Going through Skyrim's dungeons, it looks like people were in there recently since all the torches are lit and you can easily see everywhere when that most likely isn't the case. I'm not too sure a normal person was able to shout his way to the end of the dungeon to light up the torches that are down there, for instance.

I'm looking for clever ways to make sure the player can see in the dungeon. My game has baked in light and I haven't been able to figure out how to make that coincide with a lantern or something similar. Using a spell could be helpful for lighting up caves potentially, but if you don't have a spellcaster on your team (the game is anything but linear) you will not be able to complete certain dungeons.

One thing I have used so far is lava, but that only really works in the volcano dungeon.

I'm trying to find ways of pre-baking the light in somehow, but I can't think of any way a normal human (and not a level 5794312549 adventurer like yourself) could even get to some places to light the torches in the first place.

So what are some ideas you all have for lighting up dungeons naturally while making sure it makes sense?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
