NG+ is disappointing

[Pandemic]

I love the game and i had a lot of fun playing it. but starting a NG+ was disappointing for me...you are not able to skip cutscenes, starting without any skills, enemies have same HP/damage. you will only carry cosmetics. there is no good reason to do a NG+ imo.
I wish it would be like dark souls.

what do you think?

yeah amd even then u cant use the skin in the normal game...

When you start a NG+ game you can use the inquisitor skin right from the start? Atleast thats what i did.

Or did you mean something else?

i mean that you only can use the inquisitor skin in ng+ and no where else...or does it get unlocked for all saves after playing ng+

Ah no, only when you play NG+.

The "NJ+" feels totally worthless, you get a cool skin sure, but you have none of the freedom you expect to get out of a NG+. We should definitely have all our abilities unlocked, so that we can explore easier from the start and find secrets we might not have gone back for. other than that, not much replayability other than the meditation room, which if you have already started your NJ+ is worthless unless you progress through the story again.

Starting over with all skills would be far too OP.

Even the hardest setting is extremely easy.

That's why is called NEW JOURNEY PLUS! They could even unlock some basic skills, like more life or force to start, without the powerful moves.

I think what they mean is that, the enemies in NG+ also should be pumped up so that the game is and even bigger challange than the first time around, even tho you would keep all your skills.

And what exactly is there to pump up? All you can do is simply increase damage and their hp but that would mean you get 1 shot by almost everything, which is OP in its own way.

But if you dont put in a new high level balance to the game you can just start over without new game plus and its all the same ;p

Not saying you are wrong :P just saying they didnt put any thought in the NG+ except for the 1 custom and 1 color crystal you can get.

My first play-through was grand-master, I was hoping it would get harder.

[Pandemic]

atleast they should have give us the option to skip the cutscenes

How dumb is this development team. We asked for NEW GAME PLUS NOT NEW JOURNEY PLUS. Freakin delinquents. I wanted to do a play through with all my abilities unlocked not play the entire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing again the exact same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ way. Idiots.

If you want to start a New Journey+ but keep your powers and skills, try these saves.
https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsjedifallenorder/mods/131

"Fully Unlocked" save gives you everything right off the bat (story progression will be a mess, but it's playable and you shouldn't get stuck.

"Partially Unlocked" only gives you the double bladed saber, split attacks, Life/Force Essences, and combat skills. You'll have to unlock Force Powers, BD1 Upgrade and traversal equipment (rebreather/claws) through normal story progression.

Hope they'll alleviate your issues with the very lacking New Journey+ mode.

Well good on you for finding a way to do it for those that are throwing a fit over this. Good luck on that broken progression though. and maybe bugs because of the game being designed around progression unlocks.

Alas, there's no way around the broken progression (with the "Fully Unlocked" save). Some scripts and mission objectives trigger when you own a Force Power, or sometimes when you receive a Force Power. For example, the Bounty Hunter who captures you to Ordo Eris doesn't spawn... so you're missing that chapter.

However, despite trying my best, I couldn't get the game to soft lock and get stuck. You can complete late-game objectives, then return and complete earlier parts you skipped - the game will pick up and assign new objectives. I'm impressed by how well the game manages to hold together and stay nearly entirely playable.

If story progression is really important to you, the Partially Unlocked save (should) fully preserve it, while still giving you early access to toys & skills.
