Stated New Game +, already on the last leg of the Movie quest

Welp, guess I'm not starting a new game plus then. Man, how incompetent is EA's QA department for BioWare?

What if you delete all the quest items from your inventory before you start a new game, maybe even at the end of first playtrough?

Eh, some things, but I wouldn't want to skip dialogue that initiates the quests. 

Yeah, this is just me not really grasping the concept. Maybe someone like me passed this through QA as WAD.

The movie quest items can't be destroyed or sold.

I had abandoned a NG+ game when I arrived at Tempest and had my brand new crew thanking me for stuff I already acquired for movie night. This was the first thing I checked after the patch, to see if it got fixed retroactively, and it didn't. I had wondered if a brand new NG+ was needed, but you just answered that question and saved me the trouble.

(I could delete special request stuff from my inventory, but the items for movie night are not there so the conversation triggers anyway.)

This is the place where people report bugs to EA. I sometimes go there and click the "me too" button on several topics so they can track how widespread the bugs are.

Yeah, damn shame. Now I wonder if the quest will trigger like normal after all at some point...

They really need to fix the special items (like the armor for liam, bottle for Lexi, plant for Suvi) disappear from our inventory. They serve no purpose and we already "gave" them to our crew members. If not, then at least let us be able to destroy said items.

Going to have to wait on my new game plus as well until the rest of the future patches come through.

Does this happen for everyone?
