Slowly working my way through my first shot at the game, trying for purity because I like to make things hard on myself. I'm loving what I see so far. Even without using them, looking at the three rooms of her mind that I can unlock with a purity run I can see how detailed the corruption system is and I love it. I can already see the start of the strategy and the first few steps I want to take when I do a corruption run. I also love the both the simplicity of the skills and combat, and how well it works together with the quest and exp system, even as it leaves me agonizing over the decisions I make in what to spend time and money upgrading. I can already see some mistakes I've made that I will do differently in my next run, but because of how the whole thing works, I can see my other options without difficulty, and the mistakes I made don't end my run, they just leave me stuck for a bit while I earn money to get an upgrade I need to progress (darn purity run preventing me from just star knighting the crap out of my problems). The fact that build mistakes aren't game ending (at least not completly, if I make too many and lose too much time to them I'm sure I'll soul break) is wonderful. I've played games where if you screwed up your build in the beginning you just couldn't complete the game, but you didn't always find that out until hours later.
One question I have for now is in regards to the new game plus. If I complete a run as far as it can go for now (or soul break, though I can't remember if you said that would get new game plus points with penalty already, or if that was future plans) and new game plus it, and then do another run and then do new game plus for a second time, do I get to keep what I got from the first new game plus, and increase my rewards further with the second new game plus, or does the second new game plus start from a blank slate and completely overwrite the first new game plus?
