Bethesda has recently confirmed at least 120 dungeons to be included in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, with no two areas being alike. Â Bethesda has 8 people working specifically on dungeon creation, crafting each one by hand. Â This is a stark comparison to Oblivion. Â In the last Elder Scrolls game, there was one dungeon creator who relied on “procedurally generated landscapes.” Â It’s noted that of the dungeons in Skyrim, you will encounter things, puzzles, enemies, that you will not find anywhere else in the world. Â These one of a kind instances will make each journey into a dungeon a new and treacherous experience.
Of course, as Dragonshouts have recently been outlined as a huge part of the game. Â You can expect that when venturing into dungeons you will find dragons. Â By defeating them you will absorb their soul, earning you a new dragon shout ability. Â It is also said that you will be able to learn the Dragon Shouts from finding phrases written on the walls of the dungeons. Â You can find the explanation of Dragon Shouts here.
With over 120 unique dungeons in the game, Elder Scrolls V could be quite the time consumer when it launches in November for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
