NG+ Please

[Agent47_96]

With a game as wonderful as this, I was kinda disappointed that there was no NG+. I mean all those countless hours looting and getting all the good gear just to get slapped in the face with "You gotta start a new campaign if you wanna run it again" I would understand that main quest weapons and items would have to be removed that were vial to the story but having to start completely over kinda sucks. Or have the ability to free roam after would be nice. But mainly a new NG+ that would be awesome. I hope the studio considers this as a update in the future. Overall it was an amazing game to play.

Not sure how that would work. Especially, if you consider starting NG+ with already being max level and nothing actually driving you to complete the game without the or one of the driving forces that keeps one playing.

Besides, NG+ in itself really doesn't make any sense in a CRPG, in my opnion. Yet, it worked for Wticher 3 but I don't remember if there is a max level to begin with, despite having done a NG+ run myself.

Deadfire has a nice system where you can collect some kind of points and then use them for future playthroughs to get boosts, or not if you prefer not to.

I find your comment pretty ironic, due to Baldurs Gate (1 & 2) having an NG+ since the get go.

Same with Icewind Dale, and Neverwinter Nights. Planescape: Torment is the outlier when it comes to NG+ here.


As for "how would it work", probably the same way as those games; Importing\exporting your character as it currently is (level and gear).

Game becoming more difficult with 'NG+', is a more a soulslike thing, than an RPG thing. Most RPGs with NG+ has always been a power-fantasy 'reward' for when you beat the game (Infinity and Aurora engine games being an exception, as import\export is available from the get go).

Honestly this would be pretty cool if it just bumped up all the enemies to fit level 12 encounters. I'd imagine your level wouldn't increase beyond 12, tho if they wanted to expand it to level 20 this would be a way to do so (but level 20 is a little jank in 5e, so I'd be satisfied with keeping it as is too.)

Not needed, it would get boring super fast for being held at lvl 12.

It doesn't matter that you don't see need for it. If someone wants to steamroll the game as a max level character... or run a full on prestige leveled character, let them! Not everyone cares about the increased scaling difficulty so it still feels difficult.

There's no point to NG+ in BG3, what we really need is a Dungeon Editor.

There was a request for an import/export character system to let people share their builds or save a copy of their own for another campaign. This could tie into that.

How GM mode will work is anyone's guess... if it'll happen, but some think it's on the way. A character import/export feature would work well with a GM mode.
