Dragon Age you can play solo, Mass Effect you have to have two squadmates.

We may have misled you here. It was my understanding that you could play Dragon Age alone. Just tested Dragon Age Inquisition - yes I can go it alone. Testing Mass Effect (1) now, I cannot leave the Normandy without 2 companions. Ah, dang. Oh well. I played DAI and didn't now you could do it in that game, either! Although I'm pretty sure my squishy Rogue Inquisitor would have some issues out in the wilds alone.Maybe at first, but later you can take down high dragons in mere moments alone.

Sure, but I was just talking about universal ingame mechanics. The only time you can play solo in Mass Effect is when the game requires you too, like for example the Arrival DLC.

Master the Deflect skill and literally NOTHING can touch you. Not arrows, not spells, not blades. Combine with some fade-touched guard materials and rogues are damn near invincible.

Well I am confused 🤔😣
I thought it might be like Diablo where there can be a bunch of people playing at the same time, but not necessarily with you... I only tried that once briefly. I have never played multiplayer game so dont really know much about them. I was prepared to try this game even though it is not my type of game, but now I am not sure. It seems you need a team to get anywhere. Guess I'll have to wait and see.

Think Star Wars The Old Republic. You can do story solo or with other people (most player do it solo) but flashpoints and operations require a team.

That's probably the closet analogy I and think of to. However... “The encounters are set up for four players,” says lead producer Ben Irving. “That’s where the fun is, and they’re built with that teamwork in mind.”Yet this statement makes a mockery of saying the story can be soloed though apparently it can. I for one want to see proof of that not just be told. I'm very cynical about Anthem and forcing us to play in groups is not cool and that is what I feel Bioware is trying to do. I do hope I'm wrong about that but the way they've been marketing Anthem thus far leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. Trying to dictate to your potential player base how they play your game is not a smart move I'd have thought.

I am almost sure they said the same regarding SWTOR, about how you would be able to enjoy the story with your friends and etcetera (would need to look at articles from 2011 or before to know for sure).
But anyway, Anthem is a online game this is to be expected when Bioware is advertising it. Imagine how strange it would be selling a online game but not talking about online features.
But they, as well, said time and again you can complete story path solo. One thing doesn't exclude the other.

Playing solo offered some challenge. You had to gear up to survive. Then the introduced free to play and had to make everything easy for f2p players that weren't allowed to use the best gear. Now you can solo flash points and, I suspect, you could do the entire story wearing crap gear. Or naked. *challenge accepted*

Free to play when they released was more like a demo with the huge number of limitations in place, you would need to turn Preffered Status by buying Cartel Coins to unlock things like using better itens or the companions jobs to be able to better enjoy the game. It was a smart move on their part i think.
Anyway, good thing Anthem doesn't have the same class division.

I'm not sure if I'd do that with any of my female toons. The skimpiest outfit I have is Mira's Armour set. As much as I'd like one of the dancers outfits they're so expensive....

I don't think they are but that's just my feeling on the matter. Indeed. And you have every right to not like the game because of it.
Me myself, I will hold out judgement until I see it in the works. I'm curious, to say the least, and hope it works well. It's weird to say but I like playing with randos.
I prefer playing with randos. Friends I feel social pressure to do quests with at times I'd rather be solo, or quests have no desire to do yet, like dungeons I haven't completed the story path to get to yet or something.

Randos help keep content fresh. One time you're struggling to keep up with some elite guys sweeping through the content in record time, the next you're stuck being the expert and trying to shepherd a flock of noobs through to the end.
