Just another sign of Casualization.

Are there dungeons in ESO with multiple entrances and exits which allow you to enter the same dungeon in different ways? In the previous games, the dungeons were fairly linear and it was difficult to get lost. – By Ivan Colnat

ESO dungeons do offer some branching paths, and they often have convenient exits at the end of the dungeon. Philosophically though, we want the challenge from dungeons to focus on the combat encounters rather than from trying to navigate through them.

Why is it always about the encounters with MMO's? Why can't exploring in a dungeon be a main goal?

This imo is just stupid.

Will we find cookies in dungeons? :3 – By SOTD

As you are probably aware, in this time period there are no cookies. No one is certain why there are no cookies. Some believe it was due to the Knahaten Flu outbreak being directly linked to circular baked goods, which explains the oblong bread shapes prevalent at this time. Still others believe that Sheogorath made it so sugar became salt when used for baking cookies. It is rumored he did this over what he believed was an inappropriate bout of familiarity when his servant used a certain term of endearment. There is probably little truth to either of those theories. It is far more likely that a very bad batch of Bosmer Meat Cookies, meant as a sincere gift, soured the old emperor’s stomach and he ordered an edict to kill all bakers who even had cookies on their menu. So, no. No cookie for you.

The second ^ one was clearly a World of Warcraft player. This is not the type of question you would see from an Elder Scrolls player. Which shows that World of Warcraft casual players will be bombarding ESO with their idea's and their WoW knowledge on things.

This is bad for the game. Very bad.

Reason why its bad? Most likely, this WoW player is a casual player. With casual ideas. Casual Ideas in my opinion, ruin games. In other words they make things easier. Now, I'm not saying the game has to be hard, i'm saying casual Ideas remove depth from the game. The less depth the game has the more boring and obtuse it becomes.

I hope its not mind numbingly boring like WoW is now. Pretty soon, everyone will be doing dalies non-stop or have to wait for a dungeon Q or raid finder Q, and everything will be handed to everyone.

Epics for everyone!......no , this is not how the game should be.

Just sayin'.

I agree, except I'm applying that to the entire thread

Yeah, I don't understand. Maybe he wants a dungeon to not have any encounters.. just a maze with a box of loot at the end?

Actually, that does sound really cool. Some major trap dungeon.

Accusing things of being stupid and casualized is not a good base for a discussion.
