Am I the only one that is immensely creeped out by Dwarven ruins?

[bug7897]

The Nordic ruins kind of creep me out too, but the whole idea of the ruins of a lost civilization (not to mention said civilization just disappearing) with the creations of the civilization operating inside dutifully serving their dead creators is downright creepy. Not to mention the creepy noises played when you discover one and the sounds of the gears, still running hundreds of years after they were abandoned. -shiver-

I enjoy Dwemer ruins, they are among my favorite sites to explore, but that's just my taste. Others do not like them due to their size

I'd like them if not for the falmer.

I'm not creeped out by them. I'm immensely annoyed by them.

I bet you lord Naarfin knew what happened

Can't stand them for the main reason they are huge! Takes forever to get through one.

If I could set up a house inside one I would...Nordic ruins bother me much more...draugr, dragonpriests. Not that they are scary, just that the undead are alot less interesting than Falmer, or still-operating-ancient-machanical guardians. And if I had to sum up in one word why I prefer Dwemer ruins over Nordic ruins it is this.....BLACKREACH!!!!!!!!!

Blackreach is amazing. A truly remarkable location that deserves a good expedition from every player

On my very first Dragonborn character, he happened to be a mage and I think I spent the better part of 10 hours in Blackreach

I have yet to fully delve into all of the different areas in Blackreach, this is my plan next time I play =P

...no. Near everything in TES is much creepier than other fantasy. The dwemer, in particular, were not to be messed with. They were master mages and architects who built vast armies of machinations that have outlived themselves. Their ruins are now largely inhabited by falmer, an evil subterranean race of albino imps that want to destroy the surface dwellers. As if that weren't enough they have chaurus, very creepy.

It is; I find it both creepy and fascinating - I've always loved the all the Dwemer/Falmer lore.

Lore aside, though, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one here that finds them incredibly annoying. After a while, I get extremely fed up with all the twists, turns and just the size of the place. It takes me forever to navigate and get out/find what I'm looking for, and after a while, everything in it looks the same and I keep running around in circles. I'm always so relieved to get out of a Dwemer ruin.

Exploring the large Dwemer ruins have the Pros and Cons. Pros being that the is sweet loot to be found and there is also a bit of history there to immense yourself in. Cons being that trying to fight 5 Dwemer centurions alongside 10 to 12 Falmer at 8 FPS makes for some quick battles.

Where have you fought such impossible odds? I've delved into every dwemer ruin in Skyrim and its DLC and never fought more that two centurions at the same time.

It was in Blackreach, even now I still fear to tread there without having a suitable light source

I get the falmer, but five centurions? I've only ever seen the one that is "docked" so to speak on the side of a pathway.

Being that I was a Level 60 at the time that might have effected it otherwise it could have had something to do with that Warzone mod.

That's what I would expect. I play stock Skyrim on xbox.

I had the choice of either stable frame rates or the ability to mod, That choice may have come back to bite me now.
