Considering we know almost nothing about Anthem, it's impossible to answer that question. It isnt impossible to speculate.

For all those saying that they are done with DA if DA4 is MP focused, what would constitute as MP focused? Would something like Anthem be MP focused for you? For me, anything that need me to play with another human being in my videogame, or even having people aroung in the map of my game that aren't NPC generated byt the game itself is MP, and is not enjoyable. This is concerning. At the core I believe DA4 will be a DP game, but I also believe that a lot of plot/story stuff will be gated through MP as well. Similar to how flashpoints/Heroics/Operations are in SWTOR. Yes, I can solo the game, but you cant solo Operations and Operations and many flashpoint/heroics offer interesting lore and story details that you can only get if you group up.

MP focused to me means anything where the game forces me to play with others instead of single player. Even doing 1 mission where you have to join outside players to complete that mission I am not interest in doing for DA. Am hoping they don’t go in that direction. If any SP items are gated behind MP If any SP content is gated behind MP. If a single line of dialogue, a single decoration, an outfit, an NPC vendor, a freaking CODEX ENTRY, is only available through unlocking via MP, that is too much.

I'm still quite annoyed by the DAI decor locked behind MP that I never got because NO WAY I'm going to give Sony money to play a modality I hate to get stuff for a different modality.

Yeah, I'm still not happy that the Dragon Decor in singleplayer is only requireable through multiplayer. It could at least have been made so it was also obtainable through singleplayer as well.

I'm probably not going to notice if DA4 items are locked away behind MP gates. In DA bonus items typically made the game worse. All they do is make an easy game even easier; you do the same stuff you did before but better. Not the case in ME, where DLC weapons offered different playstyles.

Well, yeah, but that doesn't necessarily mean much for the single-player content. Dragon Age already has a multiplayer component that can be safely ignored. and for all we know the next game will be the same. I have played DAI for upwards of eight hundred hours at this point and never touched the multiplayer, and all I'm missing is some tacky statues.

If it can be safely ignored, it gotta be stellar. Otherwise nobody is going to play it. Like the DAI one, 'cause seriously, who cares about some silly deco. Then, again, the whole of DAI is uninspiring anyway. Honestly, anything will be an improvement on DAI, MP or SP imo... Just a really weak game all around.

I am a DA2 girl in this franchise. But yeah, if they are to add MP and disengage it from anything in the SP, they better make it the second coming of the ME3MP.

I'd be giving it a try as I'm open to new things, it WILL however change the franchise cause certain elements WONT translate over well or they won't work at all. There's various examples of this as well, some games simply aren't fit to be multiplayer focused.
In the process of this, I'd also say Bioware has completely changed their identity from who they once were. They dabble in multiplayer sure but very rarely do they go all in on a multiplayer focused game.

You make your own character, there are numerous player races, there is crafting, stronghold, decorations, outfits and boss battles. DA3 is very much like a MMO with an SP campaign and the other users not sharing your world. If that MP mode was kicked off from a gathering Hub, and you'd see other people crossing the same areas you do, and diving into the instanced story-based areas, it would be a exactly like SWTOR except with a pause in combat. If they removed that pause...

That would be completely dumb for EA to do this since we already have Anthem (multiplayer game from BW). And there's The Witcher 3 and Horizon, two very successful rpg singleplayer games. And I don't think DAMP made a lot of $$$. It wasn't that popular. Still, I can expect everything from EA given how greedy they are.

If they removed that pause... Sounds similar to Guild Wars 2 which I like but wouldn't want BioWare to go in that direction for DA4. It would lose the story and character focus of the game too much. Did not lose anything from the character and story in SWTOR, in fact did have more focus on it than any SP game to date. Certainly, way more than the Inquisition, lol. Because Inquisition was not just like a MMO, it was like a really poor MMO.

Because Inquisition was not just like a MMO, it was like a really poor MMO. Thanks. So they have successfully combined the two mulitplayer and SP. Haven't played SWTOR. Do you need to play with others to complete the quests or the end boss? Nope. Not at all. You will see the others. That's the extent of it. There is really no end boss, the story is ongoing. It is a weird construct. First you have very long 8 individual class stories that take you through a bunch of planets showing you the war from the perspective of each class. Then the add-ons start narrowing it down. Makeb story is different for the Republic and the Empire. Then you just pick one character, your favorite pretty much and can do a bunch of expansions (they call it chapters) with him or her; there is conclusions to the class stories in one of those sections, but they are not worth it imo to take all 8 classes through it. Most of the group content allows you to go through it solo. There is tons of grinds you can do solo with just your companion for credits and stuff.

NO. Just no! You can't role-play in an MMO. Dragon Age games are about role-playing - not about being yet another iteration of the tired MMO genre.

Not necessarily a MMO, but a game that has a clear priority for multiplayer rather than single player. How excited would you be? How disappointed would you be? I would not buy it. Case closed. I'd be sad, but there would be no hysterics. I just would not buy it.
