Hell yes! Though I hope we get to actually kill our opponents this time...

Yeah. It was way too easy, but very interesting. I also loved being the champion and fighting monsters for cash.

As did I.

I hope that they do include Arena fighting. Plus i hope they add alot of depth to the area combating and make it a significant quest line by having multiple arenas throughout the province, from back yard type areas all the way up to a grand arena. Maybe start out by someone witnessing your fighting ability and asking you to fight in a shady run-down gambling type arena, then get invited to tournaments throughout the provience etc.. finally working your way up to the grand arena...then after you are grand champion you are challenged by random people (to both arena fights and street fights). Hopefully they add some time delay in the story line becasue my bigggest issue with the area fighting in oblivion is that you could complete it so quickly as long as it was between 9am and 9pm. I mean it is my own fault for continuously taking one fight after the other (no self-control), lol, so some control over the timing would be nice so that the arena fighting could be stretched throughout the gameplay as opposed to something that can be completed relatively quick.

Also better champion armour (maybe a weapon as well...champion's sword/axe...your choice) would be nice. Never had much use for the armour given in Oblivion.

the only problem i see with that is that other players would be a much higher level than others

Hmm, if only there was a way to filter players and place them in groups based on their level...oh wait, there is. It's what I just said.
Pretty much every game that has levels and PvP does this, a notable example is WoW, which arranges battlegroup teams in brackets for every 5 levels. So you'll never face someone more than 5 levels above you, and you'll ahve a team of people to help you anyway. Now it wouldn't be like that in an arena, but the concern you're raising is a non-issue in every sense of the word.

Hell yes!

Think about becoming the champion of the arena of a certain city then you'd get to go fight the champions of the other cities or sometimes they would come over challenging you ect.
With the new combat system I sure hope there are more chances to do closed battle with one or a few humanoid opponents. The quests involved would also be great,

Always wanted to join the Yellow team in Oblivion

They'll probably have some kind of arena. Bar brawls would be nice too, like when your fame goes up there would be a greater chance that some tough drunken nord would want to kick your ass.

The Arena quests in Imperial City was wicked fun. I really hope they are added in Skyrim. Anyone else who wants them?

ah damn you..i was going to create this thread today XD

Well, Morrowind had it, Oblivion had it. Fallout 3 lacked, but Fallout New Vegas had two.

Why not?

Wrong Fallout 3 had an arena in the pitt DLC

but on topic, yeah they should have it in Skyrim, great way for bethesda to show us what the new combat systemt is capable off. And besides the arena in Oblivion was indeed fun, hope they make much more fights and harder fights this time around
