・Some companions are recruited differently.
Replay Main Quests ・Repeat story missions as normal.
・Access to Starborn dialogue options.

Upon entering New Game Plus, choosing to reveal you're Starborn will change how the events play out. As you're now aware of the nature of the Artifacts, you can skip straight to collecting them without going through the main story's events. Since you no longer meet some companions during the story, you'll have to seek them out yourself if you want to recruit them.

If you don't skip the main story, you can go through the missions again with new Starborn dialogue options, which can help make interactions easier.
