New game plus

[Raziel]

Hello guys,

How is new game plus in this game? Can I repeatedly do new game plus after new game plus? Or can I only do new game plus once?

Can I keep playing new game plus after doing my first play thru of new game plus, or will I be forced to do from the original run save?

When you do your NORMAL game, try to collect EVERYTHING YOU CAN. Blueprints, runes (USE THEM), bonecharms (BREAK THEM DOWN AND USE THEIR FEATURES), because the more you collect on your normal run, the more stuff you'll have on your NG+.

When you FINISH the regular run, and want to start NG+ it will ask you to choose a save slot that it will base its "stuff" from. That's why if you don't have a finished game (you must finish completely first) you can't really use this feature, and why if you use a craptastic run for it, you'll get only what few things you found on that run in addition to your play through.

You can do NG+ as many times as you want, I haven't *tried* using an ng+ slot but I don't think you can build on it? (someone probably has tried, and would know, please correct me if I'm wrong on that.) But I'd say make sure that you have a full run saved - even if you have to MANUALLY copy the file and reinsert it later, over another save file.

I have to say that NG+ using Corvo with some Emily powers (namely Domino and Far Reach even if it duplicates your teleport with corvo's blink - the Pull power is essential), is a TON of fun. I just outright prefer Corvo, so having access to a couple of the newer powers along with the older more familiar ones, was excellent.

I'm really hoping I can build upon a NG+, so that I can keep playing with every ability etc... If anyone has tried, please let me know if it works

Just did a google search, seems like NG+ stacking is a thing!

lol that's so crazy hahaha. I mean after a while there's not much reason to do it, because with NG+ once it's enough basically to get everything. It's not like you can plug extra runes into things and gain *even more* whatever. (Which would be pretty awesome... augmented bonecharms and powers...)
