Why go through unity?

[barry1kc]

I havn't re done the main quest but so far from what I can tell this is just a lame version o skyrim legacy option?

like besides the random extra dialogue is there any reason to go through unity? does it advance the insultingly short and boring main quest?

19 main quest missions. If you did those and missed the four factions and side quests and/or other activities in the game then that's on you.

Bethesda games are sandbox games and people get a lot more content out of these games by making new characters. NG+ is really an extension of that. You do upgrade the Starborn ship and armour (plus optional power upgrades) but this isn't necessary to enjoy the game.

Just ask yourself if you want to play the game again with your current skill points

I went through it to try to fix what I did wrong the first time, so I could save everyone this time.

Turns out, it worked.

There is a chance to get into special version of the universe, then each iteration of going through Unity improves your starborn armor (stats go up at least 10 times) and a few times the ship too. Every time you go to a base universe version you can pursue different romance,
Other than that not moch else.

like at the part where someone always dies to make the main story the main story you are saying that there is a way to save both people?

You can be like the average Skyrim player and not even finish the main story since you're too busy doing other stuff.

It's a Bethesda game, the main story has never been the selling point in any of them, from Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3 or 4.

Just go do whatever you want. Find a planet with a lot of resources and looks great, build a settlement for a hunting safari and decorate however you want, or become a mining tycoon, build multiple mining outposts with a big cargo ship and sell cargo throughout the settled systems, or be a space pirate and hunt down other ships and steal all the wooden ducks and sandwiches.

Bethesda games aren't there for the narrative being told by developers, they're there for us to play however we want to.

The only real reason to do the Unity mechanically is to see some funny stuff in Constellation basically. The powers rarely become more useful than their first iteration and the other equipment you get is lamer than what you can pick up in "abandoned military base" on the right side of the galaxy. You get some new dialogue that's mildly interesting, that's about it. My recommendation is don't bother other than for completionist purposes.

that is a very elegant way of saying none but the leveled bonuses you get when you reset.

I reloaded because I wasn't fond of losing all my ships and items.

only point is if you want to grind your powers to level 10 and get the levle 10 version of the starborn armor & lvl 6 version of the guardian starship. However since you can't mod the starship (which is understandable) its useless since it doens't come with crafting stations like you can put on a normal ship.

Yes. You actually have the option to skip the main story entirely once you go through the Unity, but if you DO choose to do it, you get a new option where no one dies.

I was quite pleased by that, seeing as that's one of the reasons I choose to NOT skip the main story on my second run through. (I also did it to get a few missing achievements, and to see what changes there were).

or a bed or upgrades or anything useful on any ship in the game ever.

Yeah the bed was the big one for me, since my whole MO in the game was to take a little siesta and sip a nice tea before every mission in the game
