Lately iv been exploring dungeons and not having a good time because i dont really feel like i have a purpose, im just looking through it for the sake of it and honestly, not having that much fun as a result.

Do you think if i started doing quests (misc quests, not mq or guilds) i will enjoy dungeons alot more because ill have a purpose?

I suppose if that's the way you feel about exploring, then yes.

Some dungeons have dragon shouts or and/or a dragon priest as end bosses. But most interesting dungeons are given through quests, so if you complete misc quests you have a higher chance of getting into an interesting dungeon. My advice, do your side quests and some guild quests, because those often have the best dungeons

I do both.

I only go to dungeons that someone sends me to. And it works pretty well.

I also count the guards saying, "Avoid brittleshin pass, blah blah blah" as a reason to go there. Throwing in a few bounty missions it keeps me full with stuff to do.

That's how a lot of us explore and complete dungeons. If you like exploring, but don't like dungeon diving for the sake of it, here's some things you can do:

1) Talk to people
2) Listen to guards
3) Persuade bounty hunters (useless!)
4) Look through courier's inventory and read letter (no need to pickpocket)
5) Greybeards' radiant quests
6) Letters from a friend
7) Bounties from Innkeepers

Or:

Arrive in front of a dungeon,check the name,look it up on wiki,see if it has a quest,if so go the person that gives the quest,and do it.If not just enter and do it anyway if you feel like exploring.

Probably. I personally enjoy exploring dungeons without quests, as I just invent some kind of expedition quest in my head.

If I'm walking somewhere, and I happen upon a crypt/dungeon/fort/etc, I investigate. Sometimes dungeons and such have quests of their own.
