[feral locust]

But I really hope they can release some DLC ,even if it just a clothes DLC

That was when Avalanche was a studio working for Disney.

This game is their first indenpendent game after WB aquired them back in 2017.

Yeah.

Well, I know many people (HP fans)really love this game depsite the flaws.

Well, WB's studios do have trends, like Arkham series.

[hollow agate]

just as long as they stay away from live service and all that stuff

[feral locust]

Yeah, I heard so many people talk about this game could be better if it have mutiplayer or being an MMO

I say having two player coop wouldn't hurt, but defintly not MMO.

[grizzled night]

I have question about the game but didnt know where to post since I am not fluent in english 😫 I found a box but dont know how to open it~ and no its not ‘eye box’

Seems like Slytherin box and not my house

[feral locust]

You mean the chest in the common room?

[grizzled night]

No not that box

[hollow agate]

where is it?

[grizzled night]

It has Slytherin sign on it

Can i say it? 🥲 umm in Hogwarts. Next to best class area

In the tower… if you do revelio it will shine🥲

[feral locust]

I hope you speak Chinese, so I would be able to help you more.

[feral locust]

Defense against the dark arts tower?

[grizzled night]

There is also Astronomy table

[feral locust]

check your map and see where you are.

[hollow agate]

what does it say when you try to open it? are you sure its not one of the alohomora chests?

[feral locust]

You can DM me for screenshot.

There's only one chest that I can think of having Slytherin emblem on it, and it's the dalian key(flying key) chest.

[grizzled night]

Nope 😫

[grizzled night]

I did 🤗

[feral locust]

Looks like an random jewlery box-size chest in the Bell tower area, like inside a rampart.

[hollow agate]

maybe their gear is full

or do you mean you cant access it

[feral locust]

Looks like it?

[hollow agate]

oh i dont remember seeing that chest

[feral locust]

It's probably just a random glitch that chest don't have intereaction UI when approach it.

[hollow agate]

ok i checked and i have that chest opened

but i think it might be tied to a quest, since that room is ||where you go with Amit later to unlock the telescope thingies||

[grizzled night]

I opened the box after restarting the game. Sorry for the over-excitement and unnecessary mystery. gear box only 🥲

[hollow agate]

no worries, looks like it was a random glitch after all then

[neon adder]

Hello Everyone, does anyone know where to find the Unicorn Statue. It's the last one I need for the Conjurations

[feral locust]

scroll your map to the top and see which area's collection chest are you missing. Also make sure you got all of butterflies( 10 of them I think). And some dungeon have 1 or 2 collection chests

And yeah, this things drop at randomly, so you have to find out which collection chest are you missingt.

[neon adder]

@feral locust are butterfly chests under collection chests

[feral locust]

No\

[neon adder]

@feral locust I need 1 collection chest in Marunweem lake. But all my collection chest show completed

[feral locust]

Then you must be missing a butterflies.

They only shows on minimap and revelio when you are riding a broom or a mount when you are close

I think there is one in Marunweem area.

[neon adder]

@feral locust I'm also missing 1 trait. Is there a way to find 1 missing trait

[hexed herald]

Butterflies show up as destination chests. How many of them do you need.

[feral locust]

then you missed a bandit camp

[neon adder]

@hexed herald need 1 collection chest total

[hexed herald]

If you know the area check the houses and camps

[feral locust]

1 collection chest in Marunweem that contains trait, looks like you need to find which bandit camp you missed.

Also, there are guide for butterflies, but sadly, if you don't remember which one you picked, you have to go through them one by one.

[neon adder]

@feral locust all my bandit camps have a check mark

[feral locust]

unless you haven't finish challenges, only bandit camps contains trait.

[hexed herald]

So you need 6 chests, 1 demiguise there is one small bandit camp in that area

[neon adder]

@feral locust so could a bandit camp be marked wrong

[feral locust]

not on my version of game(PC)

[hexed herald]

If its the lake area its a big area, if its the town, its a smaller area.

[neon adder]

@feral locust I'm on Playstation 5

[hexed herald]

You can try the hint button, bring up the game hub and hit hint+

[feral locust]

ahh, I see, I heard there are some known issue about collection count for PS5 version. Perhaps they fixed it during the latest patch

Sorry I haven't check PS5's patch notes, only checked PC's patch note.

[neon adder]

@hexed herald it's in Marunweem lake area everything shoes completed accept 1 collection chest. I installed the latest update

[feral locust]

also ,check the dungeon in the area. there are one of two in each one.

[neon adder]

@feral locust ok

[hexed herald]

Two chests in the coastline mine

Two small bandits camp. Everything else i did not have to enter to get stuff. So its mostlikely the coastline cave dungeon or you missed a small bandit camp since Maureen has how many chests collected and it should be 6/6 or you missed it in the houses.

[feral locust]

There are some easily missable chests in some dungeons.

[hexed herald]

Has to be the correct ones to register.

[neon adder]

@feral locust I have no dungeons left

[feral locust]

Well, perhaps you are a victim of well-known issue on PS5 version.

[neon adder]

@feral locust the same thing is happening at Hogwarts castle. I'm missing 1 field guild page for everything

[feral locust]

I don't know, I play it on PC and I had two playthroughs that is true 100%

[loud heart]

Ugh turn Sebastian or not is a hard choice.

[feral locust]

I don't

[elfin gulch]

@tough pelican @red finch I invoke you! (If you don’t sleep)

[feral locust]

had to delete my first slytherin character just to reverse this decision.

[tough pelican]

DO NOT DARE

The choice is right before your eyes. It is easy. Simply let the dude live!

[feral locust]

BTW I'm so regret that I turned him in as Slytherin during my very first playthrough.

[tough pelican]

A Slytherin... You call yourself a Slytherin and you would TURN IN Sebastian for wanting to save his sister from a life of pain and misery!? Shame.

[feral locust]

Well, that's why I deleted my original character and start fresh.🤣

[tough pelican]

You need to delete the character, delete the account and delete every backup save you own and then bathe in the waters of Mandalore to atone.

Oh wait wrong game

[feral locust]

I did a few days ago, my Ravenclaw spared him, working on my Gryffindor to do the same as well.

Also, I assume you always let Sebastion cast Crucio on MC?@tough pelican

[tough pelican]

Of course

[loud heart]

You can just undo your save file...
Well if you save it before you turn Sebastian.
Ok I will not turn him. I feel pang of guilt when he said thank you 😭

[tough pelican]

I have a rule that if someone was willing to do it for me, I'd do it for them

[tough pelican]

You'd feel even worse once you speak to Seb in the last mission. It's pretty nice

But then Ominis is depressed more than he already is

You can't break up friends like that UNLESS Sebastian tried to kill him. Then I'd say Avada is in order

[loud heart]

Yeah he looks like he lost his soul

[feral locust]

I forgot to save at that point.

[tough pelican]

And then youd make him lose his heart 😦

Sparing Sebastian a fate worse than death is a good ending. Gryffindor.

Murdered rightfully

[feral locust]

wow\

[loud heart]

Avalanche whyyyy 😔

[tough pelican]

You're the same kind of person who would defend lighting people on fire and still say Avada is worse.

At least we Dark Arts users kill our opponents nice and quick.

Do you believe the spell should be banned?

Lighting people on fire. Incendio

[feral locust]

Spells that usually considered good can still be used for evil purposes. This really depends on the person who use it, same goes to Unforgivable curses, or any jinx or curses.

[tough pelican]

omg daylight savings time just hit me like a bag of bricks

[dull canyon]

The only spell we know of that can only be used for evil/selfish purposes is the horcux making spell

[tough pelican]

no seriously it did, allow me to continue with this debate

[feral locust]

🤣

[tough pelican]

If someones trying to kill me, my intent will be to harm, just as yours with incendio will be to light a dude on fire.

[dull canyon]

that kills without ear muffes

ok not that one

[feral locust]

That being said, the mandrake our MC used in-game are adult or baby?

[tough pelican]

this daylight savings thing really caught me off guard. dang.

[feral locust]

🤣

[honest karma]

Mrs Moffet sat on a toffet plucking her diracawls bald

[tough pelican]

I mean... I don't have anywhere to be "today" but still...

Oh I would in a second

[feral locust]

Maybe earnuffs hadn't been invented back in Victoria era?

[tough pelican]

If Victor Rookwood walked up to me, knowing the pain he caused, my crucio would work very well.

Actually, it did work very well, as did my Avada Kedavra 😄

Ok but really, how is it already Daylight savings time?

[dull canyon]

so an hour forward or back?

[tough pelican]

I mean that more than I m ean any curse atm. Like what the heck.

[tough pelican]

An hour forward. At least the sun stays out a bit longer now.

