Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, not only do you get the narration of what will happen, but in your New Game+ playthrough you&#8217;ll be able to literally reference what happened in-game with many of them.. And sometimes things may even be a little (or a lot) different due to variations in the multiverse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, make sure you&#8217;ve discovered all the temples and unlocked all the powers (note that you&#8217;ll need to reach Unity to trigger the hunt for more temples, so expect to leave &amp; come back).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I should also note: If you plan on starting NG+2 or 3, make sure to get a number of side quests in.. You can rush ahead to Unity again if you opted to skip the main quest, but the idea is to do the stuff you didn&#8217;t do the first time, letting you see how things unfold before you potentially encounter variations in other NG+ playthroughs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='code-block code-block-2' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<div id=\"gg_ads_midLeaderboard2\" class=\"gg_ads__adSpot gg_ads__adSpot--midLeaderboard\">\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8114869302769879\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8114869302769879\" data-ad-slot=\"6808095089\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I do after starting NG+ in Starfield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, so you&#8217;ve started your NG+ playthrough. Most importantly, when you visit the Lodge in the new universe, you have a choice: Play the main story, or skip it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least for your first NG+ playthrough, assuming everything looks about the same as it did in your first playthrough.. Skip it. You&#8217;ll be busy enough doing side quests and all the extra stuff you missed out on previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to consider doing NG+2 or 3, which may have alternative settings for the main story (that&#8217;s all I&#8217;ll say there), so keep that in mind; I BELIEVE in most cases you&#8217;ll want to skip the main story as the story itself either doesn&#8217;t change or isn&#8217;t even available (due to the characters of Constellation not being available).. However, it&#8217;s all based on a random dice roll, so testing this thoroughly is going to take some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, make sure you visit the Lodge early to get some freebie stuff. You&#8217;ll retain all your powers and skills (plus get a sweet new space suit), but you&#8217;re pretty much broke and have no weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that, your first steps should include getting as much money as possible: You&#8217;ll encounter a Starborn trader in NG+ randomly that usually has some exceptionally good gear for a lot of money. While you won&#8217;t need a new space suit for quite a while, you will need to get all new weapons (my first NG+ playthrough had the Constellation folks give me a freakin&#8217; grenade launcher, which.. No), and as cool as the Starborn ship is, you can&#8217;t upgrade it (aside from getting a slightly better one each time you NG+ it).. Which means you&#8217;ll need to upgrade the main story ship (which you&#8217;ll get for free after visiting the lodge) or buy a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, don&#8217;t forget to do the temple hunting quest: You&#8217;ll get upgraded versions of your existing star powers!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='code-block code-block-3' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<div id=\"gg_ads_midLeaderboard3\" class=\"gg_ads__adSpot gg_ads__adSpot--midLeaderboard\">\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8114869302769879\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8114869302769879\" data-ad-slot=\"4457812656\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What skills should I focus on in NG+?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In NG+ you&#8217;ll have a bit more freedom to try things out with your build; If you focused on FPS combat skills, work on boosting your ship &amp; outpost skills. If you focused on ship-based skills, focus on FPS stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also: Definitely invest in Social skills (especially Commerce) and Stealth if you didn&#8217;t in your first playthrough. These will make the NG+ playthrough much smoother until you can build up your weapons and ship again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of your ship: Definitely get yourself up to piloting C-class ships. While the Starborn ship looks cool, it&#8217;s a little weak and can easily get overwhelmed if you&#8217;re not careful.. I actually found it weaker than my ship from my first playthrough in some ways, which was still class A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starfield&#8217;s New Game+ implementation is pretty unique in that it&#8217;s part of the actual story itself; Along with this unique implementation is a decision you need to make..
