New game+ & perks

[Dutstra]

So after focusing on the main story for my first play through. I decided to not include any perks initially. A choice in which I am now realising was a bad idea since I now want to add perks to change the game-play and dynamic in NG+.

I haven't seen any option to do so, am I correct in saying that it is a case of creating a new game if I wanted to include new perks? Which would including losing all current character progression?

I would love to see if in NG+ we could select new perks and remove old ones to change the game such as becoming a Varuun character.

Have I missed an option here or does it not exist?

no, you cannot do this, obviously.

Feels like an oversight, would've loved the ability to tweak my character slightly since they left their old world behind along with their history.

you understand its still the same character, right?

You can 'remove' a perk in game but never get a new one.
I feel the New Game + should allow you to pick new perks for any 'slot' you remove a trait from during your last run

(or just use a save game editor and swap them around yourself)

Only thing you can do is Starborn outfit upgrades and starborn ship and power upgrades

This is what I assumed would happen. Through friends one let slip the NG+ somewhat in conversation, an I thought it would be an interesting feature so I played the main campaign purely to do the main story. My intentions were then to re-run through NG+ to explore the other factions and slowly progress the main questline.

I assumed with their being so many perks and the NG+ feature that there would be a way to keep progression and enhance the game by having different perks each cycle. Looking at it now I may complete this play-through and then park this character and start a fresh. Which will limit amount of skill points I will have access to per playthrough and also mean I am unable to enjoy the other bonus' of NG+ and so on.

I have always played Bethesda games to enjoy as much as I can out of them with the exception of Fallout 76. I do like their games as the modding community enhance them so much hence the replay-ability.

So in the new universe, Sarah said, I died.
Why am I still wanted in a completely different universe where I supposedly died.
Are you telling me if I picked that I owned a home, I'd be doomed to paying a mortgage for eternity?
It just seems like an oversight.

Agreed, new game plus would be better if you could choose new perks