[feral locust]

Sometime, being sleepless feels like a curse.

[tough pelican]

Ok but really like... Where did this come from?

[honest karma]

up at 8 am yesterday, familiy function 12 to 2, work 4 to 4, 3 hours sleep and now at 6 am i find out i have to deal with daylight saving today sigh

[feral locust]

Surprised you are still standing with this sleeping time per day.

[honest karma]

@feral locust just another 4 or so hours then bed probably,

[feral locust]

Is that the named boss troll?( I use Chinese, so don't really know what it's called in English)

[honest karma]

funny name indeed i didn't realize it was an infamous foe till i beat it thought it was like river or forest troll

[feral locust]

glad you got enough sleep to keep yourself standing.

[honest karma]

oh i am feeling it believe me

[feral locust]

Or Swamp Troll

I died twice in a roll to those wolves..lol

The wolves are good, the problem is the inferi

I wonder if this wolf is a reference to the Witcher

And you only have two spells to actually damage those things.

[dull canyon]

When the White Wolf fought...

[feral locust]

Like I said, I wonder if this wolf is a reference to the Witcher.

[dull canyon]

Inferi are just animated corpses. No souls are inside them thankfully. Still disrepectful to the dead

[honest karma]

well i'm off to grab some dinner

[dull canyon]

Who knows, have to ask the devs

[feral locust]

Remind me where do you live?

[tough pelican]

I need Sebastian and Ominis dlc tomorrow. Now.

[dull canyon]

I love how random inferi show up in graveyards and theirs npcs nearby not batting an eye.

[tough pelican]

I'll even throw Poppy in there, but eh...

[feral locust]

Not until July 25th at least.

[dull canyon]

I expected we may see Poppy's parents or something after that reveal

[feral locust]

Don't mind me, but I kinda like Poppy.

She said they are in Indonesia

They are probably seasoned poachers, I rekon acromantula shouldn't be a problem.

[tough pelican]

I actually really liked Poppy. She acts like your characters younger sister. Also, she reminds me of Lucy from Narnia. Idk why

[feral locust]

Surprised she kept this as a scret all this time.

[tough pelican]

Sebastian, Ominis, and my character are bros for life though 😎

[dull canyon]

Oh great... just what i needed to know. Yah ok, she's indirectly responsible for many deaths then. Umm. authorities should really deal with that

[feral locust]

I feel like she's way more cunning for a ordinary Hufflepuff.

[tough pelican]

I sometimes forget that she is a Hufflepuff because Hufflepuffs are just… Hufflepuffs…

[dull canyon]

Should have put a stop to that they should have. Those spiders are dangerous.

I figured that town was were the Abscoder would be. Is it?

[feral locust]

All those famous hufflepuffs are not ordinary hufflepuffs.

Like Newt, Tonks

[tough pelican]

Idk… They’re like the total opposite. Slytherins are very particular about who they “accept.”
Hufflepuffs just love everyone naturally… ew.

[feral locust]

Not being a house racist, but most Hufflepuffs are too normal.

[tough pelican]

I mean it’s not just about being exceptional

[feral locust]

oh, and Thesus Scamander

[tough pelican]

No be proud of showing your inner Slytherin, please.

[feral locust]

😆

At least the quest giver lives in that town.

[tough pelican]

There’s a reason why we Slytherins have only the best of the best.

I’m not gonna speak for someone like Goyle, who’s a disgrace, but especially during the time of Hogwarts Legacy, Slytherin takes it home.

[dull canyon]

Ok then, thanks

[feral locust]

Also, the guy during beast class.

[tough pelican]

Oh yea he was annoying. The only bad Slytherin really.

[dull canyon]

thankfully it only has 1 attack

I took out the first one so this one won't be a problem. its just scary to look at. devs did their best to make em as scary as possible.

I've face loads by now. had to power through the earliest ones you fight. thankfully burger mod exists if i need it

the houses really shoudl have been more united. caused many problems over time. well mostly between gry and sly

[tough pelican]

Ew

Yes let us all hold hands and sing songs and live happily ever after!

Because the world is just a place that is filled with peace and harmony. Everyone is loving and great and deserves all the happiness the world can bring…

[feral locust]

other three house did united against Tom Riddle during battle of Hogwarts.

[tough pelican]

I may vomit…

[dull canyon]

and many slytherins came back to fight LV in the battle. alas thats not mentioned in the book. only after the release

[feral locust]

Draco did give Harry his wand after he's done faking his death.

[tough pelican]

I like when the Malfoys dipped lol

[dull canyon]

Seems the racism in sly only really began by LVs time or after he left school. Doesn't seem to be an issue in Newt's time

[tough pelican]

The real extremists came with Voldemort

[feral locust]

Yeah

Before him, most of our Slytherins are generally nice towards others

[tough pelican]

Also, Voldemort recruited Slytherins because they’re the only house that get things done. Imagine a Hufflepuff in battle? Tossing flower heads at wizards? Nuh uh.

[feral locust]

So he said he's a decend to Salazar Slytherin because his mother being a Gaunt, right?

[dull canyon]

most DEs thought he was dead anyway

symbolic, not literally

[tough pelican]

Yea… And Tom thinks himself a true Slytherin. Gag.

[feral locust]

The power of love( on a bad term)

[dull canyon]

cunning, ambitious, resourceful, a certain disregard for the rules, traits salazar prized

[tough pelican]

It’s really too late to get into that now lol. I’ve already gone through this last night…

[tough pelican]

They are also shown to have extreme loyalty to their INNER CIRCLE. Arguably more loyal than a Hufflepuff when it comes to their INNER CIRLCE

Please note I said “INNER CIRCLE”

[feral locust]

When someone says someone being a true XXX(whatever house), that means they strongly shows the trait the founder values

[dull canyon]

Ismelda has the traits of slytherin, ambitious in her desire to be the best broom racer. Merlin had them with all the stuff he was up to in arthruian legend and wanting to unite wizard/muggle kind and bring equality between them

[tough pelican]

Dependent. But then I’d question if those in the inner circle would remain loyal to help accomplish said persons goals

[feral locust]

Ismelda, you mean the character from Mobile game?

[dull canyon]

No your one who sets time trials in this game. is that not her name? may have confused it

[feral locust]

Slytherins can be extermely loyal to his/her own inner circle, like his/her little friendship circle,

[tough pelican]

It’s like the Malfoys. Sure, they served Voldemort. But when it came down to it, Lucius, Draco, and Narcissa only cared for their family, AKA, inner circle. That’s why they all dipped

[feral locust]

Ishidora?

You can dislike that, but frankly this is kinda true, and we are ok with it.

[dull canyon]

no the student who is super confindent in her times on the broom flying time trials. Isadora was a ravenclaw

[tough pelican]

So in regards to Hogwarts Legacy (depending on the player) Seb, Ominis and MC are the inner circle. Anyone outside that circle, none of them care. Ominis shows minor signs of this how he only wanted Seb, him and Anne to know about the undercroft, whereas a Hufflepuff would reveal it for all to see!

[dull canyon]

Many characters have traits from all the houses, AD, the Trio etc

[tough pelican]

Because Hufflepuffs are just so loving and accepting… gag

They’d turn the undercroft into a literal zoo

[dull canyon]

tell that to the one in HL who is actually the biggest racist in the game from what i read

[tough pelican]

Hufflepuffs would be the first to go in a zombie apocalypse

[dull canyon]

to ensure their safety if anything happened or potentially could

like if i learn someone has my friend hostage in a secret location, i'm telling people were it is if i know said location

[tough pelican]

They’re loyal to everyone they meet. They’re the type of person that would call someone their “best friend” just because said “best friend” says “hi” and “bye” to them in the hallways

Ok I need sleep

[dull canyon]

same.

[tough pelican]

[dull canyon]

Im just saying even though i promised not to reveal it, if such a situation arose as outlined above, im revealing the location

im surprised it wasnt found earlier. that entrance stands out compared to other things in that area imo.

heck Salazar put his secret sanctum entrance near his own common room. you telling me no one lit those torches nearby for eons?

a powerful enough wizard could light em all in one go

which remains|?

Oh yah.

Just blow the wall open

who knows

like castles and fortresses of old, hidden routes to and fro. quick escapes and hideaways

indeed. I imagine the tunnels are kept secret later.

Then you have the Keeper vaults which are god knows were on the map.

hmm, except we spend more time in gameplay not doing that

only reason we know we do is the season changes

Yah but only so many times i can go to class before that bores me personally. i mean given the option to explore the local countryside and the castle, i;m doing those things

ik. you know what i'd like, if the next game had rooms from older ps games in them. like founders tower etc

yah they could more with the merlin trials lore wise and with magic since they are just variations of each other

one of them is literally just jumping on blocks without falling and you can fly over them for that

and apparently no one thought just throw mallowsweets on em to make em work

i wanna know more bout his work cos that the first time in any lore that anything of Merlin's is confirmed to survive.

