That's about the best summation I have seen. Well said, Kylania.
As naive as this may seem, I am STILL optimistic that Ubi could reverse a lot of the negativity concerning this implementation by putting something beneficial into this online-connect requirement. Sophisticated AI is one possibility, in my opinion.
Imagine escorts, all sorts of surface vehicles for that matter, spawned with variable capabilities and AI instruction originating outside of your own PC-resident game code. Never knowing exactly what you would be up against when scoping out a convoy, and no longer having the capability to globally control the enemy's abilities with mods. That would go a long way toward putting the thrill (terror?) factor into SH5 that was never achieved with prior releases.
Let's not burn the witches. Why not instead encourage them to create something really spectacular?
