> which I thought was a great movie (slightly behind brave heart but still very cool)... > anyways the whole "get in the ring" thing seems like a cool idea... its done somewhat in various places.. udgaard has a fight pit, the inn has a dueling room... but wouldnt it be cool to have a big arena... > it could take a ton of forms.... > either as a new area, where you choose to go solo or as a group (I like solo..) thru a various of tests, getting some sort of prize at various steps by competing against stronger and stronger mobs. Even younger characters could try because there could be different gradings.. just something (like a sign showing rank of next mob)reasonably obvious so people dont jump out of their league. > as just an area maybe controlled by the empire where people compete for the same reasons as they did in roman times, or as conan would say "To see your foes crushed and driven before you, and hear the lamenations of the women" (close enough?) > Even a new cabal that lives to fight one on oneto fight in the arena but dosent have any hangups about magic etc. > watcha think?
> Where prizes are offered by the empire (because someone in the arena is not fighting the empire... unless the emporer is stupid enough to jump in the ring with someone who is wading thru all his oponents)..
> Now I know this all dream stuff.. and I doubt the imms dont have something better to be coding...
