bethesda wanted to include 20 unique items (not leveled, and not just a re-texture) into the game. At the start of the game, the radiant system would place each of these items into a dungeon at random. Throughout your travels, you could come across one of these items, but where you found it would be different between characters. Perhaps when you asked an innkeeper about rumors, they could say that they heard of some powerful item hidden away in X dungeon.

This is something that could probably be added to the game quite easily, and it would give us interesting unique items that you couldn't just run and get at the start of the game.

Sheesh...that's one of the things that made me leave WoW...Cool looking weapons, that are OK for 3 or 4 levels, then you might as well vender em, cause they'll never be useful again.

Ah, you found Stormbringer! Too bad you're only level 5...you can svck the soul out of a Kobold, but not an orc!
