Problems that Keep Anthem from Being Great

Inconsequential Dialogue Choices

Problems

BioWare is its own worst enemy when it comes to Anthem’s characters and the dialogue options presented. When you have the caliber of games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age under your belt, it’s hard not to be disappointed with the characters in this game. At most you’re only ever given two answers to a question, and both seem to lead to the same conclusion.

Gone are the days of picking from an extensive list of branching narrative trees and having to live with those choices. In Anthem, whatever option you choose will always get you from point A to point B.

Nothing carries any weight to it, and while some of the stories help to flesh out the world of Bastion a little more, it does almost nothing to keep the momentum going.

Anthem has free story content coming in March, and I hope it brings more engaging characters and dialogue options with it.
