Will you be entering dungeons early? : V - Skyrim

Why would you level lock dungeons at a low level?

All the creatures will wind up being pushovers and the loot they drop will be low-level too.

In fact, you might have trouble leveling up if there isn't other content to fight at your current level other than dungeons.

It depends what I'm out in the world for. If I'm on a quest that seems time sensitive I will ignore it for later. If on the other hand I'm simply hunting or picking up ingredients I may get distracted and enter.

There's supposed to be ~150 assorted dungeons to explore, so why worry about level locking anyway? If you explored all 150, you'd probably be a massive hulk of a toon before you even finished half of them.

Just seems like a pointless thing to worry about, IMO. Too meta-gamey, as well.

Hm, this level locking sounds like a stupid game design idea. Didn't know it works like that.

However, I'm not much into dungeons in general, so I probably won't get into them too soon unless the quests send me there.

I know everyone is excited and wants to play so bad and speculating helps satiate the desire, but I don't plan anything.

I have no idea what play style I'm going for or what perks I want to get. I never have with tes, but I may get svcked into the main storyline right away and finish that first.

I wait to make any decisions till they actually pressent themselves.

No, I'm not going to worry about leveling. I want to see what the game does first. I don't always enter a dungeon when I find one because I'm often on my way somewhere. I'm happy to have it marked on my map and I might get back to it and I might now. I'm still finding dungeons/caves/mines in Oblivion I've never entered. They're more alike but not exactly alike and I haven't seen the loot.

:tes:

Isn't that blasphemy around here?

you enter a medium dungeon say level 20 at level 10 it will be locked at level 20. but when you clear it if you go back say level 45 will it be around level 45 for the challenge?

No, it will stay locked at level 20 for the rest of your game.

If it continued to level with you it wouldn't be "locked," would it?

If they cross my path, then I'll probably enter them. Will also depend on my encumbrance level too.

I hate that the dungeons are going to be locked to a level. I love exploring any dungeon I come across and I don't want to lock some at low levels!!

That's stupid.
Why not just make them scale to your level once you have leveled up, that way it will be fun no matter how far into they came you are. Being able to toss enemies aside like they are nothing is boring.

Not right away. I like to explore the over world a lot first.

» Tue May 08, 2012 3:28 am

well if i happen to run into one during my travels ill peek my head in.

» Tue May 08, 2012 4:32 am

Bleak Farrow Falls out of the way immediately. After that I have no idea how I will play. I am still in somewhat disbelief I will be playing Skyrim tomorrow evening.

» Tue May 08, 2012 2:16 am

Only if i'm not doing something already.

» Mon May 07, 2012 11:25 pm

If I see one maybe, but I want to see more than just dungeon, so only the really cool ones I see I will take my adventure off too.

» Mon May 07, 2012 8:59 pm

If I come across one and don't feel forced but just out of pure will, sure :obliviongate:

» Mon May 07, 2012 10:22 pm

I'll enter them as I discover them on my way to/from other quests, but tend not to just aimlessly explore trying to find dungeons.

» Mon May 07, 2012 10:38 pm

I usually just let the game evolve as it unfolds before me. Later on, ona second playthrough I might deviate from the pre-chosen course. I usually don't find it as interesting though forcing things.

» Mon May 07, 2012 8:53 pm

I love to explore, I will be looking into every dungeon I find - and probably quickly running out again when I find too many enemies that are going to kick my ass

» Tue May 08, 2012 6:00 am

My 1st time through I will explore all dungeons regardless of level, future playthorughs I may save some dungeons for later on.

» Mon May 07, 2012 9:36 pm

I don't always enter dungeons early, but when I do, I stay until the end.

Stay dovahkiin my friends.

» Mon May 07, 2012 7:53 pm

Absolutely. I will enter every dungeon I pass.

That's exactly what I'll do.

» Mon May 07, 2012 8:35 pm

I will wait until I am fully equipped and skilled in multiple techniques, a broad variety of killing shall occur then.

» Tue May 08, 2012 5:40 am

Im just glad that dungeons will respawn

im going to the first dungeon i see, clear it out, wait (in-game) to find out how long it takes for enemies to respawn
