Starfield is a game designed to be replayed via its New Game Plus system, but 33 times seems a bit excessive. Not for one player, who in the process of replaying Bethesda’s sci-fi space game over and over again has encountered a surprisingly cool interaction they hadn’t seen before.
The NG+ aspect of the game should have been the focal point of the game and not the planets. Feels like Bethesda wanted to do something different than their other games but didn’t want to shift too much, so they half-did both aspects. I didn’t need or want Skyrim in space. I wanted Starfield to be its own IP with its own feel and design. To me, the variations should have occurred in each NG+ and been more varied, affecting characters and quests. Thinking about it now, the idea of going through universe after universe until you find one that you like and then staying there is an exciting concept.
I agree. Ultimately though I just feel like focusing the story on the NG+ >!multiverse !
