What is the point of Newgame+

[seven_stars]

This game does not have much replay ability imo. Of course 100 hours in, I pretty much have done most things. The game is just so bland, I can't see replaying much. Unlike oblivion, skyrim, fallout games which I played 500 to 1500 hours each

Yes 100 hour in but.... never started the main story.
I told Sarah to GTFO, pirate life for me !!

Feels like they had greater ambition for the system beyond just "Here's a slightly different lodge, now do it again." and it got cut. Probably for the best if they actually wanted it released in a reasonable timeframe, but it feels kinda empty.

Edit:
I think this might also be why a good few of the sidequests feel one-note, they were probably meant to be easily replaced with different quests, so not every trip to a city plays out the same.

In other games, NG+ your character forgets everything they did in the story. In Starfeild your character remembers everything they did before NG+ started. It's a clever way of blending the game mode into the main plot.

Play the game and you will find out. Maybe you just suck at video games. There is plenty of content.

You upgrade your powers. Don't shoot the messenger, that's literally the point.

Make use of that first playtrough to try everything. Get good in Outposts and ship building. Go trough full skill tree and learn what skill you like and dont. Find all the powers. Make as much mistakes as posible, the more you make the best you learn. Once you are confident and knowledgeable it is time to do a NG+ and see what is all the fuz about

Thats totally not the point. NG+ gives you some what is really crap gear but its great to get started on a new game with, and lets you explore other options. The whole point of going through it 10 times isn't the best spacesuit in the game, because its not the best at all, its 3 pieces in 1 so the stats actually suck increadibly bad, and it can't be modded... The point is trying different things each ng+ so you can see the different outcomes. Maybe one game you are just straight murder hobo and kill everybody.

I mean seriously what was the point in them, I think I used the shield 1 time, just for giggles, but if you play games like 7 days to die headshots are just a natural flow.

You don't need to do it 10 times to see all the different realities though, it starts at NG +4 so just save before you finish +3 and you can see all the lodges that way.

10 times is the pentacle reward, but its not even a reward worth doing it 10 times for.

I hate the NG+ ending of Starfield, its so disgusting and lazy.
Like I would ever want to continue playing this boring game again lol.

If you remember Mass Effect did the same thing for fighting off the machines (the truth of the endless cycle).
However their story was intense, engaging, choices/companions mattered more, and gameplay was fun.

I expected too much from Bethesda 2023, so disappointed.

You can level up your Space Magic powers up to 10 if you comple the New Game Plus 10 times, you get a special ship and outfit that upgrades for every NG+ up to 10, you get a few new dialogue options and can change the story to save a certain character from death. I did NG+10 its the most boring grind i ever have done in a BGS game but since im completionist i did it anyway i don't think it worth the time if you aren't a completionist to be honest.

can you save them on the 1st ng+?
