Depending on how loose one wishes to define "arena", it could be said TW2 already had a couple.



I honestly don't have much an issue with arenas so long as they're well implemented, plausible or (barring the aforementioned) minimal/optional.

What isn't a cliché in an rpg? Taverns? Dungeons? Towns? Brothels?

I have to agree with you here… But don't forget dragons, they're the ArrPeeGee cliche staple of choice these days.
