Alright so i was reading through some forums and saw that a guy had a wish that there was an online arena for Elder Scrolls V. Now i know that the release is less than a year away. But Here was my idea.
Game Mode Ideas:
The Arena. Let the servers hold 8 people. So you can have the choices. Their should be two rounds in every match.
1) To have a 1v1
2) To have a 2v2
3) To have a 3v3
4) To have a 4v4
1v1 Tournament mode. Like when one match is beginning the other 8-16 (i think there could be a possibilty of 16 but 8 will only hold 4 matches, keeping the battles fast and leveling up faster.) But the other non active players will sit and watch the battle in the spectating area of the arena and if they want they can bet on either gamertag instead of having teams in a 1v1 arena it should say that you can bet on (said gamertag.) For the Players that are Getting in the 1v1. They have 60 seconds (1m) to get there weapons and armor equipped and everytime they find a new match it uses previous selected weapons. Then the active players walk up to the Gate ready to battle it out. And if one player is not ready when 60(s) is up then it spawns them to the Arena Gates with selected equipment. When the match Ends it Brings up a map like screen of who's 1v1ing next. Then it loads and spawns everyone to designated places, Non active players to spectating areas and have the choice to bet there online money on (said gamertag) and To bet they can go to a man standing at a bar or whatever this doesnt matter to me honestly. The active players spawn in a room with All of their weapons and armor in a chest and a table where they can heal their Health Magika Fatigue. And in the room That the players spawn in should show their personal stats and arena medals etc. Then 'course they spawn to the gates. For the people who lose the 1v1's they should have the choice to spectate until the tournaments over or leave the game but the losers should earn some xp for fighting.

When you switch to the multiplayer mode it should spawn you in a room where you can equip your arena equipment and take as long as you want you should also be able to see your personal stats, medals, etc. Should be able to go to the armory and buy stuff for the arena with your money. and you can hit the back button for x360 to choose what game mode you want to play, this also doesnt matter to me Bethesda will figure it out.

My Thoughts on leveling up online:
When you level up your skills you can Level up, and Here are the thoughts if you go to the training area you can level up skills and level up but if you play online you can level your skills and your money so you need to play online to earn money to so you can buy weapons and armor but if you want to just level up one certain skill real fast and dont care for the money you can just go play in the Training area.

My thoughts on The personal customization:
I think that online you should be able to change your race and facial features at anytime you want but you should be a certain level like when you pass level 10 or if there are 10 races in Skryim i think you should unlock a race every level and the Default races should be a Nord since this is Skryim and Nords originated from Skyrim. Then also you can change your race, gender, etc. At anytime the player wants to.

I think there should also be a Training room, like when you spawn in this said Multiplayer room there should be a door like downstairs leading to a room filled with Dummies for people who favor swords, bows, etc. and a seperate section where you can level up magic skills. Now for The marksman skill i think that when you get to a certain level you should have the ability to hold to arrows and shoot and For the People who favor blades should reach a certain level and be able to weild to blades. (daggers, shortswords, longswords, etc.)

My clarification on This said Personal Multiplayer room:
When you swith to Multiplayer it should spawn you in your room with your purchased equipment in a chest or mounted on the wall or whatever and have your personal stats and best (Awards/Medals) And then you can go downstairs to the training area. And have a man upstairs that you cant kill, that is behind something that you can buy equipment from. And in this room where you spawn there should be a mirror around that will let you customize your person to whatever race ,hairstyle , etc. that the player wants.

Another Game Mode:
A Chariot Race would be Great. It would be a race with 4-8 people i guess racing around atrack and the winner gets a bunch of Gold. And you can buy new chariots/horses/spiked rims on the chariots/ armor for horses/etc.

A Chariot Battle would also be nice.
