POLL | Open world. Yes or No? Then, how?
Hello, mob.
Just a bit curious to know your opinions on this subject. The main point that might have been responsible for an entire rework on ME franchise is going Open World. Critics have debated...

Yes if it is done properly, however looking at the current state of MEA, think it's just too much for them to handle. It's clearly quantity at the sacrifice of quality, making their open world filled with crappy fetch quest. I enjoyed playing me2/me3's short 30-40hr game play more than 100hrs of this.
So Yes to a properly done open world, but No if they cant manage. I would rather play a good ME4(as in a continuation of the ME3 style) than MEA.
I like open worlds, but I hear enemy scaling becomes a pain as you hit lvl 100

This would be nice, but it would also be nice if the worlds somehow reflected your work and increased
i do like the idea of colonies starting small, and growing over time, completed side missions, planet viability, or all of the above. maybe once a colony has some infrastructure, you can have it producing useful things, like specific weapon mods, specific types of research points, or something.

The enemy never stop scaling up.
So at level 100,you are fighting level 100 enemies as a level 80.
I would miss the open world aspect of ME:A most with the Nomad. I like the open areas with bounding and running over odd bits of fauna and enemies. They had a pretty good balance of openness and channeling with the first mission - but didn't have to incorporate the Nomad The forward stations minimize the retreading the same old ground - but don't eliminate it.
Maybe if the maps were designed more with a central fairly open area and missions were more in geographical coves and alleyways off the central open world? The map would probably look silly from an aerial perspective but it wouldn't look bad from first person perspective.
I like the open world feel and being able to just cruise around on big areas with the Nomad.
What I don't like in such a big open world is only being able to track 1 mission at a time. That should be at least 3. Just tracking one at a time creates a sort of tunnel vision for me instead of enjoying the wide expanses as I would.
