Anthem News Update | EVERYTHING We Know So Far [BioFan Video]

Hey! Glad to see a new video! Can't wait to see all of your Anthem content! I miss Andromenerds, though. 😞

Color me skeptical at how "solo-friendly" this game will be.

We'll see, I'm intrigued by what i've seen but I really want them to outline how the story will be presented, dialogue choice (just please assuage my fears about whether there will be any, I don't see any indication that there won't be but I worry), and character customization.

I actually think the entire interior part of that demo was a mock up cutscene rather than an actual player controlling the character, given the lack of UI and animations of the player's hands touching he environment in passing. So I don't think it's necessarily representative of much except that we'll probably be in first person in the hub.

As I've said a few times already. I have no interest in the game at this time. Once more information and gameplay is released, I might change my mind. For now, its a wait and see

When they say you can play the entire game solo, they mean you can play the game solo if you don't want any of the cool loot.

If it is first person in the hub then it’s a definite no buy from me.

Or if you don't mind dying over and over and over and over and over....

That's kinda the point of forums

My speculation is that we could have two hub areas in Fort Tarsis. One will basically be Skyhold, a nexus for the story and a place for talking with characters. I suspect that we'll have a "squad" of characters similar in role to the advisors in a Inquisition (But hopefully with more dialogue), characters who we can talk with and get to know despite not accompanying us on missions. For example, a mechanic that aids in the upkeep of our mechs or some kind of handler. These sorts of characters could still have a "radio" presence on missions. There could also be NPC freelancers with a role in the story that we could meet both in the fort and outside it, though not characters we could actually take with us on missions.

The second hub would be shared with other players, filled with vendors, bounty boards, and other activities that give players reason to congregate, since that seems to be something there is a demand for.

It was perfectly solo-able for the most part. It was just boring as H-E-doublehockeysticks.

I'm hoping what they showed off was mostly to entice a new audience and there's companions somewhere lol

It is not an uncle Biover's game if it doesn't have helpful Bullet sponges Companions to hang and bang play psychologist.
