NEW GAME +?

[El_Sama]

I want to start another playthrough but want to bring my items and money from the old playthrough, any mods that allow me to do so?

[4RastaLion20]

No mods on steam yet. I cant wait for the workshop support

You mean like "exporting" your character and then "importing" it to your new game, perhaps?

[Stumpy]

why would you want a new game plus. you might as well enable some cheat mods and steam roll over all the enemies.

That's not what a NG+ is.

The only game like this that had an actual NG+ of sort was Icewind Dale with its Heart of Fury mode.

An IWD2 Style heart of fury mode (new game+, high level and stronger enemies, same named items but better stats) could indeed increased replay value quite a lot.

NEW GAME + WOULD MAKE BG3 SO MUCH BETTER. OMG.

Starting the game with some selected items would really add a lot of replability.

Its also very easy to implement compared to adding a ton of new content.

I actually expect them to add this. Players like us just need to be loud about it on and let them know we want it.

Like me personally I would like to start with the items but not overleveled. So still starting at level 1.

Other people though might want to start a new game fully leveled.

But it would be great to have these New Game + options.

Not sure I see the point in it. You would be grossly overpowered and you would get bored.

Incorrect, the term was coined by Chrono Trigger, where the New Game + is almost exactly what OP describes: just restarting the game with your characters from the end of your other playthrough. Kinda curious how you decided something called "Heart of Fury" was supposed to be the same thing.

So will enemies. Hof or NG+ means enemies will be actually stronger compared to you, not weaker.

[El_Sama]

So those that dont know a modern new game + allows you to start with your old items and characters, and now the game is respec taking into account you are max level and so all enemies are max level from the get go or start very close to max level and scale to max level and beyond that.

A basic new game + allows you to bring old stuff from your old playthrough. WHy WOuld you do it? because it is fun, starting from 0 when you already put 150+ hours into the game is NOT fun at least not for me.

See that is your opinion though and not everyone else agrees with you.

If you read my post I would personally choose the options that just let me pick a few items to start the game with from the previous game.
This way I could start out at least with an ice ring or staff for my ice spells. That way the fun starts early for me.

Also its rather fun to just hop in and be OP.

So if you don't like it no problem you don't have to use it.

Im curious your opinion on the character respect in this game then.

As that is quite OP and defeats the purpose for the entire roleplaying game.
So for this reason I do not use it myself. But its there for people who want it.

It would also be nice if they had difficulties to complete where you could NOT use respect or new game plus. Kinda like a hardcore mode.

NG+ will make the game wonderfull

I genuinely wonder what's so good about NG+ ? If you get all the items from the past run, you're looking at level 1 armed to the teeth with legendary stuff that will trivialize the game till some very late Act 3 encounters? So.. what's the point?

Other games have it, so now it has just become expected.

I personally don't think it fits in with BG3. However, I'm not the final arbiter of all things, so....

[Davetiger]

Not that my 2 cents are worth anything but new game + doesn't have to change anything at all... just let me keep my main character (my custom one) with all stats and levels and gear and inventory and let me play back through... WHY ... wahhhh too easy? that's the damn point, I want to see what other choices do and what OTHER options I have and I don't need to go through and make the damn game stupid hard to watch the stories play out and I for sure don't need to start over from scratch it feels like "too much work" I want to enjoy a game here I worked hard to beat it the first time now I just want to coast through to see alternate events/choices and maybe even companions, without having to go here go there look that oh boo no +3 gear keep looking...NO just do the story do side quests because you want to not because you need the xp. I missed a lot my first playthrough and I didn't get some companions because I couldn't keep them alive through a fight they were ai controlled and did dumb crap in. Or because I blew up the factory BEFORE the inauguration so no chance to get that guy and couldn't get the other guy because I failed to save the druid lady or whatever the cat thing was.
