Dungeon scenarios don't have to be devoid of role playing. Actually,
most of the Fantasy campaigns I have run have had a majority of the
scenarios involve an underground or indoor location. Outdoor locations
though can be the easiest to do if you build up some basic modular
units. Look at so many of those really nifty miniatures battles, they
rely on a relatively small library of features, the key ones being hills
which can be placed in a variety of ways, and combined to make larger
hills.
