I have a suggestion regarding the dungeon type usage in quests as a change from classic Daggerfall. For some of them, a dungeon type is implied in dialogue or the quest prompt, yet they use the "dungeon" place, which randomly selects a dungeon from every type. Hazelnut recommended me to post about it here for consideration.
I went through every quest that used "dungeon" as a place and examined the dialogue to see if it could use a specific dungeon type instead of a random one. Since there's already a fallback mechanic in place, regions that do not have these dungeon types will still parse by choosing a random dungeon instead. At least, a dungeon type that offers a theme and foe spawns more in line with the quests could be choosen first.
Here are my results :
