@biomarkdarrah Can Fort Tarsis be upgraded visually like Skyhold was in DAI?

Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah
Fort Tarsis will change visually based upon missions you do.
We won't have decoration like Skyhold
At least not at launch.

Skyhold had decorations? Wow, Mark, must have occurred after I stopped playing the game. .... (I'm sarcastic here.... the renovations were pitiful).

What the...

Is it within our universe? Could you jump on the Normandy, fly a billion light years, and reach that planet? Or is it an alternate universe?

Darrah: Well… that’s not really a question we have answered.

Gamble: We didn’t design Anthem to be part of a BioWare continuum universe.

Darrah: I would say that, the way the Anthem of Creation works means that connecting Anthem to other BioWare games is actually a lot easier than it was in the past.

Gamble: It is actually theoretically, in the I.P., possible to have the entire Mass Effect universe within a Shaper Storm.

You are the one with the bad eyes.

SWTOR is a full MMO with all the multiplayer features that goes with it that Anthem doesn't have: social hubs, player chat everywhere, player trading, PvP, party larger than 4 players, more than your party seen on maps, instanced areas to avoid other players taking your kills and stuff, etc.

MEMP/DAMP with a story is much closer to how Anthem works than SWTOR is. I'm not sure why people have problem understanding that Anthem is just a simple co-op game.

The concept is very close to ghost recon wildlands, though with that game your "party" was always 4 with AI filling in the blank spots.

Though with a story-driven hub world.

It is specific to the Javelin, but it is something we are going to look into after launch.

Yes, but the "starting" happened several months ago.

The short-hand notion of "ME3MP reversed" only applies to high-level design intent, not the details of actual gameplay. Don't take that too literally. All it really means is that most of the design emphasis is on the MP components of the game, with the story stuff layered on top -- or bolted on the side, depending on your glass half full/empty response to the info we know to date.

In, for example, DAIMP, the MP part isn't really connected to the SP story at all, where there is a little bit more connection between MP missions and "solo" story (I won't call it SP, that's going too far) in Anthem. Not much more, but a little bit more. For example, if you do something in Your Story (Fort Tarsis, Strider) that pisses off one of your NPC crew, the radio chatter you hear in an MP mission from that NPC might be hostile in tone, instead of neutral or friendly.

I really don't agree with the MEMP comparison. In format Strongholds are much more similar to Flashpoints than the simple co-op matches of MP from previous Bioware games. Even the focus on story, during Fort Tarsis, reminds me more of The Old Republic.

And the answer, quite obviously, is not until the character artists complete all those Interceptor and Storm [redacted] Butt Adjustments.

Don't just expect … demand [Epic] Butt Adjustments^TM.
