Trick as old as the game Wizardry.
It's often better than making them fight their way back up.
Ah, the door of Skye-R'ym!
I understand the backdoor shortcut in Skyrim since it's all open-world with no "levels" or cutscenes, but in a pen-and-paper game the DM can just "yada-yada" the multi-hour uneventful walk back to the entrance of the now-cleared dungeon.
Good point -- but still an argument against dungeon backdoor shortcuts, not for them!
