New Game+ doesn't prevent you from being kidnapped everytime by the cult. Still, being well-equipped isn't bad though

[PZ]

Yeah, I figured the game would not fundamentally change, but it sure is nice to have all my buddies, weapons, and vehicles from the start.

The download only took 6 hours, and is installed now. I hope to be able to play soon. 

[Art Blade]

enjoy

By herbal remedies, you mean the homeopathic buffs? Yes, they are capped at 55, with the max loot bag

Ah, nice, I always run out of the hunter instinct, which is essentially a wall hack to show you where everyone is.

Yeah, I figured the game would not fundamentally change, but it sure is nice to have all my buddies...

You still need to do their missions again Althought, should be easier with all of your gear available

[PZ]

Yeah, I noticed that as I started a new play through this morning. I have all my stuff, but none of my buddies. I can understand that through as it would have been much more of a programming  issue than a simple flick of a switch like what they did.

It is too bad they did not add save slots like they did with Origins.

It is fun though; once you get past the initial cut scenes (that you cannot skip), you have your last weapon load-out so you can devastate the landscape  . You also have all your perks, so it does feel like you are as competent as the last time you played through.

I think I will enjoy this play through even with the fundamental limitations.

[Art Blade]

enjoy, have fun

[PZ]

I just exited the starting island, and I must admit that the experience is much different from the vanilla version, much like it is in Origins. I now know where I need to go to recruit my favorite buddies. I think this play through will be better than prior attempts, but I am sure that the most annoying parts of the game will persist, since those require you to be essentially "naked" when it comes to your weapons.

[Art Blade]

once you've retrieved your weapons, KILL 'EM ALL.

[LowPolyOWG]

Good luck, PZ. Prepper stashes will repsawn everytime you restart NG+. To fully upgrade the lootbags and your buddies, you need like 850 skill points in total to do so.

Recognize this?

[Art Blade]

at a first glance, it looks like a desert eagle but when you magnify that pic and take a close look at the suppressor, and picture that whole thing in black, it looks like something we used a long, long time ago in FC2..

[LowPolyOWG]

Yeah, it kind of feels familiar

[PZ]

Hmm... I don't recall that weapon, but it is similar to the 6P9 suppressed in FC2 

This might be a fun play through

DING! The candidate won a Makarov.
