Guest Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 In September/October I have 1 month free time before my lessons at the university start.Perhaps I can start to create such a plug-in :ph34r: Lets start a brainstorming:if you wanna add an idea, copy the list and add your proposal! - Champion Arena- Traps in Arena- Big Price for winning the new Arena - choosing from different possible prices (different weapons; light or heavy armor.... or perhaps different enchantments)- Different Arenas (Different Environments leading up to different monster enemies)- Tag Team action would be cool ;) - someone could create sexy groupies :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejonesuk Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I like this idea of another - perhaps illegal - arena. The combat possiblities sound cool, but I think that another aspect of the Arena could be improved too - gambling. I like the gambling aspect of the IC Arena, but I would much prefer being able to see the combatants before placing the bet - and preferably being offered odds. I would like to be 'invited' to join an illegal gambling club (perhaps by an NPC at the IC Arena). At the illegal arena, I, as the gambler, would be able to see the combatants for the next fight BEFORE placing a bet. There may be teams like the Yellow and Blue Teams in in IC Arena (say, Red and Black), and I can place a bet on the Red or Black team with appropriate odds. You may say it would be too easy to tell which side was going to win because the gambler would know the race, weapons and armour used by the combatants. But he wouldn't be able to tell how strong, skilled, etc, the combatants are. And if an apparently weaker combatant was fighting a stronger-looking combatant, the gambler would be offered better odds. The current gambling 'minigame' at the IC Arena is fun, but ultimately unsatisfying because it's a simple 50-50 pot-luck choice. I would like to see an element of 'skill' introduced into the gambler's choice. Also, to offset the advantage the gambler receives by seeing the combatants first, he might have to pay tax on his winnings. Also, to change the subject, I would like to see the fights changed so that they don't all end in the death of the loser. If one combatant's health is reduced below a certain level, they fall to the floor - and a referee (or the crowd) decide if they live or die. This could be decided by how well they fought - ie did they do much damage to their opponent before being knocked down. If the player is watching the game, as a gambler or just a spectator, he/she could perhaps cast a vote -thumbs up or down - which would represent the wishes of the crowd and have an effect on the decision. I don't know how easy it woulkd be to implement any of this. I tried to write a mod that allowed the player to enter the IC Arena balcony and place a bet with an NPC on the balcony AFTER seeing the combatants. I really wanted the combatants to come out into the arena and pause so the player could look at them and get a bet on. I managed to get an appropriate NPC on the balcony who would take a bet after the fight had started, but I couldn't get the combatants to pause - or to get the NPC to stop taking a bet well into the fight. It wasn't very satisfactory. Perhaps I'll try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottomus Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Maybe a trap route? Like you race guy(s) in a route that requires acrobatics, athletics and combat/magic? That would rock hard :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryocry Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 ... -ability to loot ur enemy (only fair)... They actually have something like that. It would be easy to do it your self, just unscript everyone and thing associated with arena combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eother Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 In September/October I have 1 month free time before my lessons at the university start.Perhaps I can start to create such a plug-in :ph34r: Lets start a brainstorming:if you wanna add an idea, copy the list and add your proposal! - Champion Arena- Traps in Arena- Big Price for winning the new Arena - choosing from different possible prices (different weapons; light or heavy armor.... or perhaps different enchantments)- Different Arenas (Different Environments leading up to different monster enemies)- Tag Team action would be cool ;) - someone could create sexy groupies :D -when in the fight people throw apples and things into the arena at the combatant they dont want to win- ability to loot ur enemy (only fair)- switches that make trap doors open, so u can send ur opponent to Oblivion :D - Different options for the fight. i.e. "Today, you can fight an Argonian with a claymore, or a Redguard with an axe". That way, you can fight things that are easier or harder for your character.- Better loot payoffs for killing an opponent a certain way. I mean, if you go and stick him in the eye with an arrow, it just isn't as crowd-satisfying as you knocking him into a pit of spikes.- Maybe an optional bonus objective for high level people, to keep them going to the arena. Like, kill him in x amount of hits, get 3 knockdowns, that sort of thing. If you complete the objective, you get more loot.- An option to take a "loot" payoff (items) or gold payoff. Well, hope you make the mod! Thanks in advance if you do. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance if you do. :D Well, for now i am planning to do so ;) An arrow in the eye would be an asskicking goal for killing an opponent, but there are no hitboxes in oblivion i think. -Remember the silly daedra quest from mw ordering you to kill the giant netch bull with the worst weapon ever? In higher ranks there could be fights you have to do with bad weapons to make them more difficult.Better: Someone asks you to fight with no shield and an iron dagger against an enemy with a hammer that is bigger than your goddamn ass, to make all people betting against you. then he bets a high amount of money on you and offers you 30% of the money he will win....

CJD Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 or they make u fight with no armor or weapons, that would be a cool challenge :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaera75b Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I had a similar idea here http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=76689 but I like yours, too. Does it have to be illegal, though? I love the idea of an underground Arena, lit only by candles perhaps. Maybe it could be Owyn's pet project, as Ysabel looks after the Grand Champion and Owyn just has the odd Blue Team wannabe step up to the plate and end up redecorating his red room. Either way- an arena where you can fight NPCs and not just creatures would be wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
