I wonder (three vivec arena matches at onc?)

Post by blockhead »

I wonder what happens if you, though very bad timing, get the quest to fight the head of the Imperial Legion, the fight against Treboneus and the fight to become Redoran leader all at once. What happens when you enter the arena? Do all three appear when you enter that interior? Does the game explode?

In my current playthrough I was supposed to fight the head of the Imperial Legion, but I didn't want to do it right away, so I decided to resume work on House Redoran instead. Without realizing ahead of time what would happen, I went to talk to the head of House Redoran and found myself challenged to another duel in the Arena.

When I went to the Arena, I was afraid that both challengers would fight me at the same time, but instead only one of them was actually there-- I forget which one, but I think it was for House Redoran. I managed to beat him, but couldn't loot everything from his corpse and carry it all (because I was already weighed down with a lot of other stuff), so I left to go sell or store what I could.

When I returned to get the rest of the loot, the other guy was waiting for me and I had to fight him.

So my guess is that if you're supposed to fight more than one person in the Arena, the game will spawn only one of them at a time, and won't spawn the next person until you leave the Arena and come back. But this was the first time I'd ever gotten into that situation, so my theory would need to be tested to see whether I'm right or wrong.

No, the game won’t explode... but your character might!

Atttempt #2. Thank you, forums, for randomly logging me out so that I lose my message text. That really just makes me day every so much better.

Anyway:
@SeaGtGruff - thank you. That makes sense. Makes me want to try it, now. :D

EDIT: I tried it. worked exactly as you said. It was funny. :)
