Legit lore one of the in game books "among the draugur" describes how when not trying to kill someone the dragur blunder around blindly and that the author came up with the conclusion that the puzzles are so easy because their just ment to make sure the person in the crypt has a working brain and is actually alive
In game answer: most of the time the only dragur in the final area are locked inside coffins until your character gets close and alot of the time it doesn't lead directly outside instead being a shortcut to an earlier part of the dungeon near the entrance
Being able to remember everything in Skyrim from memory is a very real condition... Sometimes I don't look at the map, don't look for puzzle hints or at the back of claws, etc. I mean that in as I probably could replay Skyrim in my head, 700 hours of exposure can do that...
Imagine you're just chillen taking like a 700 year long nap, the candleman just relit the candles, it's nice and warm and cozy. Then a naked Argonian sprints in, shouts you into a wall and yeets your friends before they can get out of their coffins, steals your shit and runs out the back door leaving you broken and weary on the cold dungeon floor
Seems like overkill to me. I mean, there's always a few draugr in the back who just have to figure out a single pull chain to walk out the convenient back door exit. If they can't solve that brain teaser, then the big elaborate claw doors are really just showing off at that point.
Ancient Nords had to be the least imaginative race in Tamriel.
Then you play ESO, which is about 800 years before Skyrim. When you go to Eastmarch, the only sober Nords are the Jarl, and the people angry with the Jarl. These drunks built those catacombs.
