Whats the point becoming a starborn ... i don't get it

[Omnius10]

So i'm now at the point where i can enter the unity , but for what .. leaving all behind , running trough other universes with minor differences doing the same things again and again ?? For what purpose ?? If the game would give me the chance i would destroy the artifacts to end this in my universe and live my life.

there really is not a 'point or purpose' to starting a New Game, and that is what NG+ is after all
for sure the rewards that you get are not really worth that, the only good part is the saved skills but thats the + part i guess
i did it before gaining anything to loose pretty much as a strategy. most people likely wont think of that or bother even if they do

[DawkinsForest5]

you should ask another question - "what were they smoking?"

Well, most of the time it's a dud imho but... I did get a NG+ seed with ZERO companions... Let me tell you... way less bugs, way less annoyances, no one telling me I am looting a body for the 2500th hundredth time, or screaming at me because I blew up a robot before it went rogue for the 50th time, etc etc. So if you do get that, it's "nifty" but thas about it imo. Nice and quiet at least while I do One Muybridge Lab and then walk 500m to you guessed it... a SECOND Muybridge lab. >.<

Well, sometimes the new universe is different. So I'm told, anyway.

I don't see how it makes RP sense unless your PC has terminal cancer or something, so I haven't played NG+ and maybe won't.

What is the point of beating Diablo again over and over to unlock higher difficulties? Or any of the other games with the same concept? This game actually has an in game, story based reason for it

Maybe try it before complaining about it??? There is a different path going forward in the main story after the jump to a new universe. You also keep the powers and get a new ship. You do not start completely over. Just inventory.

The powers can be strengthened in the NG+, there is no requirement to do so. You can get the artifacts again very quickly if you choose the quick version of the quest.

Because character progression in Diablo is predicated on farming progressively higher-level bosses for new unique loot, whereas you can do this in the first hour of Starfield anyway and have a practically unstoppable ship about halfway through your first playthrough.

I tried it and there's definitely no point other than things like meeting the legendary merchant (usually not helpful anyway) and seeing the different conditions of Constellation. The powers are mostly pointless since the game shoehorns you into ranged combat anyway, which will easily take care of all enemies.

People who like the game tell me it is a gripping story about choices or something. I just think it is mediocre at best.

The starborn and their war against each other reminds me a lot of the movie "the one" and they both share a similar end goal in that you become so powerful that you essentially become a god.

you should of watched a 5 minute youtube video instead of wasting all that time. again play smarter not harder.

You have to go through the Unity because it's the final frontier of exploration, and NO ONE has ever done it before other than the platoon of guys you shot in the face on the way to do it

Which in turn was just a re-Asian-ified version of Highlander

You just need to adjust your play style. The power can make a huge difference in the ability to achieve better results in some of the mission that reward stealth. If you want higher level enemies up the difficulty.

It is a blatant ripoff of "The Highlander" and should be reported.

I would prefer the game to accommodate my playstyle. Not the other way around. LOL!

I completed the stealth missions (Ryujin and SysDef) no problem with perks, panopticon and the operative suit. The reality of the powers is that they are not remotely godlike, much less actually necessary to accomplish anything. Again, the major change between playthroughs is the condition of Constellation and a few side NPCs that you will meet.
