Ever since ME3, it seems to have become a staple with BioWare that their games will feature multiplayer. ME3 had firefight/horde where one must survive consecutive waves of enemies and then reach extraction. DAI took a slightly different approach by having players work together to complete and overcome dungeon encounters. Why stop at just a separate multiplayer? Why not further incorporate that multiplayer into the single player experience?
What I'm referring to is cooperative play. Who wouldn't want to play along with a buddy in a large open world with so many possibilities? BioWare could take cues from Far Cry 4 and ACU. Cooperative play is incorporated to the point where a friend could participate in side quests, missions, or just exploring the world. The main story would be locked as it would be a solo experience only. This would make the experience that much more interactive, enjoyable, and the ability to share it with others.
That was a major criticism I've always had of Far Cry and AC, as they had large open worlds that were conducive to cooperative play. They made the jump and have been quite successful. With BioWare now going open world and incorporating more multiplayer, cooperative play seems only logical. What are everybody's thoughts on a cooperative experience? I personally believe it would be much better than ME3's multiplayer or DAI's. They are fine, but aren't as compelling as the single player because they are separate and don't contain the elements that make a BioWare game great.
I would love to see a seamless integration of cooperative play into the single player to truly give players the best of both worlds. It certainly would be easier for BioWare as they wouldn't have to create two separate experiences and instead just incorporate one into the other.
