I'm wondering if Obsidian has any intent for DLC that adds a new game+ feature? I found the game most enjoyable, the combat system and scenery were absolutely de-lightful. But, when finally beating the game only to find out I couldn't use my main character to tackle the hardcore difficulty, it was a huge letdown. When selecting games to buy I always consider it's replay value, and without a new game+ that really killed it for me. It's my own fault really, I could have easily came to these forums or googled to see if that option was available. I automatically assumed DS3 would have that feature in place considering the type of game it is.
