Why? There’s a bunch of different possibilities that can happen directly related to NG+. The game feels like it’s meant to be played endlessly with it.
Strictly from an RP POV, the costs are too high. The first time you go through, everyone is excited to see what will happen. Once you’ve done it, though, you realize that you lose everything you built, including your relationships. If you got married, you end up leaving your spouse in some other universe. You essentially have to act like The Hunter to do that over and over, just to power up and see what happens next. It’s something The Pilgrim figures out and tries to warn you about.
As a player, it’s cool to get more and more OP, but if I play like that, I grow less and less attached to my toon and end up logging off. And, really, you don’t need the power upgrades to become OP. I do get, however, that this is exactly how some people like to play and it’s good that they have options too. Even if they’re psychopaths. :-)

Yes, once. That taught me that anyone who does NG+ more than once per playthrough is a psychopath.

Hmm I’m like 160hrs into first play through, you’ve peaked my interest. Maybe I should wrap up and start over with ng+.