Yah. But like there's written work he wrote that survives. I wanna read that. I want to know what he wrote about. How much info on him or his life is in there and known to wizards given how little is known of him in lore and in muggle legends

Well he was real in HP lore and little is known of his life in it. Not his era of living though it had to be between late 900s and 1500s. nor were he was buried or his wand type

oh and a book belonging to him may be in the headmaster's office that is written in runes that is apparently not dechipered yet

and he may have marked his possessions with a mark though that is only an answer to a hypotheical question on porttermore quiz

Yah maybe

and we know in HL canon, he once dueled Morgana.

Morgana le Fay - sorcererss of arthurian legend, arthur's healer, a queen of avalon and later his half sister, merlin's apprentice/lover/enemy etc. it changed over time like all the legends.

im off to sleep. have a gn. pleasure chatting with yall. cya yall later

[long bobcat]

[elfin gulch]

Hufflepuffs know part of it:

There was an investigation into his disappearance, and his innocent girlfriend ended up sent to Azkaban based on the word of a Slytherin (Appolonia Black) that may or may not have loved him, but that Jackdaw tried to woe. Anne Thisbe (the girlfriend at the time), was sent to Azkaban based on the information gathered by then Auror Helen Thisslewood, after Jackdaw’s ghost appeared in Hogsmeade before disappearing for years.
Eventually, Eldritch Diggory, the great Uncle of Helen Thisslewood, heard about the missing pages searched by a student, and made the connection with Jackdaw. Anne received the visit of Helen and the MC in Azkaban, and was already halfway mad, though she helped find an indication of where to find Jackdaw.

After incontrovertible proof was provided, Helen agreed to do her best to get Anne out of prison.

As for Appolonia, she started turning mad in her house, and ended up poisoning herself despite being warned by her House elf, scroope, who ended up serving Headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black afterwards.

Over the three main character of Jackdaw’s story, i.e. Jackdaw, Thissle and Black, none of them lived free and sane past the age of 25.

[kind comet]

There’s a door with some sort of lock thing in the Clock Towers Courtyard and I can’t figure out how to unlock it. It has some chains in front of it which opens and locks on repeat

[honest karma]

@elfin gulch I thought Anne rotted in Azkaban because Helen died?

@kind comet I think I know what your asking about do you want a hint or me to just straight out tell you?

[kind comet]

Straight out

[honest karma]

The clock pendulum is swinging back and forth in front of 4 symbols may need to look up a bit to see them I think they're o the first or second floor that match 4 doors in the clocktower at different levels. That door that keeps opening and shutting is one of them. What you need to do is freeze the pendulum (arresto momentum or glacius work) in front of each of the symbols one by one to open each door and loot what's behind htem.

[elfin gulch]

Also, you can give it one freeze for each symbol then go to the doors, and once the doors are fully open, they’ll stay open.

Second hogwarts secret.

[honest karma]

May not have played far enough just don't remember any resolution on the Anne/Helen front just Helen getting hit with some spell that left her crumpled on the ground saying she was going to get help. Not promising for her and you never actually return to tell her what you found

[elfin gulch]

Helen Thisslewood is the auror the hufflepuff MC helps. I don’t remember her dying, but I do remember her sending you a letter after getting scratched by Anne’s claws. She says she has been treated and will work on freeing Anne.

• freeing anne

[honest karma]

ah haven't played far enough for the letter then. She never actually died just looked pretty messed up and the quest just ended so I assumed she passed away from the curse or whatever Anne hit her with

[elfin gulch]

Nope, but the letter is easy to miss, as it doesn’t start a quest afterwards.

[honest karma]

good to know she does survive and Anne is going to spend the rest of her life wondering what she might have achieved if she hadn't spent most of it in Azkaban

[elfin gulch]

And Anne just clawed at her with her nails, nothing more.

[honest karma]

Could have sworn it was something more given all that black magic around the strike

[elfin gulch]

Maybe, but wandless magic in a lass barely out of Hogwarts? More likely to be very pointy nails and a lot of dirt… Especially given the fact that Helen doesn’t make a huge deal out of it.

[honest karma]

She has spent I think 50 odd years surrounded by dark magic users. I just got the impression she focused on the idea of revenge hence why she made Helen to come close to ensure she managed to connect. It was literally her one shot and she didn't know if she could do it at a distance

Just rewatched the scene definately magic not dirt. She focuses you see black smoke going up from her hands then when she hits Helen you see green smoke coming off the strike

[elfin gulch]

Might be ^^ Anyways, Helen sends you an owl afterwards (or maybe it’s jackdaw telling you he is currently working with Helen?).

[honest karma]

good to know even if Anne's life has been utterly ruined and the one who did it gets off technically scott free as I suspect her insanity would have happened anyway

anyway i'm off to bed night

[kind comet]

Should I always say yes to the gold I can get from side quests?

[grand kindle]

Oh yea do it.. it's like 500 coins that's golden

[grand kindle]

You deserve to get paid for doing services for other people. They just lazy to do it themselves. Don't let them fool you to do it for them for free.

[kind comet]

What do I get after completing all merlin trials?

[ebon kestrel]

Gear slots

[blazing grotto]

If you do ALL of them you get an achievement.

[vivid grotto]

i currently trying to collect all field pages in hogwarts
got 149/150 but neither Hogwarts region says its missing a field page

[red finch]

There’s a bugged flying page in the Bell Tower region, flying over the gardens behind the greenhouse. It doesn’t count when picked up

It’s an issue for a lot of players

[vivid grotto]

do i need that one for the achievement?

[red finch]

No only the Revelio ones count towards the achievement

[mystic snow]

"Revellio sir?" Yes, a revealing charm." Damn who knew?

[naive holly]

lol one of my favorite parts: ||When Rookwood shows up in the three broomsticks and says he's after you and everyone in the shop gets up, wands out, as if to say "what you wanna do?"||

[dull canyon]

Yah he is a dumbass there. Yes the people in the pub are totally going to let him kidnap a child for his obviously nefarious plot with Goblins.

[naive holly]

fr like what did he expect to happen in a hogwarts friendly village literally next door to the school?

[tough pelican]

I think Rookwood thought he owned the place

[dull canyon]

Which totally gives him the right to commit crimes in said place, oh wait...

[blazing grotto]

Imagine if they had taken Rookwood out there.

[lofty valve]

I just beat the game

Where are the credits?

[mystic snow]

I always felt it was really weird that Rookwood said "you can't drink buttbear forever kid" or something and then immediately after Natty or Seb are like "Let's talk outside." I'm always thinking uhh isn't Rookwood waiting outside for us...?

[naive holly]

Took him out behind the broomsticks and gave him a little "talkin' to" for trying to get at a student of hogwarts

[ebon kestrel]

Breaking news! Victor rookwood found beaten bloody and almost died behind the three broomsticks

[naive holly]

Aurors determine nothing of note and no investigation is needed.

A bar patron who was seen leaving the 3 broomsticks with bloody knuckles claims to have seen nothing.

"It was a rather uneventful evening at the 3 broomsticks until someone found the poor lad out behind the back door, surely seems like he's seen better days"

The daily prophet attempted to reach out to Sirona Ryan, current owner of the 3 broomsticks, but received no response.

😂 I'm having too much fun with this

I mean, I did also refer to my wand as "The Street Sweeper" so ya know, not out of the ordinary for a Slytherin

[dull canyon]

I found it odd ollivander didnt come out to help with dealing with rookwood when he showed up at anvient wand quest. Like it happens just outside the door of is shop, so either he went to back of his shop or wasn't looking outside the shop

[slender prawn]

i've never struggled to complete a quest as much as those damn spiders one do

[dull canyon]

Arachnaphobic or just sheer numbers of them making if difficult or both?

[slender prawn]

Just genuine disgust towards them

[dull canyon]

Well they seem to actively hate us and aren't a sight for sore eyes

[slender prawn]

Never been a fan of spiders

[slender prawn]

Mhm, have to do the quests though

[dull canyon]

Many aren't including Seb and MC

Yah thanfuly they are among the least tanky enemies in the game

[slender prawn]

Thank god for that

[elfin gulch]

Imagine an acromantula with the spell resistance of a dugbog, that you need to plant headfirst into the ground to manage to deal damage to…

[dull canyon]

Well i was underleveled in damage when i fought the first so kinda felt like a dugbog.

