I agree the delves/dungeons are uninspired, there is a huge opportunity there for more content.

Why are there sometimes skeleton noises in apparently cleared chambers anyway? Is it ambient or are we hearing another dungeon nearby? I believe they're physically located way up in the sky above Yggdrasil.

For me it's not the size that bothers me, but that everything looks the same not just the dungeons. Once you've seen one, you've seen them all.

But if you consider how many people are working on this game and how big it is, it's understandable. The devil is in the details. And I don't mean that details make things better, that's for sure, but that there is often a lot of work behind it.
Even big game-title struggle with this.

I hope that there will more diversity come later. But the whole game needs diversity in the optical sense, in my eyes.

They're all over the place from my experience. Some of them have 3 or less cores, some have ten cores and tons of rooms.

Even found one that had no cores, and only like 4 rooms total, not even enemies.

I've seen them with 0 cores and ones with over 20. Some are huge and run you around quite a bit while others are tiny.

First few times in them I'd get a bit lost and thought of the caves in Oblivion where all I wanted after a while was to find the way out. Nice thing in this game is that the doors swing open so you can always tell what direction you came from.

you are likely on the first island, loot doesn't seem to be as plentiful on it but i don't recommend leaving until you have bronze tools, weapon and a Karve and at least 25 surtling cores.

Some dungeons are very small. Others are a bit bigger and may be much more rewarding.

Yes they are - but due to their design (each is its own instance it seems) they hopefully can add tons of new dungeons or even make it possible for players to add their own dungeons to a random Dungeon list at some point.

And then the next dungeon yields absolutely nothing

Except the 6 cores that I see....

The burial chambers and Crypts are all random.... sometimes you will find nothing and other times you will find a lot.

Even if you have 2 worlds with the same exact world seed, the burial chambers will be in the same location, in both worlds, but the interior of the dungeons will be different from each other... It's random.

There is a mod that makes the dungeons bigger. But I found that without some kind of dungeon mini map one can easily get hopelessly lost in passageways and rooms that all look the same.

I've found a delve with only one core before, and another one with six. Not sure about whether collapsed tunnels can be cleared- I didn't think to try.

They are all very small and bland. Once you see a few you have seen them all.
You might run into a rare one with upstairs or downstairs but it's still all the same.

My personal record find for cores is 18 in one burial chamber. Other times there has been zero. Random is random.
