[WIP] Ravengate Arena


EnaiSiaion

Recommended Posts

Due to some unfortunate issues with third parties (read: people quit on me), I'm putting Dunaduan on hold for the time being (qq).

 

However, remember that Ravenhall arena I announced a while ago? Yeah. Still working on it. :smile: Though I had to rename it due to someone else making a Ravenhall Home mod. I used the opportunity to pretty much redo all the visuals and only keep some scripts.

 

In fact, I have a deadline: 3 weeks from now. Be afraid...

 

 

What is Ravengate

 

Basically, the definitive arena mod. Take up the sword yourself, bet on fighters, participate in cockfights or street brawls in the back alleys around the arena, etc. There is some voice acting.

 

 

Welcome to tha hood

 

You know that unused arena in Windhelm? It's a fairly spartan environment with graphical glitches. It has received an Extreme Gray Quarters Makeover including new textures and tons of scenery work and now looks like what the worst place in the worst neighbourhood should look like.

(For comparison's sake, the original map looks like this)

What can I do here

 

There are several tournaments, all available for a small fee at the local pimp crime boss entertainment manager, Tarkul.

 

Tournament

 

Two series of 1v1 fights. The winners of round 1 and 2 face off against each other during the finals. Your opponents are popular fighters with their own abilities and personality, chosen from a pool of 14: Uran the beastmaster and his pet bear, "Bossmer" Tearlac, Top Dog the werewolf, dark child Annah and her daedra, the Shadow and his invisibility cloak, ... No healing between rounds and no potions, by the way. And don't disappoint anyone who bet money on you.

 

Gambling

 

Check out the fighters in their cages and place your bet. If you correctly predict the winner of the AI tournament, you gain a nice reward. Influencing the outcome in any way is forbidden, but only if you get caught...

 

Cockfighting

 

Train your fighting rooster through hard work and patience illegal steroids and spurs and make money! (TBA)

 

Carnage

 

Hobo fights, Skyrim style. 3 vs 1 and you gain rewards for using environmental traps.

 

Backstreet Brawl

 

Got a problem with any fighter in particular? Settle your dispute in a dark alley at night. One condition: you both need to be smashed.

Yeah yeah yeah. When?

 

In 3 weeks.

This sounds like it's going to be fantastic-can't wait! :biggrin:

 

In my opinion the main thing most arena-style things in games lack is replayability. I would suggest maybe adding achievements to encourage players to redo the arena (cash rewards for beating normal achievements, maybe special items or something for beating super hard ones)

 

Edit: How's the Everything Patch going? I've been holding off playing Skyrim again for age waiting for your Perk Overhaul. :) (I'm a fan :P)

I was considering a kind of reputation/most wanted system where you can challenge the named contenders after reaching certain milestones. Item rewards are planned.

 

 

@edit: NIRN/Ordinator is on the backburner for now due to ApocRe. The most common question was "will it be compatible with SkyRe?" which indicates that SkyRe is pretty much the default choice for many people. But right now there are no good arena mods and I need to claim that niche before someone else does, making Ravengate much more time sensitive than Ordinator.

I remade the arena. It is now actually located underground below the Gray Quarter. It might not meet every Imperial building standard, but you can't have everything.
