    how should randomized dungeons work without the dungeon environment looking like a unlogical puzzle (you are in a jungle, then you go behind a curve and are in a subterrain lava cave. Then you go back and find yourself in a desert and not in a jungle.) or be just a boring cave system with one-colored wall? I like my dungeons to look pretty and great, not like a Picasso.

    What SE can do is making the dungeons bigger and the paths more like a labyrinth, placing the chests randomly with every entry, let the mid-bosses spawn in 3 random rooms of 6 and let the boss only spawn if all chests were found and all mid-bosses were killed.

    So, not making the dungeon randomly, but the content in the dungeon (chests, bosses and whatelse will be clickable or killable).

    I'm sure SE isn't that lazy to make it that way, and with their current dungeon themes they can make quite some fascinating looking places.Though some players are still contemplating "looks" over fun, I think it's safe to say it'd be alot better than Diadem if they focused on the fun. We can still have our multiple paths and mini-puzzles too, have some faith in the dev teams to actually make content that could be a different challenge and experience each time you run it.

    You should take a look at Bloodborns random dungeon system, its chooses one theme and if possible a theme that would easily meld in with one another.
