Will you start a new save file once phantom liberty releases?

Just wondering because I'm not sure yet myself. I've read that many of the core mechanics would be updated/changed even in the base game. Because of that I'm thinking about starting from the beginning.

Yeah I feel you kind of have to because they changed everything from skills and equipment. Starting fresh is probably best in case there are bugs with your old saves.

I've done a netrunner build and an annihilation/berserk shotgun build. I'm planning on doing some sort of sandevistan build this time around, maybe knives or pistols.

Has much info about the new talent trees come out?

All I can find are 3 screenshot someone posted on twitter:

I kinda don't want to go through the early sections all over again but it feels like you gotta restart with all the changes to core gameplay. I really wish we had NG+ at the very least for skin and vehicle unlocks, maybe a few weapons if they get scaled down so they don't make the game trivially easy. I want Johnny's gun earlier in the game 😥

My first build was cyberdeck/stealth/pistol and it made the most sense, for the second one I tried sandevistan/techie and it felt weird. Maybe I go back and replay with a stealth oriented one since it was fun despite the janky hacking.

Very likely. It’s going to be the last major update so mods won’t break anymore

Hadn't thought about it. I thought it would be intended for you to play it with a high level character, but I guess it might make sense if a bunch of the game has been updated. I haven't played a brawler or a tech build yet.

Yes, since they want to change so much regarding the perks and the weapons. I also want to play a new build. My first character was a mantis blade build and my second character was a tech weapons build. This time around I want to play a monowire/netrunner build.

i think ill play on my current save file because my last playthrough was only a couple months ago

RangerOs@feddit.de · 4 pts · 3y

Since it's been so long since I've played it, I'm starting over!

kurotoshiro@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

I’ve been waiting for the expension to actually finish the game, so yes.

AdventureSpoon@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Im trying to not touch the game until the expansion, that way I might forget some of the story details and sidequests a bit more and experience it agin when I do a new and fresh replay with the new overhaul of mechanics.

knatsch@feddit.de · 3 pts · 3y

Yes, maybe i will wait for a discount tho

Ilikecheese@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 3y

Didn’t they say there would be a decent amount of time between when 2.0 was released and the release of the DLC? I was planning on starting a new game up once 2.0 gets released and seeing all the changes before the DLC comes out and I check that out.

I really want to play the game right now, start a new file, make a new build. But I should probably wait until phantom liberty comes out. I am so hyped I cannot wait.

TerabyteRex@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

yes. i got to the point of no return and didnt enter the bar because i found put i havebtons of side quests. so ill wait and start over

UnaSolaEstrellaLibre@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

I'm inclined to actually.

nates@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

I'd love to but since the release date falls in the middle of my semester I'll have to wait until winter break to start fresh :(

I'm currently on my 4th? 5th? playthrough of the game and going to use my current save file for PL once it drops so I can avoid spoilers.

roofuskit@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

I have a fairly new save I abandoned when I heard how extensive the expansion would be, I'll probably just pick up that one since it's not too far i

LouLimes@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Absolutely. Still got some build I want to try

Edwards07256@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Yes 100%

Famborghini@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

I’ll probably play a new save and my old save. I still haven’t finished the game from my first playthrough on launch lol

Luci@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 3y

Yeah, but only because I let Barry die :(

Call_Me_Maple@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Normally I don't play games more than once, so I'm gonna play through it on my main save, and if it really is such a drastic change once I beat it I'll go through from the beginning with a new character.
