No, but I would like unique items in a few dungeons so I actually have an incentive to explore. I can't really tell you how stoked I was the first time I found the Chrysamere, or the Ice Blade of the Monarch in Morrowind. Oblivion had 1 quest related set of armor, and Skyrim has Red Eagles Fury, which is only a retex of the ancient nord longsword. The same retex as the smithable version! Great.
The dungeon diversity in Skyrim is so much better, with some truly unique locals like Evergreen Grove and Irkngthand which just feel awesome to explore, but even the first time I arrived at Blackreach (which was, to its credit, my favorite zone in any TES game) I had this nagging feeling in the back of my mind:
The landscape may be unique, but nothing else is. Same leveled loot, same leveled mobs.
DISCLAIMER: Blackreach contained a few unique plants and 2 rather cool easter eggs.
