Why is it not allowed to pick a skill box that has no skills and select not to use NG+ guns? It saves a lot of time and hassle. Just wondering.

I was just going to make a thread about this precisely. Since it's a hassle to get the real "New Game" savegame and it's kinda confusing to setup for some people we're just going to not use skills at all for the NG run.

It's a hassle yes. But perhaps tell people how to properly select a slot with no skills and hit no for NG+ items. Or if people do NG runs that way, make them show it in the video of them doing those things.
