Will You Go Arena, Will You Join Arena Options

[Taillus]

Man Xander (My Character for Oblivion) is suiting up as we speak! I can't wait to hop into the arena pit and start throwing it down with anyone who wants a piece. I just hope they make it worthwhile with cheering crowds and such.

Is it the 20th yet?

[Bahumut Ben]

I will certainly be taking part in the arena as i always love owning mages with melee, also the video snippet of it proved entertaining

[jack cloudy]

I'd join. I love the idea of making this old looking character and then bashing down all those youngsters in front of a crowd. They don't make fighters like they used to.

[Joeri]

on the video you could hardly see any crowd...

[Tellie]

Yup...mby a couple o times.

first off id like to say that this is my first topic to ever get two pages hooray for me. But more on topic I wonder if there will be like animals that come out of the ground. You know how like lions came out from cages underground in gladius. Like maybe nix-hounds or dreaded cliff racers

[Pisces]

I will of course play in arena because I will do everything but my first characters will only spectate, arena is for a later character.

[DoomedOne]

You might as well try to experience everything possible with your first character instead of trying to separate it out like that otherwise you're looking at a goof 1500 hours of playing.

what if your in the stands and your guy/girl knows a fireball spell or something on target. Could you cast it at the guy you want to loose????

[xycolian]

I will definetly visit the arena pretty often.

I'd be willing to bet that there's an invisible 'globe' around the arena fighting grounds that prevents external objects (spells, rocks, arrows, or crazy people that lost a lot of money on a bet due to the death of an arena participant that they were betting on, etc.) from entering.

Yeah, one of the interviews mentions there will be no external disturbances while fighting in the pit.

I can't see any reason not to go to the Arena. Combat in a city without getting arrested. You betcha!

[Curly_G_]

Anyone know where the Arena is?
One per City or just Imperial City? Or somewhere else?
I wanna find it within the first 8 hours of gaming.

yea good one!
hope there will be multiple Arena's

[TylerAV]

Everything I've seen so far seems to indicate there will be only one arena in the Capitol.

[Scrotoclease-the-Mighty]

I will probably watch some fights and wager a wee bit. I will also figure out how my future rivals fight and develop strategy. Then i will hone my combat skills on some trolls and level up a wee bit. then i will crush all of my opponents in the collesium.

Don`t know yet, maybe i will join the arena, but first i will become the
guildmaster in fighters guild

[Gamelin]

As one of my first two characters will be an altmer, with heavy armor, blunt, and block, and will almost certainly be amoral, it will be the first guild I will join. It will be interesting to see how an altmer will fare against orcs/redguards/nords. Hopefully bloody, and certainly great fun.

[Atlarge]

My character, though he will be of a good disposition, doesn't see any moral difference between dungeon spelunking and the arena. After all, in both cases people are essentualy betting their lives against gold anyways. Whether or not he will participate will depend on how durable he proves to be during gameplay.

By the way, after skimming through the guides Arena section, I can say that it should be a blast. And there is only one Arena.
