Each time you do, you will get new rewards and changes to quests. The main changes appear to take place in the early stages of the game\u2019s story but there are dialogue changes that happen throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Think of each New Game Plus run as going into a new alternate universe. In one run the Constellation crew at the Lodge might all be normal, in another they will have been replaced with children, all killed by the Hunter (apart from Vasco), and more, including a Lodge full of different versions of your own character. It can get pretty wild.<\/p>\n<p>The new Starborn dialogue option will alter the story and allow you to skip the majority of its missions, even unlocking a brand-new story mission: \u2018Among the Stars\u2019.
