So, there are a number of people that like this concept -- me too at its most basic level -- but it just sums everything up to far too simply. It's critical that something is there to make each new location unique. If the difference is just a different looking setting and weaker enemies... then, no thanks... just give me one Arena. If each one has something specific and interesting to offer... sign me up! I'd be interested to hear ideas how to flesh out the quest line more.

2 is enough. The Official public arena and the underground, illegal, unofficial bastard winner takes it all arena.

1) Instead of adding several arenas, they could more double the quest length of just one.
2) You won't be fighting monsters. You will be fighting enemies generated through radiant story. I can bet you.

i second that. it was like that in the gladiator movie right?

.

I don't know anything about their plans concerning the arenas, but I certainly hope there will be more than one. And it would be nice if you could choose which team you are on, and to have different people to fight depending upon which team you are in. That would make it more realistic and add more variation in gameplay, thus making it more fun.

there should be an underground fighting/gambling ring.

A couple smaller arena's, and if you prove yourself in them, you earn a bid to the Huge Arena

Ps. like the above poster said, it would be cool if there were different teams, and you are placed in them depending on which local arena you worked your way through.

I'm not really sure I even want one arena. That was the weakest part of Oblivion. Maybe if they manage to actually make it fun this time.

Like people've said, multiple small arenas and one large one would be ideal.
I'd like to see improved betting.
Such as how you can look at the stats of a fighter, the equipment, and the arena record. (10 wins and of course 0 losses)

:tes:

I'd like some more arenas, to get some more sense of progression.. maybe like having to go around smaller villages and win fights before they let you in the bigger arenas

i would love to see the arena make a comeback. i had a similar idea hear at my thread http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1171286-should-the-arena-make-a-come-back/ . i think the bigger cities should have a big arena and some of the smaller towns / keeps should have small arenas, or fight pits. i like what some of the other posters had said about improving the betting system.
i would also like to see more gladiator type armor, like a leather/ iron scale arm guard, a gorget, a secutor and murmillo type helmet. i would also be cool if the armor reflected the house hold the fighter represents (i.e. so if the household is in a smaller town the armor is not as impressive as the household in the big cities will have the best armor)
BETHESDA PLEASE HAVE THE ARENA FACTION RETURN.

Small arenas in the smaller cities/villages and a main one in a big/main city,would be kinda cool to implement a system based on that,like there was in Gothic 3.
You would have to fight and win on all the smaller ones and only after getting some fame by doing that you could join the big fighters on the main arena fights,and who knows,maybe make them a litlle more exciting then in Oblivion...
Also some more use for the arena other then the arena fights and never return again would be nice,like we had in Morrowind a quest (i dont recall exactly the details) to defeat the Mage's guild guildmaster for his position.

Guess this is a most Player needs to fight in smaller Arena's first to fight in Bigger Arena's

.

I'm confused, what are you trying to say? :blink:

I want at least one good arena.

Not just multiple cookie cutter arenas.

I don't want any arenas..

Anyone who has listened to the podcasts would know that they had an arena in every city in oblivion, but has to cut the extra 800+ dialog and therefore cutting the arenas to just 1 in imperial city. So it is something they had thought about, but i am not going to pretend to know how they work, they could still find a way maybe.

oh nothing tried to get attention on this thread such a long time since someone posted in this thread

Arenas no thx, bar fights Hell Ya!!

Now someone has the great idea that would rule, if your feeling a bit bored, just pop down the local tavern and punch an argonian in the face, or the gills or whatever.
Is that racist, i honestly don't know.

I actually want the option to knock out people without killing them without them being "protected" of course it may sound easier to implement then it really is tho

A High Elf walks in a bar Punches a Nord And get Ass Kicked and Kicked out of the Bar the main Reason why a high elf won't enter a bar

Haha and because the doors too low