Haven't gone for the 2nd yet. Need to get to the game and get better gear and add traits to get better damage output cos the final boss is a damage sponge for me rn

[elfin gulch]

Do 2 ancient magic 3 and 4 ancient magic focus, and the final bosses will feel like paper, on top of being able to launch ancient magic every 10-20 spells.

[dull canyon]

Yah i need to upgrade that meter. i have all core done i think.

[rotund hazel]

I think i found a bug.. the challenge part with fight/exploration/revelio and all that…. Well one of the challenge is call : beat knowed person.. but if you use impero during a fight and a enemies kill the known person, you don’t get the kill in the quest

[shrewd night]

I’d love to see the following things in DLC:

1. Azkaban
2. Quidditch
3. Patronus
4. More elemental spells

It’s quite weird how there’s like 4 fire spells and only one ice spell. I wouldn’t have minded an electric or earth spell

[kind comet]

What name sign should I pick for my shop?

[dim creek]

I don't think it actually matters much, just pick the one you like the most.

[gusty totem]

4?

[feral locust]

Bro rip Mary the spider lady

[shrewd night]

3 basically: Incendio, Confrigo and Bombarda. Diffindo and Expelliarmus aren’t fire spells.

Well 5 red spells

[gusty totem]

Bombarda doesn’t count, it’s explosive not incendiary

[hollow agate]

not to mention said ice spell is more about CC than damage

[feral locust]

Only 2 fire spells

[gusty totem]

tempest jinx

[ebon kestrel]

You know how cressida is trying to make a new charm? what if we do that with a element of your choosing

[neat widget]

It's about finding Randolph Beaumont. At the end I didn't tell Claire the truth, but chose the answer that Randolph had started a new life. The quest is no longer seen in the list of orders.
However, I later saw a lock icon on the map (above the area where I fought Randolph). When hovering, the text comes up that I still have to inform Claire. But when I go to Upper Hogsfield I no longer have a corresponding option when speaking to her.
My question now: will the quest count as correctly completed? Or am I no longer able to get the "complete all quests" achievement?

[ebon kestrel]

i think that gringotts guard snitched to ranrok

[honest karma]

definately since he was there when rankrok shows up and he's wearing a red band

On another note Mrs Moffett sat on her toffet plucking her diracawls bald. Why do I feel giving Gwynneth to her is a bad idea . . .

[calm kestrel]

I felt so sketch about that one that even though usually I am going oh ok here it is, that one I went nope, keeping it.

[dull canyon]

I hope i didnt give it to her now. I missed her intention for it if i did that quest. I don't recall if i did that quest or not.

[honest karma]

She does prmise to give her a good life and pluck her feathers sparingly but still i have a bd feeling

I mena it might be no worse than someone keeping a beloved sheep for their wool as she does seem to care at least a little if only for her value but . . .

I am very unsure of my choice on that one in the end I went with handing her over because of three things (1) You do get diracawl feathers from your pets without hurting them and (2) even after the quest when she's walking off she say's she'll use the feathers sparingly. That to me feels like it nots aimed at trickign you but her genuine action. Finally Gwyneira is a local legend so if the other villagers see her being abused they probably would act. So while I'm not comfortable I do think she will genuinely give the diracawl a good life and only use the molted feathers. Plus she is a diracawl and can teleport away if need be

[hollow agate]

i was unsure whether to give her the diracawl or to keep her until i heard two npc's talking about how she only wants her for her own fashion designs as i was coming back from the quest

so i just kept her for myself

[honest karma]

Oh she does only want her for that but she also is aware she shouldn't kill the goose that lays the golden egg in the hopes its full of them and really don't we only want Gwyneira because she's a "shiny" critter

[hollow agate]

i put her in the coastal vivarium so i hope she enjoys the serene music

[honest karma]

I'm sure she will, I gave her to Mrs Moffett

[hollow agate]

honestly tho, her reaction to me keeping her made me glad i chose that option

[honest karma]

strangely it helped me decide to hand her over. Mrs Moffet's reaction to being denied when she's enraged and will slip up in her language is "I'm the one who had the idea to rescue her." sure she also talks about being unable to finish her dresses but her first focus is "rescue her" with her dress designs second

On another note why is the southern coast green in midwinter? This is Scotland it should all be covered in snow like everywhere else

[hollow agate]

yeah i was thinking that too when i got there during winter. just chucked it up to "oh its more south, closer to the equator or something." and moved on, even tho that makes absolutely zero sense

[honest karma]

its stil north of england though

[hollow agate]

well yeah, thats why it makes zero sense. it looks like that bottom part of the map looks more like its stuck in autumn or something

[honest karma]

it is dissapointing i was looking forward to seeing it in winter. I shall just have to headcannon it like I do other things like the spell masteries and the keeper wand

[feral locust]

Glad I'm not the only one who found this weired.

Sadly, beside fighting-back snowman and a few snow on your head, winter is not that great. I mean can we at least have a cutscene about Chrismas

[honest karma]

the lack of piled snow was dissapointing as is the slight snowfall with a clear sky and no proper thunderstorms in autumn

[hollow agate]

my only gripe about winter was that no one else changed their clothes for the cold

[feral locust]

Maybe robes is enough to keep you warmed?

[honest karma]

or a warming charm

[feral locust]

I mean I intend to wear a house color scarf for the fitting purposes beside school uniform.

[honest karma]

still lots of little quality of life things that coucld be added like giving us a school uniform that is actually UNIFORM with what the other students are wearing instead of 50 variations that don't quite match

[feral locust]

I still wish for skirt length can be the same as 90s, you know in the film.

[honest karma]

there are a few. Its one of my gripes (along with NPC's calling me across half a map to meet THEN telling me they want to scrabble through a dirtty great cave when I'm wearing an ankle length dress). Sadly for outfits I can have ankle length or matching tie not both if I want to wear the school uniform. Always some diffrerences and there are a shortage of dresses ankle or knee length

[hollow agate]

i wore a house scarf and some green gloves

[honest karma]

I vary my outfits and hair based on what I'm doing e.g. quidditch outfit and goggles with a tight braid or bun if i'm flying the races, swimsuit for water swimming, pyjama's when waiting the night in my common room and loose hair, patially tied back hair and the ankle length skirt for normal uniform wear etc

[hollow agate]

oh thats some dedication

especially the night part

[honest karma]

I don't do it every night because the game loves to shove them on me so I ignore and wait 1 or 2 then return to the common room for the "actual night". Seriously the days here are ridiculously short sun rises walk downstairs and do a class, its night again

currently wearing the ankle length woodlands ensemble, furcoat, looesened umber scarf and leather flatcap. Winteroutfit for the group multi day holiday excursion Imelda arranged for her southern flying trial

then to taunt me all the snow is missing in the southern rea of the map

[feral locust]

dueling while wearing skirt is totally fine with me, except that having a skirt that length could possibly affect your casting gesture( we all see our MC do have a lot of gesture)

[hollow agate]

sounds like irl lol, you pack clothes because you think its going to be cold somewhere but it ends up being warm for the clothes you have on

[honest karma]

and i'm drenched in sweat and overheating while the local all bundled up in blankets it complaining about how cold it is

[feral locust]

white glove is my favorite,

[honest karma]

also i really want a watch, clock or the waiting to take you to just after sunrise insteda of just before so your never entirely sure if its day or night when waiting

I'd like them more if they didn't have the symbol on

[feral locust]

Ultimaly, we can see all kinds of evidence of game being rushed, but considering the status of the game, I would give Avalanche a big round of applause.

Perhaps they want to go deeper with some of the system, just not enough time to do so.

[honest karma]

oh i'd do the same you can see both the love for teh setting and respect for the lore everywhere. I'm on my first playthrough, in winter and iwth over 80 hours played

[feral locust]

I see. for whatever reason, I'm been playing this game since Feb 8th almost exclusivly during my free time...

[hollow agate]

this was their first true AAA game and I feel like they did a good job, props on them for delaying the old gen versions too and not rushing them out like CDPR did with cyberpunk, that helped a lot and is most likely one of the biggest reasons why this game will be remembered as very successful

[feral locust]

Yeah, Disney Infinity don't even close to AAA.

[hollow agate]

kinda funny how they went from Disney to WB considering these companies have been rivals for almost half a century now

[feral locust]

Disney shut down the studios back in 2016,and WB revived it by aquiring them in 2017

[hollow agate]

good on them, hope they keep making good games

[honest karma]

could use a bit more room between the rings on these flying courses given the broomstick controls

[feral locust]

And I don't think any normal being inside the WB game's excective would give this IP only to Avalanche to develop.

[hollow agate]

considering that it sold 12 million units in just 2 weeks i bet they already had a change of plans for the future of this IP now

[feral locust]

I mean the studios are now filled with talented person who's also a fan of the HP

[hollow agate]

thats good, attention to detail is important

[feral locust]

They already said they want HL to be a long- running francise, and rumor said an HBO show is going down as well.

