And like you said, just entirely fucks all the relationships and choices you made. For sake of what? A gimmick? It's a disappointment.

Moreover, the NG+ is awful. You only keep you levels and skill build? Why would I care when enemies are scaled anyway? I'm also still not sure what the outpost system is even for. Or the shops. Half feels like they made the game as just a basic template like they expected modders to do all the work to make the shit they pasted together make sense.
