New Game+ Is... Kinda Stupid.
I like the idea, the idea is great. However it seems really weird that they don't let you remake the character at all.
"Replay the game so you can do some new options and see more things, and get more power!... Oh, but you can't change your feats or anything to see how other feats play."

There are shops in which you can change the appearance of your character

Can you give me an example of a successful game in where the NG+ does allow you to completely recreate your character?

Yah, that does really blow (imo). I'd like to do NG+ and I'd like to do multiple playthroughs with different traits. Would have been freaking convenient to be able to combine those two things.

I didn't know about NG+ when I first started playing, and I made my first character with NO traits, figuring I could mess with them on future playthroughs. Then I found out about NG+. I restarted entirely after 60 hours of playing so that I could pick some traits.

Despite everything, it's still you.

If the game is fix on that, I have 2 other ideas: MODs and console. It is a workaround, but still.

I actually agree and I hope a mod comes out soon that addresses this. With NG+, for me, it's going to be quite a loop because I will be playing NG+ all the way to at least 10, if not more. It would be nice to be able to swap out backgrounds and feats somehow to get some of the extra flavor text/events since more of my time will be focused on NG+ than an actual NG. I actually restarted my playthrough of 50 hours just to make sure I had the traits and background I would be happy with for this loop.

Yeah NG+ is usually play the same game but easier cuz its your same build/character but from the beginning

The ENHANCE shops let you change gender, appearance and name. The only set in stone element of the character is perks which honestly seems fair as the intent is that you get them all eventually.

Before rushing through the game to play NG+, it's strongly advised to watch the video below first. But the short of it is: Don't rush through the game for NG+. It will spoil your experience!!!

That's not what this is about, but okay?

There is literally no reason to do NG+ ! The only reason to do NG+ is for those who want to min/max their character with maxing out all Artifact Powers. Which is a huge grind, requiring many NG+ runs.

If you are not interested in that (like me), you can just stick to the base game and stay in it forever! There is no level cap, so all skills can be eventually unlocked if you so desire. So you can build the best Outposts, the best ships, etc, etc.

Maybe after a good long while you get maybe a bit tired in your current game and would like to relive the story or just start over, but don't want to level from scratch.... then NG+ can be an option by then.

Just look at Cohh. He got literally screwed over by the streaming community to rush through the main campaign and start NG+ as soon as possible, as that is where the game was really supposed to begin.
He already put up two warning videos and deeply regretting it. Admitting he basically ruined the experience for himself.

Do you guys even read OP's or do you just walk into a room and start shouting? None of this post is complaining about NG+ as a mechanic, it's about not being able to change character creation things like backgrounds/traits.

More power? I play on Normal difficulty and everything is already super easy and boring, I don't even use medicine. WTF would I need "more power"??

There's two difficulties above "normal" if you didn't know that.

I mean, if you prefer normal, that's fine too. But you did say "boring" so I thought maybe you didn't like normal.

Loot is better the higher your difficulty (better chance of the higher rarities), so there's some incentive to it.
