Anthem Twitter Thread

Ah, right. I don't know what I was thinking. What was that Aaron Flynn "carefull..." tweet referring to then?

Well Bioware is trying diversify it's game release line up.

I mean, hell, Shattered Steel is their first game and they developed MDK2 straight after Baldur's Gate. And they also created Sonic Chronicles for Nintendo DS. And Mass Effect 1 was also a very not-Bioware game at the time.

Every once in a while, Bioware releases a game that does not look it belongs to Bioware line up.

My primary takeaway here is that increased mobility looks fun AF and I want it in DA4 but I'm not sure how.

OK, it's great to wake up to Anthem being playable solo and having a BioWare story, it definitely gets me on board. Still so far away though, I fear now a long-ish drought of news is coming.

Good to know I'm not the only one who heard that, I was wondering if it was just me being sleepy. 

It's nice to hear that you can play the game solo and that it has a "bioware story" but I'm still a bit ??? about what that actually means in this case? There's just a lot of questions running through my head.

Are there going to be companions? It didn't look like there were dialogue options, is that not going to be a thing? Is there a character creator? Is the game actually going to be story-DRIVEN with a strong narrative?

Probably not as bad.

This time around, you can wait to play ME:A future DLC's and still active and supported Co-Op while waiting for Anthem.

Unlike with ME:A where there was nothing from Bioware September of 2015.

Now that the fact that you can play solo has been addressed, this is possibly my biggest concern. I play plenty non RPG games, so I can live with BioWare doing something new and releasing a game with a totally linear narrative and no dialogue system, but games where you play random dudes who shoot things are definitely not made for me, I need some kind of connection with the characters, even if as shallow as in,  to name one, Borderlands.

I think the only thing I think has low chances to be in are the companions, since it'd heavily change the game based on how you play it, solo or in company. I think there are good chances there'll be important characters in the game, but they won't be the ones going with you in missions. There might be bots instead of real people with you around (although the trailer didn't suggest that), but I don't think they'll be real npcs, in the sense you can talk to them. Maybe I'm wrong though.

A thing to consider is that the game, even if an rpg and with a Bioware type of story, it still seem very different from their traditional games, so I think it's better to not expect any of the traditional elements until they're announced.

Which I don't have a problem with. They're saying (and they said for a while) that it'll be a very different game from their previous ones, so expectations should be different. I don't see nothing wrong in wanting to make a different type of game. I just hope that they'll put the same aumont of effort on their other games, as they seem to have done with this in terms of animations and graphic details.

I don't see how. They specifically said that to go outside the hubs the humans in the world need to use the suits. 

The suit aren't optional. They are the "classes" of the game. There seems to be 3 types of Javeline: wizard-type (?), heavy hitting/tank (colossus) and "balanced" (ranger).