[hollow agate]

wonder whats that gonna be about

[dull canyon]

either a reboot of HP books or a new story

[honest karma]

I think it'll be "this character"

[feral locust]

idk,but I really wish Amelia Gething will have a role.

She voiced the female MC and she's an actress

[hollow agate]

do you mean the movies? like a retelling but still the same story? because i dont think JK will ever allow them to change the story of the books as long as she's around

[honest karma]

you could easily get a couple of seasons of "Hogwarts Legacy" following a 15 year old learning about ancient magic, confronting the threats and the like

[feral locust]

Seriously, just make the show have the quality of TLOU

[dull canyon]

If only someone who could sense ancient magic was around in TRs time in Hogwarts, they could sense his horcrux in his ring via ancient magic sense

[hollow agate]

TLOU is one of the best examples why following source material is really important

[honest karma]

that could be said about most things today. Stop trying to push messages first and focus on quality and good storytelling you'll do well. I remember the Disney vision boards a few years back that had "Diversity" on them three times ABOVE good storytelling. Diversity is fine (as long as your not say telling a story about a time/location where it doesn't exist) but storytelling should always be your number one concern

[feral locust]

Speaking of which, if you guys don't like Serona's Voice, try Japanese VO

[hollow agate]

this game had a good mix of diversity and respect to the source material, it really felt like the people making it cared deeply about the world and setting while also putting in diversity. sadly, a lot of companies dont care about the former much

[feral locust]

I am so ok with this level of diversity

[honest karma]

which is why its done so well.

Unlike stories like Velma where its obvious the show writer wants to tell "their story" but is only using the IP name to try and draw in viewers as they have zero respect for it

[hollow agate]

yeah, unfortunately a lot of today's writers just pick a popular brand/IP and use it to get exposure while trying to tell their own story because they can't be bothered creating something unique

[honest karma]

and it inevitably does poorly because the people who might be interested in what they're writing lump it in with the IP and don't watch while the fan's of the IP do watch and hate it

[feral locust]

I think skirt length is a perfect example of addressing this issue. ankle length do covered a lot, but still shows what a student should look like while being good-looking at the same time.

[hollow agate]

well im glad the HP IP is kinda safe in that regard... for now

[honest karma]

@feral locust Yep why I usually try to wear them because its what a girl in this time period would wear.

@hollow agate At least JK is not selling the IP to anyone for a profit and instead wants to ensure its treated properly for her views

unlike lord of the rings

[feral locust]

I'm a native Chinese, so my mind set is totally ok with a little bit diversity while still being elegant

[honest karma]

I have made an exception for winter as the only uniform with a jumper and skirt is knee length

[hollow agate]

yeah, a shame the creator isnt around to do anything. even his son who died 3 years ago probably wouldnt like it, how awful that they decided to just misuse it so much after the creators die

[honest karma]

@feral locust I'm ok with what you'd call natural diversity. New york modern day go nuts you'll find most races in there so its fine. Anne Bolynn no (1) because shes' a real historical figure who was a white skinned redhead so making her black is bad on many levels and (2) because a dark skinned person is not going to be marrying the king of england in that time period. Same with telling the story of Mulan and just shoving a random caucasian in the army makes no sense. On the other hand the last samurai does work because the reason the white skinned person is in there is explained. you have reasons and in world it makes sense

sadly holly wood is all about token forced diversity we need an afrikan or asian in this movie for diversity. It makes no sense, it has no explanation, it doesn't address how a person like that would be treated differently in world. Even wrose is diveristy that breaks lore like the hobbits and black dwaves/elves in the lord of the rings on amazon

[feral locust]

True.. I'm not supposed to talk about mod, but for example the one with short skirt( the most popular one) is really ridiculous in my opinion.

[honest karma]

I'd like more skirts especially wth things like jumpers but i'm quite happy with the long ones because to me they make sense. As does the diversity in the game. Indians in Britain? Makes sense in this time period as India is part of the British Empire and Britain is the place many people get sent for education by the upper class. Natsai in Hogwarts? Makes sense we have an inworld explanation for why she and her mother have moved here from Afrika.

[feral locust]

Uganda is a commonwealth nation

that make a lot more sense now.

[honest karma]

Yep but even if it weren't her personal direct story is given, explained adn works in world

Also on a completely different note. I just ran into two dark wizards and we both spent about a minute and a half casting leviosa on each other before one rather annoyed demanded we stop the buffonery

[feral locust]

I know a lot of Chinese player really don't like Natty, just because she's black.

[feral locust]

lol

[honest karma]

to be fair that's a more general attitude of racism a lot of them have rather than a dislike of forced diversity

hmm prakesh wants to sell me a second aeromancer broom

[feral locust]

I encountered that as well

[honest karma]

I am also disturbed that apparently you can leviosa then depulso the cats and if they hit the right boundary they'll fly off into the distance

[feral locust]

Anyway, for now, all I want is a photo mode and sleeping on the bed or siting on a chair or a bench can advance day or night.

[dull canyon]

then just don;t do it Senko.

[hollow agate]

im surprised the game doesnt have a photo mode tbh

[feral locust]

I didn't even know you can do that

[feral locust]

maybe they didn't have the time to do that

[honest karma]

I'm not hence my use of the word aparently.

I just use the capture mode been taking a lot of pictures since I found out that works.

There's a lot of little hidden things in the game like the windows where the stained glass changes with the seasons

[hollow agate]

i confringo'd one of my puffskeins by accident 😦

[dull canyon]

well consoles and pcs have screenshot function but yah i'd like to photo the landscape without the mc in the way

[feral locust]

I always pet or just ignore the cats in the game.

[honest karma]

I hit them with spells far too often given i have to hit R2 for basic cast and to select teh feed option

[hollow agate]

i used to pet pretty much every cat i came across at the start but then realized these cats are endless so i stopped. there's just way too many to pet

[dull canyon]

Hmm same

[honest karma]

i still pet them like the purr

[feral locust]

Well, at least you have four vivraiums' beasts to pet.

[honest karma]

I was dissapointed there aren't enough slots to get a breeding pair of every colour

[feral locust]

Speaking of which, I failed to capture a + Fwooper and she disspeared.

sad

[plucky spire]

So like I accidentally miss click and didn’t learn the Avada kedavra so what do to learn it or and I screw 💀

[dull canyon]

just reload the save file before that point or || don't turn seb in||

[feral locust]

You can still learn at the end of the quest if you don't turn him in.

I mean his entire questline.

[plucky spire]

I finished his whole quest line and also I didn’t turn him in

And I didn’t get it

[hollow agate]

he should be at the undercroft if you wanna learn it, same goes for the other two curses if you didnt learn them

[plucky spire]

Alr appreciate the help

[feral locust]

I never try that myself, but I though you can still do that, right?

[hollow agate]

i think if you turn him in he disappears for good but i didnt try

[feral locust]

He did, I can confirm that.(something I regret）

[honest karma]

he does

I think Dugbogs are harder than trolls. They come in packs leviosa often bounces off them and they're constantly charging you while taking little damage

[plucky spire]

In my next run I’ll do the opposite from what I did this time

[dull canyon]

slow them on the charge i think

[hollow agate]

i learned all the curses from the get go so i didnt know you could still find him in the undercroft to learn them if you hadn't, but im glad the devs did that as a failsafe

[feral locust]

Well, you can levioso their ass when they are about to slam you with it's tougne and use any purple spell to spin them up after they charged at you.

[feral locust]

Same

[honest karma]

@feral locust Oh I know the mechanics they just don't work that well. I leviosa the tongue and the spell richochets off them because of terrain angle. Not to mention trying to target the one charging/licking you in a pack of 5 where others keep moving in the way

[feral locust]

Well, Ancient magic will always be the final solution🤣

[honest karma]

its not strong enough on them. I use it and it only doses about a quarter of their health

at least i'm finaly done with their chlalenge so i can avoid them now

[hollow agate]

leviosa and diffindo is instant kill

[honest karma]

again not for me only does about 3/4 health

[hollow agate]

oh, thats weird

[feral locust]

this combo is always a instant kill for me.

[honest karma]

hasn't been an insta kill for me since the begining of the game

[hollow agate]

are they higher level than you?

[honest karma]

i don't think so

[feral locust]

hmmm

[scarlet ridge]

Bacon donut

[honest karma]

is it wrong i want to claim one of these abanodoned long ago no doubt places like hte manor in the south and fix it up as my home?

[feral locust]

After graduation? defintly.

