📋 About This Mod
Latest Version: 6. 7
May 9th, 2020
Before installing, make sure that you have the latest version of Morrowind (v1. 6820), and both Tribunal and Bloodmoon installed.
I strongly recommend The Morrowind Code Patch if you are playing on the vanilla engine.
I also recommend Patch for Purists for more bug free experience.
If you are using OpenMW, you should get Welcome to the Arena - OpenMW patch
With this mod, you can fight and bet for fights in the Vivec's Arena, just like in the the Imperial City Arena in Oblivion. To start your journey, talk to one of the arena masters in their bloodworks about "Join the arena". You need to be at least level 10 to join. After joining, you can fight in rank related matches or against monsters. Just ask about this from your arena master and off you go!
List of features:
- There are 25 rank related battles. From a lowly Pit Dog all the way to become the best: the Grand Champion of the Arena.
- After you've been made the Grand Champion, there are still champions that are after your title. You can fight these champions once a week.
- You can fight against arena monsters once a day. Up to three monsters at once.
- There are fans watching and cheering in the pit when you fight in there. Fans appear also during the other fights in the arena. Against the Arch-Mage, the ArchMagister of Redoran, Garding the Bold and the Knight of the Imperial Dragon. Also during one of House Redoran's quest, whitch name i don't remember.
- If you are a gambling type, you can bet on fights. Only you have to do, is to speek to Cocius Coloni in the pit (between 10 am. to 6 pm.).
- During ranking matches and champion fights, there will be spikes placecd in the edges of the pit and yes, they will hurt you when you run/jump at them.
- Some of the fights are "unique" in their own way. Be prepared for these. You have been warned!
- Ask other arena teammates to join you in team fights. They will level up if you win the fight with them (max 4 times). You can also give potions and scrolls to them, change combat tactics and ask various questions from them.
- You can ask other NPC's (excluding guards, transportation npcs, arena fighters, king, queen mother, some of the important quest givers, slaves, ashlanders and npcs with NoLore) to a fight to the death! If they hate you, they will accept it. But be prepared! It may look like they might be wearing nothing, but if they have skills, they WILL bring some equipment to help them! In order to get the "-Challenge" topic, talk to people of Vivec about the "Arena" to get that topic.
- An unique options stone placed on each bloodworks that enables you to:
