What does Newgame+ do?

[EQFL_Sapare]

As someone who has never played newgame+ in any game before, the term itself doesnt tell me much. It tells me I will re-aquire my abilities but does it buff enemies, does anything change mechanically? I cant find any offical desciption of what its supposed to do.

[Arbares]

Well, it's a game+ lol
Some games have this option in which you can start a new game (once you finished it) with some features and/or inventory and/or skills that were no available when you start the game the first time

[Greasepaint]

It will probably buff enemies, and may have more of them, or different placement.
It differs game to game.
We'll have to wait for Arkane to give more info, or for player feedback.

The stuff you had when you finished the game carries over on a new save.

[Generic Roughneck]

Yeah so it carries your gear and skills over, the game tell you as much when you pick new game+ on the menu.

But does that mean you can gain the skills you missed out on the first game on top of your current skills from the previous game? Not sure I see the point of a new game+ otherwise, may as well start a standard new game. If it just ups difficulty, same as before but pick a different difficulty setting.

Can anyone point me to offical list of what new game+ actually does?

Note: When using saves created previous to this latest patch you have to finish the game again with your latest autosave for the new version of the game to import it and make it available for New Game+ mode otherwise the game tells you that no saves were found.

How did they beat the game in only 3 hours!?

That's a bug. I have 7 hours mentioned, thought I've spent over 50.

Yep, certainly a bug. It took me a lot longer than what it shows in my screenshot.

Anyway...

None of your weapons (including weapon modifications), ammo, neuromod injectors, recycle materials, keycards, item blueprints, suit / scope chipets, etc. carry over. Inventory is a completely fresh start.

When you equip the psychoscope from the locker in your office you are immediately given all of your previously chosen abilities back and you retain all of the scope research you completed in the first playthrough.

Starting the NG+ also gives you the option to include the survival aspects on an individual basis at whatever difficulty level you prefer to play on.

[Genoscythe]

So no point in NG+ if you have everything? Did a 100% run on nightmare and unlocked like 90% of abilities, leaving only ones I don't really need. Prey really let's you become a psychic killing machine really fast.

Pretty much. I'll NG+ at some point if only to do an evil Morgan / no survivors run.

Can you play round after round, over and over again, like in RE4?
Or only once more, like Mankind Divided?

[อานนท์]

I was going to make new game+ run to get only typhoon skills achivment, but then I saw you have to complete both with only human and only typhoon skills seperatly, so new game+ is kind of pointless for me.

[Scott1979]

i started a new game+ and i got the scope from the safe and that was it. the quests, enemy and the items found on people or in boxes don't reset. i was walking around a empty station. what the hell is wrong with this?

You keep nueromods

[EQFL_Sapare]

You know, I don't mind bumping, but I just want to make it clear this topic is 2 years old and at this point the question has been answered. That said, just keeping your neuromods is pretty lame and I don't see the point in playing negame+, with more enemies or harder ones and maybe some item location randomization it be more interesting. But there are some minor mods out there that help with that.

Thankyou for the answers though.
