MODERATORS
I was very confused, when it was nominated in the steam awards for most innovative game. Made me a bit sad when people do not know what great games are out there that only cost 1/5 of a AAA borefest.
The New Game + was one of the most innovative mechanic that came out this year.
It isn't the Game of the Year award.
*New for Bethesda
Other games have had similar features for years.
Other games just replay the story with the same stats.
Starfield has (or at least tries) to depict different universes.
Example (Spoiler for Starfield):
spoiler
The Constelation is different each time you run a New Game +
You meet the non-starborn version of yourself. You can convince yourself to join your crew, and thus you mentor yourself. All other Constellation members are missing/dont exist.
Same as Above but all the other members are alive and well.
Multiple version of yourself hang out at Constellation, like a sort of Citadel in Rick and Morty
Andreja has gone evil, has taken over the Lodge, and wants to take down Constellation.
Walter Stroud is not benevolent with his money but instead uses it to control Constellation and sells you the artifacts for 100k each.
You meet the Hunter who has already killed all of Constellation. He gives you the artifacts.
Cora Coe has returned as a Starborn and wants to avenge her father's death.
Evil You is there trying to kill everyone, a wounded Sarah fills you in.
Only kids are at Constellation, all the members are gone and there are kids in their place.
Another kid one where all the members are retired and slight changes to the one above.
Everyone is dead and only Vasco remains.
It is pretty innovative I think, although it could have been better executed.
