Bioware's Anthem

Quoted for truth. A lot of games seem to follow this philosophy that men can never have a perky butt and that they all have butts that can barely be classified as a...butt.

Also if they're going to continue with ridiculous outfits for women, men should be in them too. 

I know, which is why we don't want male characters to be deprived of them

I'm not great at judging male butts, so I'll take your word for it (it is certainly form-fitting, so I can see that much), but I was thinking more about perkiness, like Kymira said. Still seems flat, though it is a shot from the back.


That's what I'm doing too

We're being spoken to by the most magnificent butt of all (alongside Jaal's), what an honour

Also I was thinking why would dudebros have a problem with a more feminine javelin? I mean I'd stare at the back all day if I had the option. Man these guys really don't like the female body it seems. Back in my day we played female characters just to stare at them.

Oh I was saying if they were gonna modify them depending on your gender.

Game Informer: John Warner Podcast, answering lingering Anthem questions.

- In traditional BioWare style, you won't always be in agreement with your crew. There is potential for conflict.

- Drew had a good impact on the game, though he was never the lead writer.

- Coming up with the name "Anthem" took a lot of work due to the sheer amount of copyrighted names out there. "Javelin" was on the list of alt-names.

- You will be able to see your character's face in the GUI.

- While they toyed with 1st person view in the environment, they opted to go 3rd person as seeing your javelin flying was more impressive.

- An example of an Event could be... a giant migration of creatures. He mentions "Irsics" (or something like that), which are gigantic, ape-like, insect creatures they apparently haven't shown yet. Another example might be a giant storm.

- Mini-games and activities outside of combat TBD.

- Brand new cast of voice actors.

- Daily / Weekly challenges. Sidequests. Repeatable quests.

- Scaling damage to allow LL & HL Freelancers to play together.

- Again emphasizing the verticality of the world.

- Javelins: Different personalization pieces (helmets, gauntlets, etc.) can be added, but don't offer any statistical difference, just cosmetic. Things like Armor stats are based on the type of suit and the perks you take as a Freelancer.

- No need to to return to base to "repair damage" to your Javelins. They experimented with that and found it was just too tedious.

- There are sniper rifles in the game... for now. (haha they better keep them in)

- Melee attacks are Javelin-specific, so no range of melee weapons to pick up.

- Storm Javelin: Light, agile, and deals a ton of damage.

- Ice damage will cool Javelin jetpacks... but it's still damage.

- No upgrades for the Strider (at launch at least).

- No upgrading your LL weapons to HL weapons.

- They want you to have reasons to continue tinkering with your suit & gear to meet different challenges. Diablo 3 was mentioned as something similar.

- Look forward to arguments over uber-builds...

- There will be some Raid-like content in the Elder Game that are not Strongholds.

- Customizable HUD.

- Next look at gameplay will be in the late summer. We'll learn more about the Interceptor then.

OK THE ULTIMATE ABILITIES ARE SXY. Also I love the Storm.
