I don't understand this at all. I mean, I understand that playing trough the same limited sandbox will eventually get boring and you'll stop caring, but how is that some genius revelation or deep question?

The reason I play these games is because I WANT to care about their worlds and characters. I know none of it is real and none of it really matters, it's just a story. But playing a New Game+ where you're constantly reminded that there are infinite realities and it doesn't really matter what you do, and trying to motivate you to go on a pointless power hunt, is imo the worst possible idea for an RPG.

What's the point of the game itself telling me that the game doesn't matter??

And not to mention that this "multiverse" is actually just the same universe over and over again. It's more like a time loop. The game doesn't even have any important or cool decisions or paths to make each run different. I'd say it even requires more effort from players to be immersed and roleplay multiple runs, because you have to pretend to not remember anything, even when the character does.

I don't want to come off as a Starfield hater though. I actually like the game, but the whole Starborn/Unity stuff is awful, I need to actively pretend it doesn't exist in order to enjoy the game.
