Will You Go Arena, Will You Join Arena Options

[1234king]

ok im going one for the obvious reasons

if you have a different answer then mine plz explain

[jchamber]

I am a one because that is the kinda person and player I am, very through and super driven. and let's face it, super addicted....btw nor sure if the moderators will shut this down, they might not consider it "neccesary"(sp?) so..yea, gl with keeping this poll open

I've always loved Melee thrashing and out-smarting Mages in combat... so doing it for Fame and Fortune... why not?

[Holosiren]

As a consolre owner, I thouroughly enjoyed Shadow of Rome despite its historic and gameplay vapidity. For reference, that game tried to capture the Colloseum flavor, and all in all it was really cathartic. After playing that game, and seeing a snippet of arena gameplay, I'm positive I'll spend ridiculous amounts of time in the Arena. It sounds as if they really nailed the roar of the crowd (which is the most important thing to differentiate it from normal combat) and the roman-esque ampitheater pit.

if anyone knows or gets any new arena info please tell it here and does anyone know if you cant battle once your the highest rank in arena, you might get to schedual fights or something

I will probably first dabble in betting and spectating, I like to play elder scrolls games with no real goal.

I just pretend I am a bloke who has just entered a new world and begins exploring.

Probably will join though cause it sounds cool.

The only other game that done an arena well was Fable. Lets hope Oblivion does it better!

I do the same, as in just pretend to be an average peasant, and do the Main Quest and Guilds AFTER exploring a large chunk of the land and amassing some gold and getting to about level 15 - 20.
And, yeah. I enjoyed Fable's Arena too, but the outcomes were limited. This is going to be random combatants, with random equipment and there's a LOT more outside the Arena than Fable had to offer.
It's gonna be great.

I will bet but I won't fight in it with my starting character. I will later because I do EVERYTHING but its not on my must do list.

[Catmando]

you know what would be pimp if you could go online in the arnea and fight outher charicters for money.. that would be so cool.

[Discobiscut]

I wonder how long after the game is released the first gamer will post that he/she has become master of the Arena.
It will be interesting whether you can start straight away in the arena as lvl 1 or will you have to gain some level of skill before being admitted. It would be a great training ground to build up fighting skills before you venture out to the demon/monster infested wilds.

I'm probably gonna give it a shot . . .and get the carp beat out of me.

The whole betting aspect is gonna be a lot more interestin'.

[1234king]

hooray this is my first thread that has had over ten post


on topic so when you go in their do they strip you of all your armor and you go in there with random armor (if any) and random weapon or what

[Beagler]

My Main Quest character will have nothing to do with the arena, because as a Paladin, he finds it repulsive and barbaric.

I will later create a Nord fighter to become arena champion.

[mplantinga]

I intend my first character to be a pure mage, so I'm not sure whether he'll be interested in the Arena. I'll wait and see how good the defensive magic spells are before I make a decision. But, perhaps he may want to avoid it all together, as I think I want him to be a super-good honorable type who only kills by necessity, and certainly not for sport.

[Million]

Why would you not go to the arena? Its like the coolest thing ever. And if its anything like fable it should be awesome! And if you watched the video, when he is in the arena he has a staff that shoots stuff. It looks freakin sweet =)

[Malaki]

hellz yea but first Im gonna make a fortune gambling until the games start slowing down, and I notice these chumps aint so tough, I could probly take em. Bet on myself if I can, join in, and then realize Im screwed cuz I cant just sneak up on em like Im used to.

-Malaki out

[DoomedOne]

I will definitely be joining the arena. With many other games that include little mini arena things (KOTOR, Mount&Blade) they were still fun and addicting, even though there wasn't any storyline there. This time the arena will have a story involved, and you can suppose the depth of the story just from hearing about the story involed in the thieve's guild or dark brotherhood. I wouldn't be surprised if there were rivalries involved, attempts to rigg the results, everything you'd expect from a movie that's centered around an arena.

[pete tong]

im mainly going to bet