[hollow agate]

why does the MC keep saying that everytime i go near one of those, are they usually ancient magic hotspots? the one near hogsmeade doesnt have one

[honest karma]

Maybe I've not been paying that much attention assuming it was just an old building. I do usually say this stuff to draw my attention to something.

I feel they missed an opportunity with the spells instead of mastery it should be ancient magic. e.g. You use incendio as a stream of fire combine ancient magic and you get a ring as well

[feral locust]

Wait, Oscar is happening right now?

[dull canyon]

Ancient magic is basically just amped up regular magic in the game and any magic of sufficient age, a few centuries old at any rate

[feral locust]

But they somehow made it that only few persons can either see and use it.

[dull canyon]

Ik. Seems the rare thing is just being able to see the traces of it thus allowing it to be used to full effect but it can be used by anyone if they have proper means like goblin silver stuff

[feral locust]

I don't think it worked that way.

[dull canyon]

But gameplay wise its just amped up magic and a spidy sense for hidden things that one otherwise cannot see even with magic

Like it seems AD wouldn't be able to use revelio and see the AM that way unless had the gift of seeing the traces of it

[feral locust]

Possibly

[dull canyon]

otherwise if you learn where it is an have goblin silver stuff to harness it, the power is yours to use as Ranrok showed

[feral locust]

Well, perhaps Avalanche needs to explain how our MC is able to see the trace.

Or anyone who can see the traces.

[dull canyon]

Cos if I recall Fig couldn't see the magic right in front of him while we could. Nothing to explain, its just a gift they got from their genes. Magic be like that. It just decides ok you get this, and you get that

[honest karma]

wandering around trying to figure out how to get at the ancient magic oh stuff it I'll use a broom accidentally blast roof explodes adn a box you can move nearly lands on my head.

neither could george the gift is an ability to see magic.

I just feel if ancient magic amps up regular magic it'd be a good way to show our character learning to use it. You learn incendio then you learn to amp it up with ancient magic for the talent effect

[feral locust]

Somthing must be explained by Avalanche, and why both Ishidora and our MC start the school as fifth year.

[dull canyon]

Possibly a trait of AM. SImple as that. That is the common denominator between the 3 known innate wielders of it

[honest karma]

and percivil

[dull canyon]

Now I wonder if Merlin and Morgana and the founders were late bloomers if they had AM

[honest karma]

could be the hidden power of ravenclaws diadem it lets you see magic

[dull canyon]

I doubt it. All that does is allegedly increase wisdom. Didn't do Helena much good it looks

[feral locust]

Or the locket of Salazar Slytherin?🤣

[honest karma]

and how does one become wiser by seeing the effects of the magic one wields

[dull canyon]

they don't

Ancient magic traces did sound like horcrux whispher sound in game.

[honest karma]

alright i'm reaching still i do feel instead of spell mastery ancient magic spell would have been a better way to go.

And the box that nearly landed on my head doesn't appear to help in getting up to these traces

[feral locust]

ouch

[honest karma]

working on the manor ancient magic hotspot blew up a floor and a winguardiam box nearly hit me but it still doesn't seem to let me get up to them. I could do it easily with a broom but I feel that's nt how these are meant to be solved

[feral locust]

Yeah, that's what I like to do.

[honest karma]

this one however like the ancient magic on the chimney near hogwarts is stumping me

[hollow agate]

so if ancient magic wizards all start in fifth year, does that mean they couldnt use magic at all before?

[feral locust]

Our magic manifest way later than ordinary kid

[honest karma]

probably they can if you assume a or all founders had the ability then they'd have set the book up for delayed entry. There has to be a reason as its occured 3 times

[dull canyon]

you can just fly broom to some of the spots in the ancient magic spots

[feral locust]

Maybe this is a trait for being able to wield this magic

[hollow agate]

yeah, because i find it weird that they wouldnt receive a letter or anything at 11

[honest karma]

@dull canyon I can but I feel that's giving up and not the right way to solve them

[dull canyon]

well game gave me the option. same for those merlin trials

[feral locust]

This is probably because it manifested just recently.

[honest karma]

oh i feel like an idiot forgot you can leviosa a crate your on

[feral locust]

But tbh, I like doing this with the old-fashioned way.

[plucky spire]

on my last quest and I don’t understand how to complete the prepare for ur owls one ??

[hollow agate]

interesting, tho i imagine having magical parents and you end up thinking you're a squib or something until it manifests might be really depressing, although it might manifest only on muggleborn children, but that might be too specific.

[feral locust]

you don't need to prepare something, as for the field guide, you can always try to collect them after.

[feral locust]

We don't really know if we are squib or a muggle-born

[plucky spire]

The field guide has me confusing don’t even know what to do

[feral locust]

just go meet Professor Weasley, enjoy the cutscene and credit, then doing the collection afterwards.

[hollow agate]

you need to be lvl 34 for that quest btw

[feral locust]

Sorry if you find my words weired sometimes.

[plucky spire]

I’m just lvl 30 😭

[feral locust]

Wow, looks like you barely did any exploration

[plucky spire]

I guess I still need to explore and solve the puzzles

[hollow agate]

did you talk to proff Weasley?

[plucky spire]

Yep

[hollow agate]

ye once you get to lvl 34 the next quest unlocks

[dull canyon]

we're not a squib or we wouldnt be there. We;d have no magic period

[plucky spire]

Mhm good to know

[feral locust]

Go out there doing stuffs, and come back to receive house cup once you are level 34\

[plucky spire]

Mhm

[honest karma]

i'm level 36 currently and presumably a long way from that quest

[plucky spire]

Also still got some bandit camps to clear out and etc

[hollow agate]

i meant more like the idea of being a squib (even if you ain't) would be be pretty depressing until the MC became 15

[feral locust]

My Gryffindor are lvl 32 and I haven't meet Charles Rookwood

[honest karma]

I'm using that story for my hufflpuff. Indian magic user believed to be a squib sent away to England boarding school for a muggle education and so they can pretend he's getting hte best education till everyone forgets him. Thne invited to hogwarts at 15 and now trying to make his family proud while making connections.

[feral locust]

You got lots of things to do, go get youeself some good stuffs and enjoy the highland

[plucky spire]

Fr still got much to do and a few more hours of exploring

[feral locust]

I would love to use that Asian face, but somehow it feels weired.

[hollow agate]

i think this might be one of the only games i 100% without using a guide for the collectibles

[plucky spire]

Do you guys think this game would be a nominee for the GFTY

[hollow agate]

im glad the world map is split into sections and that it keeps track of the stuff you can find, otherwise it would be really lame if i ended up not seeing a field page in one hamlet then wondering which hamlet out of the 20 or w/e has it

[dull canyon]

Levels just determine what quests you can do and give some xp to your xp amount. Its gear and traits on them you need to use to get better stats

[hollow agate]

yes, but i dont think it will win it, not when its going up against the likes of Zelda and FFXVI (assuming FF doesn't muck it up somehow)

[feral locust]

same goes with me.

[plucky spire]

Fr

[honest karma]

especially given the hate some of these groups have for it due to its being harry potter. Like the game reviewer who gave it 1 starr

[feral locust]

Starfield and Zelda are too strong. But HL will be nominated

[hollow agate]

isnt starfield coming out a bit late to be a nominee this year?

[feral locust]

Yeah, especially due to the fact that people do the voting for the most part

[feral locust]

September is fine, remember God of War came out like November ,right?

[hollow agate]

oh right

i just hope the reviewers that are in the board for TGA actually agree to even nominate it

[honest karma]

oohhhh Alisia Travers. I can't help but think of Quintin Travers from Buffy

[feral locust]

You are watching Oscar?

[honest karma]

no idea who or what that is

i'm currently playing the game

[feral locust]

Academy Award?

[honest karma]

ah no haven't watched that ever, just not interested

[feral locust]

Ohhh.. sorry

[honest karma]

i feel guilty tried tasnfiguuring a sheep to see what happens, turned it inot a bag of galleons

[feral locust]

have you beaten the game

[honest karma]

no still on my first playtrhough and only up to winter

[feral locust]

did you unlock crushio imperio avada kedavra

any of them yet?

[ebon kestrel]

Free money baby

[honest karma]

@feral locust I've unlocked Crucio adn Imperio, they're part of sebastian's side quests and you have to choose if you learn them or not.

@ebon kestrel still feel guilty turning a poor animla into a sack of gold

[feral locust]

avada kedavra is good and all, but it has the longest cooldown

[ebon kestrel]

Bro would have died according to the crazy vegan’s logic (not all vegans think this just the crazy ones)

[feral locust]

its like a 2 min cooldown

[ebon kestrel]

And this is why pc is the best you get to (legally with no mods frfr) remove cooldowns

[honest karma]

@ebon kestrel I feel I missed a step or haven't gotten far enough to see the connection.

