Many a time i've spotted this chest obscured by rocks/bushes/ behind a rock wall, and i think to myself "WOOT its the hidden chest of the dungeon, time to get some serious money"
And i get a potion and 32 gold from the chest :glare:
Would you want secret rooms and such in dungeons?

I would just like some decent gear in the chests at some point. Getting rather tired of those master locked chests with 4 gold and 5 lockicks in them, or nearest equivalent.

Some of them have secret rooms or items that are only accessible with telekinesis. Also, don't forget to look in those bowls with wrapped linen in them. Precious gems await discovery.

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.
