Anyone think it'd be a good idea to impelement a system whereby prisoners are sent out into the arena to their deaths? ala that russel crowe movie of course but I actually had reality in mind, I mean it's incredibly stupid to volutantarily become a gladiator knowing full well that you either murder someone you've never met or be murdered, certainly unroleplay-like for characters with any sense of decency. Has this already been done or am I dreaming? Don't think it'd be too difficult with a couple of teleports and setstages, and voice acting of course. It'd also be brill if NPCs sent to prison(via Reneer's or that other one that's vanished) you would meet, but that's far too ambitious for my own good I'd say.

Lol at the topic's description.

That's a good idea. I kind of want to enter the arena with my mage character, but there's no way in hell he'd enter it, unless he had no other choice.

I'd love to see hardened criminals being sent to the arena for trail by combat rather then rotting away in the cells. If you win you get to live a little longer and eventually have your time reduced, if you lose....well saves the guards having to kill you/feed you.

what do you think?

Not sure if you mean solely in the Oblivion vanilla world, we're planning in Mesogea to have an Arena in almost all major cities so that fighters or "bladesmen" can travel around and fight in various locations ending up at the main arena. One storyline is to be reduced into slavery as a bladesman and have to work through the arenas for freedom. You can of course escape, but then the Myrions, the Arena guards and hunters would seek you everywhere.

Haha yeah, part of the reason for this is I really wanna checkout that Arena Alive mod which looks fantastic but don't think I'll be playing the happily-joins -a-prisoner's-struggle-for-fun sort any time soon,


What do I think? You just repeated what I said! So yes I think it's a smashing idea lol.

@karithian
Thats interesting. Myself I was thinking more around the lines of a more organic system(if that makes sense) of "this is just the way the roman(imperial) world works" instead of a specific quest, dyou kno wot I mean. So basically an add on to the existing crime system. Nevertheless I'll be sure to check out your mod.

And if you win, it's less likely that you'll lose skillpoints, or at least, less likely that it as severe as it normally would be? This could also open opportunities for the other way around: i.e. once you become Grand Champion, you can occasionally have the option to fight a prisoner or group of prisoners, or prisoners of war, though of course, you would be handicapped slightly.

Merunnin. please do check the mod out. If Oblivion Vanilla or modded up doesnt float yer boat then you could transfer your plot lines etc to Mesogea. Its virgin territory.
