Hogwarts Legacy

I started off as a good Slytherin but since there is no consequence for being a complete douche or using the forbidden curses I ended up turning into an evil jackass by the end of the game.

My kids were really disappointed in me.

The house quests were kinda BS too. Hufflepuff gets to go to Azkaban. Ravenclaw the Owlery. Gryffindor the pumpkin patch for a head hunt. Slytherin has to put a piece of toast on a pedestal...

I did Gryffindor. Thanks for the heads up about how the quest changes. I knew how the game performed on hardware, but little about the game itself going in.

The music and visuals are immersive and well done. Good voice acting. Would have been nice if they gave enemies more trash talk lines and personalities. Maybe that is one of the places where a.i. can help out in the future? Making the NPCs more individualistic.

I am going to play Jedi Survivor now since it is on Game Pass. I will come back for another playthrough as Slytherin or Ravenclaw later.

Spoiler

I think the only evil path I took was with homie trying to save his sister that had been cursed. But for magic? Oh yeah, I went straight to the dark side.

Just played through the "Haunted Hogsmede" quest that was patched into the game. Was a Playstation exclusive until now.

Quest is gated for a while, it has to be Winter before the quest giver shows up, but it never goes away, so if you have a completed playthrough you should still be able to do the quest. However if you're starting a new character then it'll be a while before you get to do the quest.

It's pretty long, clocks in at 1.5-2 hours, and is one of the better quests in the game, so I can see why people were sort of pissed that it was a PS5 exclusive when the game generally doesn't have a lot of unique stuff to do outside of the main quest line to begin with.

Definitely worth firing the game up for. Reasonably spooky quest, if it's your thing you'll get more out of it playing it alone at night.

Spooky for you means it will freeze my blood cold

What they do? Bring in zombies or something?
