Yes, yes, and triple yes! I dread searching for the elder scroll in the main questline, because it is SOO BORING! It's nice to read the NPC's diaries and follow along a "connect the dots" story, but it's not enough to save this painful experience. I hate fighting the falmer with a passion, always swarming me and using their stupid poisons on me. Add that to an already dreadfully long and boring (I mean, it would be interesting since they look so unique, but they just kind of repeat themselves after awhile) dwemer ruins, and you got me shuddering every time I go near the place. If there's any single or misc. quest that requires going through a dwemer ruin, you can bet that I have NEVER completed it. Poor Mjoll is still waiting for me to collect her sword...
It's a shame too, since Blackreach is so beautiful and worth exploring, but by the time I reach it, I just want it to be over with. I've always ran through it as fast as I could, ignoring all the effort and time the developers put into such a gorgeous place. Seriously, I would enjoy these dungeons a lot more if they weren't so long! Bethesda, save some of the data for the wilderness, the place I actuality want to explore, please! It's good to vent with people who understand my frustration!
