"DA" and "ME" have history and the fanbase that would support the game have certain expectations that, if not met, would likely doom it failure. So, despite the prognostications, I just don't see either franchise turn into an "Anthem" clone regardless of the level of it's success. This argument is why I think it was best for Anthem to be its own unique IP, rather than bastardizing one of BioWare's other existing franchises. Just look at how much shit Fallout 76 has gotten.

Yes, they crossed the line for me a while ago. I just hope they cross back over to my side again, rather sooner than later.

Oh, you mean they're not? I too thought they'd give it to players who owned the previous ME games. I mean, I don't know. I just saw all the other comments here that talk about buying it, so I assumed that they are selling it. Oh, sorry. I don't know if the N7 armor will be free or sold. I don't think that has been announced. Even if it is sold, there will still be the opportunity to grind coin for it, so we should all be able to have it eventually if we want.

Yep, they definitely dodged the "Fallout 76/Diablo Immortal" bullet in that regard.

Plus, they already have ESO as one of their dedicated MMO/Online games anyhow. Really curious what they're next E3 press conference is gonna look like; if they even have one.

Yes, they crossed the line for me a while ago. I just hope they cross back over to my side again, rather sooner than later. Hopefully but it's hard to say. It definitely sounds like "Anthem" isn't your type of game regardless if fans of that genre enjoy it. I don't like first person shooters so, despite my strong interest in "The Outer Worlds" and "Cyberpunk", my enthusiasm is tempered by the fact it's a play-style I don't enjoy. I was able to overcome this aversion for "Wolfenstein II" and "Dishonered" but those might be rare exceptions. I am an optimist so I have hope that "The Dread Wolf Rises" learns from some the weaker aspects of "DA:I" and that the next "Mass Effect" is given the narrative/development effort it deserves as opposed to languishing in the video game equivalent of "development hell".

Even though Anthem is not those things, I think I will still enjoy it.

I hope you do! I still intend to at least try it when there is a free demo available on Origin. I feel confident 2 hours of free gametime will be enough to make a good decision. As others have mentioned, it is not the type of game I normally gravitate to. I also am saddened by CP2077 not being 3rd person, but I hope it makes me say @fuckit and play anyway.

There's a vinyl being sold apparently:

I will say Anthem felt damned awkward for the first few hours and I wasn't sure I liked it. But after the first demo was over I couldn't stop thinking "oh, when I play next time.... wait, when did I decide to play again?" And after the second demo I was pretty much sold. So you might have to give it more than a couple of hours. I hope you try it.
I'm undecided on CP2077. Cyberpunk has never been a favorite genre of mine and 1st person perspective is also not a favorite of mine. However, once upon a time I thought I'd only play isometric games and look at me now.

I don’t think Anthems success will affect DA and ME that much.

They've already said DA is moving to live service. That doesn't mean it won't have a substantial SP component, but you can bet it will have a substantial MP component.

So does anyone feel like those selections that are available for 10 days on the MTX Store are going to be enough to entice gamers to spend enough money to support this game going forward?
Personally I think they went with the least offensive version of the store they could for the first 10 days of launch.
Of course there is a chance that there are thousands of people that will buy every items off that page.
