I am just stoked they added something like this as an extra incentive.
Unique to New Game+ is a brand new rarity level of equipment to craft and upgrade! Collect ‘Skap Slag’, a new resource to upgrade your gear to the best of the best from our finest blacksmiths.
Play the game in a whole new way by exploring new customization options with extremely powerful new armor sets and enchantments.
And we still can't kick a fucking chain without getting on it... That seems to require a whole game re-write, since we had a ton of patches since launch and none addressed it.
God I love seeing “New Game+” these days...brings back so many time traveling memories and just shows appreciation for one of the greatest titles ever developed.
