Another NG+ Question

[Kasa]

So far I'm having a mediocre time with SF, not great but not terrible truly mid.

But with that in mind I still want to finish the game, so here is my question.

Should I rush the main quest then download a NG+10 save and use THAT to do all the side quests and the MQ again?

Do the side quests change at all on ng+? Does anything change on NG+10 or is +10 exactly the same as NG+ in terms of story content?

I don't actually care about max powers and ship as so far I'm playing on max difficulty and the game is still pathetically easy.

[Schlumpsha]

NG+ has two choices. Either doing the privious main quest all over again. Or do a different/altered main quest. Your choice.

I'm currently on NG+2 and from what I've read the things that get randomized start at NG+3 (these randomizations include, but are not limited to, one or more (or all) Constellation members being dead, some other side quest NPCs have changes, and some dialog options for quests get changed up to a degree.)

The NG+ doesn't really have an actual point. I finished all ten, and there is nothing new in there except for the stupid grind for the powers and the ship, which is worst then the one you can construct yourself. So if you need that, you can download the save, if not, you can finish everything in one go and uninstall this mess, you won't miss anything

Ok so it's a good idea to do the side quests in the first game and then feel free to speed run up to NG+3.

Thanks, that's more or less what I want to know.
I feel bad I'm not having MORE fun with the game but it's still fun ENOUGH.

mackrealiv said that it's HG+3 stuff starts changing a bit, have you not experienced anything like that?

I would not push to NG+, but instead explore the game before doing that. One thing you might do is push the story a ways until you have some of the more useful abilities. They're fun and can be helpful at times (but not required).

It sounds like he just rushed the main quest and didn’t touch anything else. That’s the only feasible way to get NG+10 at this point

Its more like a ester egg then the actual addition to the game. Something random might happened in the lodge, but it doesn't really worth the troubles, and the story won't really change in any way

Ehhhhhhh, atm I'm already curve stomping everything I don't think I need EVEN MORE power.

[Kasa]

If it's honestly more of just a easter egg kind of thing I can skip it, I'm not having enough fun to both playing them game more then once for slightly different dialogue.

There's documented evidence of having the *possibility* of the universe being different, which is communicated when you arrive at the Lodge for the first time in One Small Step. However, it appears to be RNG based and rare.

It's a baffling decision because everyone has a different experience -- some might not encounter them, and it encourages speed-running universes. I'm already having a difficult time keeping playing given the *incredible* grind and the frustration of having to repeat certain NPC interactions, like Neon merchants.

[Ebyl]

My point was more that they do have some utility if you need it, but they can also be kinda fun to play around with. And yeah, it's a Bethesda game - even on the hardest difficulty it's not hard. That's how Behtesda rolls.

[Kasa]

I guess I'll play till I get bored?
With any luck there might be a mod to liven things up.

[ayrtep]

Its up to you to decide what you would do.

There is not much point in downloading an NGP10 game, as that game itself is much the same as an NGP1 game - its the experience of getting there that matters.

Anyway I rushed the main quest the first time as I wanted to see what is was all about, after that I found it more interesting to concentrate on the rest of the Galaxy.

How to approach the game with that knowledge is really more dependent on what would be fun for you, as others have pointed out it is a random chance, that seems to start at NG+3 and ends with NG+10.
As we don't have any details on the DLC I am personally apprehensive about rushing to NG+10, just doing what I want until NG+3 then going to look for a NG+ I feel like settling down in until the DLC. That is me, you do you.
