Ask a Destiny player

They expanded to three in the Taken King expansion, it looks like they're revamping them entirely in the sequel.

Well, they are good bonuses if you want to play as a duo only and not go to 4M. I think I will watch for any information for specific features intended for couples as well as solo players. So far I was unable to even get my hubby to see the trailer, but I am sort of hoping that Colossus thing will appeal to him.

Nope, they said character appearances carry over if you are at least level 20 and completed the vanilla story, but we lose everything else. They even have a story reason to explain why, but the real reason is because they're totally revamping the systems.

I don't know, but if it's tied to your account rather than console specific data it should be possible.

It's actually a good thing that Destiny (main game) was weak on story. That's where Bioware can come in and do a much better job.

Far more important than what similar games have done or not done with story in the past is, how does the gameplay itself enhance or detract from story and character building? How does drop-in co-op help/hurt storytelling? Or the Fort T hub? Or the mission structure for a Freelancer? Or capability being tightly bound to a Javelin suit? For example, is a story completely agnostic about what Javelin you happen to be wearing, or is the story influenced by what Javelin you are wearing? Either option has profound implications.

SWTOR had next to no account bound benefits and gear at release. It seems to be the features most grinders open up after about a year into the game, to keep the leet from leaving. I would be very surprised to see account bound XP/gear perks at release. Pleasantly so.

I think I'm at around 1500 hours in Destiny.

You can select the difficulty level when selecting a level. Same with the Division. You get better loot for doing the harder stuff.

I imagine there will be daily and weekly resets on bounties, strike type missions, daily missions, and raid style missions

Destiny is not that much fun playing solo. Playing with a group is a ton of fun. Best community experience in gaming IMO. Have built some pretty awesome friendships with people across the globe and locally.

It's all about the loot and gear/weapon collecting and customization.

Bioware relationships and dialogue wheels won't fit or it will be really interesting to see how they fit when you are mostly going to be playing with a group or grinding through missions for loot and experience.

I don't use anything outside PlayStation party chat. Game chat usually sucks in terms of quality and it party chat automatically mutes ransoms. If I want to talk to them, I'll send them a party invite

Anthem seems a lot more seemless than Destiny which is a good thing.

I really hope there are raids with special rare loot like destiny. This is the best pve experience in the game. Having a gladiator arena like the prison of elders would be awesome too
