Easier to play ng+ or start new character?
Question is self explanatory, should I start a new character or play character to ng+? I just saw there are new endings but only after I got ending c. I wanna know what is easier to play through because the 100 Will limit for one ending.

its definitey easier on ng, but if you only care about different endings you can do it on ng+ as well.

for both ending A and B you just need to be below 100 will and kill 5 heroics. you get -40 for each heroic kill and only +1 for dying. you only have to really worry about the lovecraftian enemies in Ilnoth and Caer Sorai, cause they can raise Will as well.

5 heroics arent that hard: Owlking, Ione, Bulwark, Phoenix+2, youre done. throw in dark knight and tundra lord if youre dying etremely often.

IF you want to do all heroics or the secret boss start a fresh character. the lategame heroics(council, endless, thalamus/crow) are a serial pain on ng+ and will probably just leave you frustrated

Edit: i thought ending C would automatically send you to ng+ which is apparently wrong. my bad. so if you are still on ng go for the heroics by all means

I think it's better to continue and try for Ending B, especially if you've enjoyed the Sorun you've made for that file.

To add some further insight, you can still get Ending B with 100+ WILL. WILL only determines if you'll get ending A, but the 5 Heroics are mandatory for both. In NG+, your WILL stat will reset to a flat 100 no matter what its value was; your second run /should/ have less deaths and are much more likely to get Ending A. Besides, there's exclusive bosses in the Ending A and B routes, so you'll want to do them all at least once. NG+ is overall easy until you get to the Heroics, the game doesn't feel terribly well-designed as far as NG+ goes, and difficulty may fluctuate.

Now if the choice is presented to you on your first playthrough by having low WILL, go through that naturally. You'll very likely see Ending A, but commit to Ending B if you made the prerequisite decision rather than resetting.

Ending C means you still have things to do! You can definetly finish the true game try by fighting some Heroics like the post above said

Thank you all! I will most likely start a new character.
