I suspected this. And after all it's better to look at the Tempest than a black screen?
I have the game installed on an HDD so I guess it's ok.
Some games are extremely fast loading. I remember Fallout 4 before they patches it. The maps loaded almost immeadiately. I guess it's all about good scripting?

Possibly. I noticed that Dragon Age Inquisition loads a lot of assets on the spot, which was a problem for me when I first played the game in 2014. Sometimes companion characters wouldn't be at their spot because they hadn't loaded in yet, so you had to leave the room and come back for them to pop up. The issue got away when I upgraded my graphics hardware and switched to an SSD.
I also noticed that load times in Frostbite games are significantly longer when Mantle is enabled as the API instead of DirectX. EA doesn't seem to use Mantle anymore, however, probably because it's an AMD feature and very few people use it.
Some more load time shenanigans that I found in Dragon Age Inquisition: 1. Disabling Origin in-game can make the initial startup take over a minute. 2. Applying a shortcut command to increase the framerate in cutscenes has the welcome side-effect of significantly reducing load times.
I didn't have any load time issues in Andromeda once I applied to shorter cinematic mod. Anthem, on the other hand, is a bit of a joke in that respect. Maybe I could try the Inquisition trick, but I have no interest in reinstalling Anthem, so I won't bother.