[ebon kestrel]

I hope you learn there is a reply button

[honest karma]

@ebon kestrel I am now even more confused. You replied to me about vegan logic and then about reply buttons

[ebon kestrel]

Ok there are vegans who think that sheep die to get wool and even though you have been on this platform longer than i have you have yet to learn that there is a button that is a reply function removing the need to ping someone in the message

[honest karma]

oh you were talking about the transfiguaration of the sheep since I messaged frost wreath I thought it was about hte crucio spell. Could have just told me about the reply button instead of making a snarky comment to draw my attention to its existence as I didn't know and no one has mentioned it before

I tended to use @ if it was used at me

[ebon kestrel]

Ah

[feral locust]

Seems there are only three options for developers to deal with PC port of games: delay only the PC version; release a broken PC version and patch it later; or don't port it at all.

[runic geode]

Guys, what are your thoughts of the 4 trials? I felt the first 2 were really good, the 3rd one is unique for sure, but the 4th one is a bit meh...

[hollow agate]

I liked the fanservice from the 3rd one.

[feral locust]

Same, and the art style of sketch-like

[honest karma]

You know when I finally broke down paid a scalper for the collectors edition because my OCD can't stand the ?? where the kelpie robe should be (seriously why not just hide it so its not a constant irritation). I thought my main regret would be "how much did i censored away just to get a cosmetic item." It is not however my main regret its the fact I now have duplicate codes all that PS5 pre-order stuff (dark arts robes + thestral, black hippogriff + felix felicis potion and the shop, the hat is bundled with the robe) but am not interested in selling them on Ebay which would apparently make half or more of my money back.

[feral locust]

it's cool but remember Xbox and we PC player have to wait for a whole dam year to play the shop mission and having felix felicis...

sorry, just can't bear the fact here.

[honest karma]

Yeah I know, if it makes you feel better from what I can tell Felicis only affects the minimap not the main one so if like me you play with that off the potions useless and even with it on the difference of chests on it and not on it is revelio

[feral locust]

actually it was the mission that got me upset which everyone I counter or know said this mission is good

[honest karma]

It is

[feral locust]

What about the shop keeper's clothes

[honest karma]

Honestly I've not even looked at them, was sort of waiting till I had everything and can look at all the outfit sets, can take a look when I get back home had to duck out to buy something

[feral locust]

So there is no other way to get Common Victorian Garb and Rugged coat?

except for the save editor?

[silent compass]

Some of the outfit pieces in the shop are quite good actually, I've botten them just to have the transmog.

[feral locust]

yeah, Like I usually buy every piece of gear in the shop and sell them all immediately

[silent compass]

Lmfao

Work smarter not harder

[feral locust]

well, for the transmog of course.

[silent compass]

Indeed

[karmic grove]

Does anyone know what the highest stat is each clothing item

[silent compass]

No clue actually, I'm level 36 atm.

There should be a guide on YouTube.

[feral locust]

Well, for outfit, I came up wearing Dapper Mauve Ensemble with Check Crimson Overcoat or Currant Patterned Longcoat, But I prefer wearing uniforms all the time.

[silent compass]

This is my current character.

Wait no

Wrong image

[feral locust]

114, but it's pretty rare, so 113 is fairly common.

[silent compass]

There it is

I wanted to go with more of a John Constantine look, but the trench coat in the game isn't really the same style.

[feral locust]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2938672438
This is one of my favorite( my personal screenshot, don't mind the Chinese)

[silent compass]

Same coat nice.

Yeah it's a good design.

Hopefully if there's DLC they add more customization, because it's really good.

[feral locust]

ahhh, I certainly hope so.

[feral locust]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2942110211
Also this coat, and I wear Dapper Mauve Ensemble in this screenshot.

[silent compass]

Yeah the color is nice

[leaden mural]

Good night, Hogwarts

[feral locust]

Otherwise, I'm still experimenting other design.

[feral locust]

Good afternoon for me....lol

[flint eagle]

Very confused about something, I was just exploring the castle and went into figs office to collect a demi guise statue and I got a "quest updated" notification and now the quest to "meet fig at rookwoods castle" has been crossed off but I definitely haven't done that? I'm literally in hogwarts

Did I just mess up my game?

[feral locust]

The quest won't start unless you talk to him, and he's not even talkable in Hogwarts... I think

[flint eagle]

Its just strange that it would log that I met him at the castle if I'm not there isn't it? Idk what happened. He was in his office

[feral locust]

Guess this part of the quest detect your proximity with Fig himself, not the location ,Nor both.

[flint eagle]

Gotcha, okay. Weird

[feral locust]

Anyway, I don't think your quest is stuck or something.

[flint eagle]

Okay, thank you!

[feral locust]

NP

[coarse sapphire]

Just gotta say. Ending was hearbreaking.

[flint eagle]

I gotta say, the progression if the dricken saga in the daily prophet has been hilarious so far

[hoary stump]

Tobbs deserved to die tbh

Couldn't do his job like his master wanted. Big L on his part

[vital bramble]

Nooooo, poor Tobbs

[ruby beacon]

I NOTICED THAT YESTERDAY THABK YOU FOR BRUNGING THIS UP

[blazing grotto]

We need to unleash the dricken on Tobbs’s master.

[bleak moth]

once i completed 100% game, should i unistall this? or waiting 4 some dlcs....

[green vine]

Personally I'd wait a year for it all to have come out.

[bleak moth]

a year?

[green vine]

Or however long necessary.

Or until the next sale.

[pallid tangle]

there's a PS5 exclusive quest that comes out for everyone else around next February, not sure if PS4 will get that as well once they release that. Unless they decide to release that earlier, about a year seems about right.

[kind comet]

I miss one quest, but I can’t find it on the map, help!

[fierce harness]

what quest theres millions

[kind comet]

I’ve done every quest except one and I can’t find it

[fierce harness]

did you check your quests?

[bleak moth]

probably is the well quest

did you just spoke with the magic well?

[gusty totem]

Well well well?

Southeast of Aranshire

[stiff cove]

Should I turn in Sebastian?

[cold veldt]

https://twitch.tv/temptr LIVE RIGHT NOW❤️

[elfin gulch]

As @red finch will tell you, yes

[red finch]

Don’t turn him in!

Don’t be a filthy traitor

Or make Ominis a sad snek boy

That’s like

A full on crime and I will riot

[dim creek]

Never turn in Sebastian. He did not betray us.

Also, if you have not learned all the spells from him and you turn him in, you will lose the chance to learn them.

If you keep the secret, he will still be at Hogwarts and you can learn from him what you missed.

[stiff cove]

y tho

[ornate parrot]

Reject dogma. Embrace forbidden magic. 🔥

[heady tiger]

not sure where to ask so ill just post it here, im stuck and cant progress because i need to avoid enemy attacks by rolling 6 more times but how do i do that? i dont see lucas anywhere for a fight

[digital sandal]

avada kedevra did nothing to ranrok 😭

i thought it killed any enemy instantly

[hollow agate]

it doesnt kill the main bosses

[digital sandal]

oh ok

i thought it had something to do with Ranrok's anctient magic

that it was somehow more powerful than the killing curse and somehow resist it

[tough pelican]

I’m with you

[tough pelican]

Should a Slytherin of all people really be asking this question? Disgraceful.

[stiff cove]

Mb

[radiant spindle]

When I tried AK on him, I vaguely recall there was a message that said something about curses not working on dragons. It went away super fast and I didn’t get to read the whole thing since I was busy dodging for my life.

[willow rain]

i am glad to hear that

[feral locust]

does anyone know the name of the soundtrack that plays when sebastian ||kills solomon||?

[red finch]

It’s called “You’ve made your choice”

[willow rain]

@red finchgryffindors house specific quest is the best one change my mind

[feral locust]

true!! thank you <33

[red finch]

All the House Quests are markedly better than the Ravenclaw one lol

[sonic coyote]

I did it 🙂 I have the game 100% complete and got the platinum trophy 😄

[flint eagle]

Fml I didn't realize finishing the quest I just did would change from fall to winter omg I didn't get nearly enough spooky season 😭😭😭

[honest karma]

I'd rather they focus on giving us things like changing seasons post game and not negating cheese tactics like luring trolls to their death. Give us QOL first then you can come back to cheese

[flint eagle]

I am doing deeks quest to breed a thestral and one if my thestrals has a star next to its little icon, is that important?

[honest karma]

The star just indicates a "shiny" beast with a different special colour e.g. a star puffskein is a white colour instead of the usual browns and pinks

[flint eagle]

Oo okay so I had a few gray ones, a yellowy one and white one, and the white one is shiny?

