please.......I will never stop stressing this feature enough. DAO lacked it and as a result I played it only 3 times (as opposed to the 20+ each of ME1 and ME2). 

it is an option that is never imposed and the implementation of which will basically please everyone (since it is totally optional). 

a LOT of Bioware games had NG+, it only adds to the fun for those who actually enjoy the feature

Dragon Age 2 sorely needs NG+

[Dr. wonderful]

I agree.



It allowed us to finish some quests.

Lots of Bioware games had NG+ features? How do you figure?

Baldur's Gate didn't (all iterations of it), KOTOR didn't, Jade Empire didn't, and Mass Effect 1 only added the option to start the game with an old character/add new talents, and ME 2 only lets you reexplore the galactic map. Sure that lets you finish up quests, but nothing else changes. Anderson doesn't know (and you can't tell him) that the Collectors are down, and you can't show anything to the Council, so I don't think that counts either.

Confusing NG+ with having the option to continue playing after the credits.



I think it would be fun to start the game with a fully leveled party, but the game would have to be designed with that in mind. Enemies would have to scale accordingly, or the game wouldn't be fun at all.



Unless they already had plans to include it, it's not gonna happen.

NG+ is something I hope they have. I would have replayed Origins a lot more. Especially when you create a character you really like, it's fun to replay the game with that character instead of creating a new one that similar.

I'm sorry, what is "NG+"?

[upsettingshorts]

New Game +

[theamplifiedsoul]

New Game plus. When you can start a new game with an existing character at their existing level.



Say you created a rogue, completed the game and leveled him/her to 25, you can start a new game with that character at the same level.

It will displease anyone who hates level scaling, since NG+ relies on level scaling to work.

Just trying to do the math on this. 3 times with three different characters in DAO? How many different ME characters?

I guess I'm confuse. Why the lack of NG+ makes the game unreplayable? I mean, there's something special in ME1 NG+? I have ME2, but I don't really played the character after the end, anyway. In the other hand, DA: O has six origins, two for each race (let's ignore the existence of elf mages, just for now *racist bastard*). If you like roleplay and change the choices and personality of every warden in the six gameplays, it looks like a really fun game to me.

But that's my opinion. I'm still confuse about the ME NG+, though

[upsettingshorts]

I think he would like to replay the game, but not as an unskilled low level toon with crap gear.

Personally when I've reached that stage, I just cheat.  After my fourth or so replay of DA:O I started making myself level 7 (to unlock a specialty, like Arcane Warrior) and gave myself plenty of cash upon reaching Ostagar on all further playthroughs.

Hmmm... I guess I can understand that. After hours and hours build a character and making him really strong, I suppose that starting again weak and fragile isn't really fun. =/

[Felfenix]

I love New Game Plus. It adds a lot to replay. It's always kind of blah that I spend the majority of the game building my characters, and by the time they're done, the game is over and there isn't really a chance to enjoy all the customizing I did. Characters in Bioware games are fairly lacking in the early/mid levels.

[AlanC9]

Really? I only ever tried NG+ once, with ME1, and I thought it played far worse than at lower levels, though on the plus side you could ignore inventory after a few minutes in.

[LPPrince]

It does not need NG+, and is better off without it.

Unlike some other features championed on this board, what would possibly be the negative result of including NG+ for those who do not wish to use it?

[LPPrince]

Opinion= NG+ requires resources better spent elsewhere.

Fact= NG+ would make the game ridiculously easy, if we look at it as if DAO had it. The only way it wouldn't be so is if they changed the difficulty mechanic so that NG+ playthroughs became harder.

Fun Fact= I quite enjoy NG+ for the Mass Effect series. I use the same character over and over.

Opinion= I just don't think it'd work with DA2 unless it was vastly different than DAO.

I am not opposed to it. Sometimes its fun to go back and flex all your abilities through an entire game, I never cared for finally finishing a character build only to realize the game only has 10 minutes of play left in it.

[Chimervera]

I'd like a NG+ feature simply so that I can play through again with the same face, if there's no character creator (is there any word on if we'll be getting one?).


I spend a lot of time creating my character's faces, and I'd hate to have to write down the slider values and somehow not lose them just so that I can use the same face twice. The other features I don't particularly care about.

[LPPrince]

Honestly, if they can put NG+ into the game and make it work, then I'm all for it.

I just don't see NG+ meshing well with DAO's system. And at this point, that's all we can reference. Not like we've played DA2 yet.

Hmm, well I guess i'm in the minority again.  My favorite part of DAO was making a character and playing through the begining levels.

It seems to get to easy for me later on with so many skills and spells and what not. 

I hear people complain about Ostagar all the time. For me that is one of my favorite sequences.

[GulfWarVet]

they'd have to remove the stupid 10 game save lock on the PS3 version though!!



i agree basically a new play through with all your gear and maybe 1-2 new spells or items to pick up, it would be cool.

[Selene Moonsong]

It simply would not work in DAO due to level limits. After reaching a specific level, you cannot advance further anyway, and I don't see where going back to the beginning with the same high level character you just completed the game with could be considered much fun.



Better a new character to play a different path, rather than a re-run with the exact same character, IMHO.
