Everything we know about Anthem

Interesting. I hadn't really understood that detail before. That is a factor I'll have to consider for the Critpath. I tend to use a fairly slow pace for the main quest of most SP games, doing side quests and just exploring in between main quest stages. If I'm not ready to progress the Critpath yet, I'm going to have to turn down invites for the next stage.

I don’t think you will, but you might know the name of the next stage for where you are at in the critpath. So if someone invites you to help find The Lost Arcanist, and you know that’s the next stage you’ve been putting off, it’s decision time.

I think it’s a safe assumption that an invite to a Mission or Stronghold will include its name.

@benirvo will we have A LOT of storage for gear (with all the different load outs) and crafting?

I *think* there are 300 slots

I like that you're not locked into a particular Javelin for the duration of the game. I find, in a game like this it makes more sense to be open-ended and have choice than to be locked into one thing. Because let's not forget Players, we, are not our Javelins, we are Pilots and the Javelins are like our military Jets (in the sense that they are machines which you climb into and fly. It would be helpful if over the span a pilot's career, if he had training to fly various jets. It would also be helpful if he/she could learn different skills and abilities, like NOTN7 said above (Tradiontal RPG roles of Tank, Mage, Rogue Suppport) and perform varying roles for different missions depending on what the mission parameters are.

Now speaking of switching stuff around, I think most here would agree that we used most accustomed to traditional RPGs from Bioware where you select your 'class' at the beginning of the game (ME: Soldier, Adept, Vanguard etc. DA: Warrior, Rogue, Mage) and you play as that for the whole game. Admittedly, when I first heard that for Andromeda that you would be able to combine skills and abilities from what were traditionally different classes, I was uneasy about it- even put off by it (because I thought, "No, that's not how Mass Effect is done. That's not an RPG, that's cheating in a sense and it takes away the challenge of sticking with the choice you made") But, once I played Andromeda and tried that feature out a few times, I began to like it and find it useful. Personally I still stick to one class as much as possible and spec my Ryder out in that one class as much as I can...But there are times when I might take one or two skills from a different branch.

That being said, I am glad that for ANTHEM, they are giving us flexibility to interchange stuff.

Yes, Charlie I see your point. For Inquisition, I do switch playable characters/companions depending on how the battle is going, and that is true in doing so you do get to as you say "sample each class". I never thought of it that way, but you're right.

Paraphrase of Ben Irving:

Repair is 1-on-1, doesn't help to add more repairers. In respawn restricted areas, there's no timer to repair, down player stays available for repair until someone repairs or the full squad is wiped.

Will Anthem support Nvidia's Raytracing at launch?

Michael Gamble @gamblemike
Nope

I asked because Battlefield V supported it, and Nvidia made a big deal about the improvements they made to it during their CES stream. So you never know, they made add support for it somewhere down the line...

No idea...

Huh...if it runs on DirectX 11, why is Win 10 required?

Well, guess I won't be playing it after all.
