Notice: This is a repost of the Idea i posted on the steam forums. Let's be hypothetical for a second, say your starting a new character after beating story mode, there should be an option to have an entirely separate "universe" for that character, making it so that Ruin Gate isn't open until you've done everything for the character you are playing as, making it so that story NPCs don't spawn in the outpost until the current character completes that NPC's mission, etc, etc. I just find it a tad annoying when I want to start a new journey for a new character and the Universe has already been saved by your first character.
