      Other games just replay the story with the same stats.

      Starfield has (or at least tries) to depict different universes.

      Example (Spoiler for Starfield):

      spoiler

      The Constelation is different each time you run a New Game +

      • You meet the non-starborn version of yourself. You can convince yourself to join your crew, and thus you mentor yourself. All other Constellation members are missing/dont exist.

      • Same as Above but all the other members are alive and well.

      • Multiple version of yourself hang out at Constellation, like a sort of Citadel in Rick and Morty

      • Andreja has gone evil, has taken over the Lodge, and wants to take down Constellation.

      • Walter Stroud is not benevolent with his money but instead uses it to control Constellation and sells you the artifacts for 100k each.

      • You meet the Hunter who has already killed all of Constellation. He gives you the artifacts.

      • Cora Coe has returned as a Starborn and wants to avenge her father’s death.

      • Evil You is there trying to kill everyone, a wounded Sarah fills you in.

      • Only kids are at Constellation, all the members are gone and there are kids in their place.

      • Another kid one where all the members are retired and slight changes to the one above.

      • Everyone is dead and only Vasco remains.

      It is pretty innovative I think, although it could have been better executed.
