No new game +?
So to get to the true ending it is implied you need to run both Paladin and Assassin routes at least once which had me assuming their would be some kind of new game + as I found at least one item in the Assassin route that could not be used as an assassin but I don't see any kind of option or save that continues on from your previous.

TLDR: Am I right in saying there is no new game + the game just recognises if you have a clear of Assassin/Paladin when checking for True ending requirements?

Apparently not. I just beat the game as both Assassin and Paladin, and I got the normal end both times.

The books in the (I think it was called) Floating City mention balance between 2 opposing elements. I have not finished a Paladin route yet myself but possibly it needs a 3rd run with the Evil/Kind meter being balanced to get to the true end?

You can achieve the true ending in the second playthrough. After fighting the mysterious shadow in the sewer, you will know if you have triggered it. As for the conditions to trigger it, please think back to Nora's initial and true appearance.

Second playthrough (Paladin), tried being 50/50, normal end. Going to give being Paladin/Evil or Assassin/Kind a try see if that triggers the true end.

Have you defeated the mysterious shadow?

I had gotten the normal end the first time I went through this but I reloaded the same file did it again and it changed. Odd but I assume that isn't intended unless it is required to see both normal endings first? Either that or some odd bug.

I don't think this is a bug. In fact, the Assassin route has a hidden ending, but it can only be accessed by those who like that ending.

I've finished a 3rd run with a 50/50 Paladin (1st was Assassin 80 Evil, 2nd was Paladin 100 Good) but only get another "Meaningless sacrifice" ending, since I can't hit the boss no matter what I tried and only can loose this fight. Am I missed something or there's a bug?

Ok, so I looked into it, to get the true end you have to go to at least 80 evil as the assassin and beat the game, and then in play through 2 get 80 good at least, then simply even them out before the final self fight, if you did it right you'll have changed your look after that fight. You also have to get through all promotions but I'm not sure how you'd beat the game without doing so.

Does anyone have any ideea if any ng+ will ever be added?

Is it possible to create a guide? Even if it's a short one, even if it's just the requirements for endings? As this does affect the overall enjoyment of many who want to do 100%
