I completely agree. The knowledge that the enemy/item is going to be on this dungeon block is a huge sanity saver for me. When you're in one of those purgatory dungeons made of two flooded towers and an intertwining octopus hallway, you could be looking for literally days before you see a new sign of life. I absolutely love this.

Yes, dungeons have disconnected blocks, in which monsters can spawn and annoying you.

Also, this feature keeps attracting my attention. Because yes... it can take me days, real-time, to finish a dungeon quest.

Although they'd be easier if DFU had the minimap that Classic has.

I've explained the yellow blob before.

Agreed. People underestimate the yellow blob. It's rudimentary, but an enormous help in classic.

i like the option! though right now in my opinion the dungeons tend to be a bit too much on the small side.. may i make a suggestion to have a couple more settings in the future:
- adding a sort of 'middle ground' size of dungeons, not as big as the original, but bigger than smaller dungeons are right now
- adding an option to randomize the dungeon size option for every dungeon, for variety

it's refreshing to find the quest objective 5 minutes into a dungeon sometimes but when it happens every single time there is something lost about the game in my opinion. daggerfall is about dungeons above all else in my opinion! i turned the option off again for now.

What the quest item spawner could do, is prioritize locations farther from the entrance.

Actually, that could be a toggle. "Farther Quest Item Spawn", "Random Quest Item Spawn", "Closer Quest Item spawn" or something like that. So you could have smaller dungeons with quest items tending to spawn farther in, or larger dungeons with items tending to spawn closer to the entrance.

Did I mention? Bring back passwall.

@J: That Arena uber-spell would be very challenging to implement due to the level/engine design. Best to forget it and focus on various teleporting/transporting options

Oh I know. But the game already puts together blocks to build dungeons. A passwall spell would put a special 10' hall segment block 90°to the wall you cast it on. You could do special things like create rest areas by levitating up and installing a passwall in an existing wall. Create shortcuts; reach orphan sections etc. I just think it's a neat idea. I would be surprised if it was anything but difficult to implement.

This is something that Unity's free UMA 2 asset could probably do. I don't know if the license would allow, though.

So I just played my first dungeon with this option on. To review:

* Dungeon was still large enough I got lost a few times.
* Dungeon was still puzzling.
* Dungeon was a lot more fun.
* Completing the dungeon was satisfying, rather than "Light! Light at last! I can see the sky!"
