Dungeons in Skyrim.

[Dusk17]

So I have been playing Skyrim for a few days and I have been wondering how long do the dungeons take to reset/repopulate? do they repopulate at all? please help


I know this is a question that is better for the elder scrolls sites and forums but I am not a member of those sites so please bear with me.

A month. And if you visit them before everything respawns, then the time resets and you have to wait another month.

I would hope they re-spawn I would be pissed if they didn't. and yes they do say cleared after you clear them. I heard that it took 30-40 in game days for them to re-spawn and i was just double checking. I really hope they re-spawn. Non re-spawning dungeons were one of the things I hated about morrowind. I don't get why they wouldn't re-spawn, if they don't repopulate then you are going to run out of them to do eventually.

I honestly don't see how this can be a problem for anyone so soon. If you've already killed everything in one area, move on to the next. The world is huge so there's no way you'll run out of stuff to do.

That.
But don't worry there is a small glitch you can exploit, if you wear your pants for a hat while playing then it only takes two weeks.

So is it 30 days or never? And yes its a problem if they dont respawn, it reduces the content of the game and as I said before they WILL run out of ones that havnt been done.

"Cleared" only means you have been in every part of the Dungeon. They all re-spawn.
