Starfield’s New Game Plus Is Cool, But TES 6 & Fallout 5 Should Skip It

The new game plus mechanic in Starfield is intriguing, but future Bethesda games like The Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5 would be better off without it. Bethesda’s latest title has been the subject of much debate since its launch, and critique has only grown as the players have spent more time with it. NG+ is one of the most prominent points of contention for several reasons. It is a bit concerning for the studio’s future titles, especially if Bethesda decides to double down on the mechanic. Of course, future iterations would likely be better than what it is in Starfield, but it can be argued that Bethesda games don’t even need new game plus to begin with.
