Just cleared first playthrough, small question

Remnant 2

Absolutely loved my first playthrough and I am jumping straight back in with another character for more.

I was just curious if I was missing something at the end of the first run? Completed final boss, saw cutscene of boss regenerating & Clem resetting the world and absorbing everyone into the index, watched all credits, saw the cutscene play of the Keeper interacting with the Index after Clem basically re-formatted the universe, everything is reinstated including NPC's and whatnot; you see your character on their back on the ground & they do a big GASP and wake up, cutscene over.

Ward 13 has no changes that I could tell other than turning in compass for Explorer archetype, no new dialogue in the important NPC's. The grounds for the final boss are now empty although endgame cutscene gave the impression that we didn't actually fully defeat him, Keeper did not return to Labyrinth, Clem is MIA.

Does the story end here, or if you re-roll campaign with same character & clear again; are there any lore differences? (No spoilers please)

Just a little jarring & I'm not sure if I just missed some important context. I'm planning on starting a fresh character wholly different than my first playthrough, but maybe that's not smart if the "story" continues with more than 1 campaign clear in the same character account?

the end of the story probably hints at "it's not over, DLC/sequel are coming!" more than anything.

However, there are still tons of things for you to explore and obtain on this character - I wouldn't make a new one unless you're going to play with another new player of if you're going into hardcore.

Otherwise, reroll campaign to overwrite it with a completely newly generated one. character will keep everything except for most quest items.

You don't need to create a new character. There is almost zero reason to, unless you just like starting from zero everytime.

Just reroll the campaign if you've beaten the final boss.

It’s not smart to start a new character because there so many different weapons , rings, amulets and armors that you have to play the campaign or adventure mode multiple times to get everything there is. Also there is a large number of archetypes which you can and maybe should level up to unlock the class trait for general use.

It would make more sense to increase the difficulty and get those nice rewards when you complete it.

Only thing you have to create a new character is hardcore. Everything else I would do on the main character.
