Ant, as the optimistic person in the know, any ideas on if Sq 42 is going to have a branching storyline where you can fail a mission or characters die, and the story will progress or adjust accordingly like WC1, or is it more on rails like WC3?

I don't know. But CIG never talked about branching storyline. Personnaly I think there is none, CR should have talked about it.

Ant's answer is wrong there. Chris & co absolutely have discussed SQ42 as having branching narratives.

And there have been suggestions that they're still working towards that:

2019 said:
Updates to performance capture and in-cockpit scenes are currently being swapped from the narrative placeholders to more polished final representations that support branching conversations, reputation, and player actions.

2021 job offer said:
You’ll be developing scenes with multiple branching options, deep and emotional narrative, and exciting action.

But as with all things CIG, it all sits neatly inside this formula:

Is it planned? Yes
Is working in game? No

;)

Like, is SQ42 still co-op capable as planned? Does it still have open world sections with a working economy and faction statuses as planned? Etc etc. Whether all of the features that have been mooted over the years are still in play is pretty unclear.

Guess we'll find out some decade or other ;)

LOOOOOOOL, the game barely pre-released and those are the already available mods:

This is going to be an insanely rich mod environment. Planets, ships, modules, quests, graphical enhancements, total conversions... you name it. A story DLC is already announced BTW.
