We have already been introduced ever so slightly to a battle arena of some sort in The Elder Scrolls series. But i hugely admire the current engine and the immense graphics and difference between ESIV -V and i think a dlc for skyrim with some sort of a gladiator arena would be fantastic.
it gets a little bit boring clearing out the same old areas when you just want to go fight and test out your spells or new weapons from previous dlcs and it has somewhat lost its meaning.....sometimes it can feel pointless , especially when you have already poured 200+hours into the game. 600+ for some people i know
Well, i thought that if we could have a dlc with a plot to it that includes an arena where you enter different tournament types and "games" to eventually become a champion (lots of different games like gladiator times offered)
fallout tried to create this in "the Pitt but the longevity of it....sucked to be frank...we wanted more, not the 5 minutes it offered.
if Bethesda could come up with a tournament like arena with different modes battle options etc with a huge crowd to entertain and possibly some sort of king or emperor to entertain i believe it would vastly restore some life into the combat of the game.
if an unlocking system was used in it as well - eg points from winning matches or tournaments or team battles with the cpu using your follower used to unlock new weapons armors or followers "gladiator slave" etc etc i think it could give many another huge excuse to pick the game up for longer duration's than a normal quest-line dlc could offer:
instead of clearing out the same old areas, people might feel the urge to want to go killing again in skyrim. and what better way than in an ADDICTIVE spontaneous gladiator tournaments!?
honestly i think it could and would be soo addictive, i would certainly play skyrim alot more if it existed.
Hopefully people get what i mean by the addictive part and how it would increase longevity vastly.
it would even be awesome if once your opponents health went down to near death, they would fall to their knees or against the walls and your next hit would initiate a new finishing move from various new entries.
Im sure pc mods exist for this however im also sure they wouldnt capture the same atmosphere a new dlc would obviously. i think it could be great.
yes that would be cool..if we can go back in time and fight in the war between the alderi dominion and the empire but something like this would most probably be used as a grand finale sort of thing. I think bethesda will release another small dlc maybe followed up by antoher one and then a realy big one.
ehh...I don't think so. Not for me at least....the combat system in Skyrim isn't "top notch" for arena-like battles. I don't necessarily play Skryim to hone in my limited "moveset" skills. If there was a setting for no potions, no restoration battles, then that would get to the core of true arena