[honest karma]

if its the one with the star then yes not caught many thestrals myself

[feral locust]

Trolls is not that hard to beat, like I was having outdated gear and still got them fairly easy.

[flint eagle]

Hmm okay gotcha

[feral locust]

dam, you guys reminded me I missed a shiny Fwooper two days ago..again.

[honest karma]

Why I'd prefer they focus on things like QOL instead of nerfing tactics players are using because they're not intended. Either you don't need them and thus don't use them or you do need them in which case your hurting the single player experienes. On the other hand say letting us change seasons, eat the food in the great hall or having someone in the dorm beds at night enhances it

[feral locust]

found her from a poacher camp

[honest karma]

I don't think you can catch those ones

[ebon kestrel]

I found a shiny puffskien

[feral locust]

yeah, there are a lot of things the devs can add or improve

[ebon kestrel]

Before even getting the satch

[feral locust]

I mean I almost got her, like last 3% of the bar.

But at least I'm having a shiny toad for my Gryffindor

[karmic grove]

for some reason my game keeps freesing at lodgoks quest to get the helmet from the ashwinders. my game freezes when i kill the giant troll

anyone know how to fix this

[honest karma]

No but maybe hide in a bush and see if they can kill it without your help?

[feral locust]

Honestly, I don't know, I never encounter crash with helmet part before

I had two crashes with north coast arena yesterday.

[flint eagle]

Do beasts have preferred habitats for the vivariums?

[honest karma]

Not as far as I can tell the mooncalfs are happy in bright daylight. I do try to put them somewhere appropriate though

[feral locust]

no, but you can put them into one you prefer

[feral locust]

I always put them into swamp

[honest karma]

that's where mine are too

[flint eagle]

Ohh yeah they like night time right?

[honest karma]

yep they're only meant to come out under the moon

[flint eagle]

Right now I have thestrals and toads in the swamp, ill move moon calves there too

I only have 3 vivariums and my unicorns and thestrals kept on fighting when they shared one

[honest karma]

huh i didn't think they did that

[feral locust]

it's more approapiate personally

[flint eagle]

Yeah they would like go up on their hind legs at one another

[feral locust]

Maybe that's just a way of communication that devs progamed them to act like that?

[flint eagle]

I haven't seen them do it to any other species, I didn't see the thestrals or highwing interact like that once they separated 🤷‍♀️

I feel like 12 slots in a vivarium isn't e enough, some of mine are full and I don't even have 4 species

[honest karma]

I feel the same you get one more for a total of four but that's not enough for a breeding pair of each colour for each species

[feral locust]

When I first enter the vivarium, I thought you can hold 12 different species in one room...lol

[flint eagle]

Yeah it doesn't feel like enough at all

Why would they have so many beasts and colors and also breeding if the cap is so small

[honest karma]

underestimating of player interest in small and large fluffy creatures

[ebon kestrel]

Niffler army

[feral locust]

Too bad you can literally build a castle inside the vivarium but you can't hold more than 12 beasts in that area.

[honest karma]

I really want to conjure things like the dung maker in the OUTDOOR vivarium rather than my living room

and enter the conjured house

[feral locust]

And conjurn things inside that house.

[honest karma]

I'd have even settled for a just a preset house interieor myeslf

[feral locust]

Hope they can just copy those interior design in those hamlets and make them a preset.

[honest karma]

There's one south I want intead, it has a toilet, no bath though

only house in the entire game i've found with a toilet

[feral locust]

And most importantly, You have to be able to sit and ly down on the bed

[honest karma]

as i said focus dev time on enhancement not preventing player tactics

[feral locust]

wait, so I heard someone said Avalanche are nerfing some spells, and that was true?

[honest karma]

More unintended interactions e.g. cursing a group then turning one into an exploding barrel and blowing up the barrel to kill them all. Now only the barrel one is killed. Strangely they still let you levioso then depulso the cats over the horizon

[ebon kestrel]

Now there’s another way to do it but no way i’m revealing that

[honest karma]

oh i know it but i never had an interest in using it to begin with

its why i feel its not a good use of dev time as opposed to letting us sleep in beds or the like

[feral locust]

tbh, right now I want our MC to be able to sit on chairs or bench and sleep on the bed more than DLC.

Or just make those NPC animation available to our MC

Through photo mode or similar tools

[honest karma]

i am repeating myself but that's where i want attention to be put not on preventing spell interactions

[feral locust]

perhaps more physical interaction?

not that kind of interaction of course.

[flint eagle]

Is it possible to interact with the centaurs in the forbidden forest?

[feral locust]

No

[flint eagle]

What a missed opportunity

[feral locust]

But you can help them fight

[flint eagle]

I don't think I've seen them fight yet

[feral locust]

There are some fight in the forbidden forest between centaurs and poachers.

[honest karma]

Its one of the annoying things about the game there's a lot of things proper thunderstorms, dugbogs eating deer, centaurs fighting spiders you can go an entire playthrough and never see because they're so rare

[feral locust]

I saw one, just yesterday night( which you guys' morning for today)

Centaurs fighting poachers actually.

[honest karma]

anyway i'm going to grab some lunch

[feral locust]

Lunch, are you living in Australia or New Zealand?

[flint eagle]

Ohh yeah maybe I have seen that. I could attack the poachers but the centaurs still acknowledge you do they?

[feral locust]

not really, sadly.

[honest karma]

You do get aknowledged in one questline they want to murder you and bury you in the forest so no one can find your remains

[feral locust]

ahhh. that one.

[flint eagle]

Noice

[honest karma]

so i finally broke down and looked up where hippogriff marks the spot is meant to take you. The area looks NOTHIGN like the treasure map

[feral locust]

does it?

Jesus

[honest karma]

The map has a little spade shape and a sort of soft U one pointing right at it. Whether your looking at water or land there is NOTHING remotely resembling a spade at the location your meant to go

Yep that location is always shiny mooncalf only for some reason

[feral locust]

I envy you

Do you have exact location?

[honest karma]

ok I thin I see the resemblance if you tilt your head sideways stand on one foot and squint but geeze this is a horrible, horrible map

if its the one I'm thinking of that location for some reason is always shiny mooncalf only

[feral locust]

hmmmm

Considering I always have bad luck, but I will try

some times

[honest karma]

I was about to say I'd visit her more if she could actually be interacted with

[feral locust]

I know we can chat with teachers

And they have some really interesting stories

[honest karma]

Garlicks convinced me I was right she was trying to kill me or drive me out of her class on that first day, probably put hte idea of sending me into the hiddden herbology corridor into duncan's head as well

[feral locust]

The most interesting one happened to be Chiyo Kagawa

I'm curious have you chat with Kagawa

That one really matches my understanding of a Japanese.

[honest karma]

Hecat's was . . . surprsiing

there are some interesting things she has to say

[feral locust]

Well, won't spoil anything, but it was indeed intereting

[honest karma]

I know I'm ranting but the treasure maps are reallyy badly drawn and no the landing platforms are sadly hard to find

[feral locust]

There's one along the coast, one is close to the hamlet(you know the ruins that have treasure tomb and Trolls)

[feral locust]

But you can't deny they nailed the Quiddtich uniform.

I mean the closest you can get is riding a broom while wearing Quidditch Uniform.

[honest karma]

Only because no one else is wearing one, another annoyance is how its impossible to get a proper uniform as some elements always off either the tie or the skirt or the stripes on the robe

here this map of italy shows you where to look for the treasure hidden in australia

can't say as I think she'll explain a bit more later and I'd be spoiling an interesting reveal

[feral locust]

Honestly, I would like a dark green version of Plaid Formal Uniform for Slytherin

Or darker house color version of Plaid Uniform for every house.

Not sure what kind of hairstyle you are using

[honest karma]

I just want a proper match for what everyone else in wearing as their uniform. Ankle length skirt and vest with tie in house colours and 3 stripe robe. Preferable a version with a jumper for winter and maybe no vest for summer

[feral locust]

I know we are not supposed to talk about it, but I'm using the ponytail.

And ikinda prefer the hairstyle that is the same as Anne's hair

Yeah, but you have to use mod to be able to apply to your MC

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2941199350
Like this

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2944029768
And my Gryffindor don't have Plaid formal yet, so I've been wearing this, with the ponytail, of course.

[honest karma]

I don't have that hairstyle in the first picture

[feral locust]

Yeah, because somehow devs decided not include ponytail to MC's hairstyle, so I have to use MOD

[honest karma]

awww you sent me to the barber thinking I'd missed a style.

[feral locust]

That's what I always wanted, a skirt that match the length of those in the movie.

[feral locust]

Bit hotter but still feels elegant mostly.

[feral locust]

🤣

Yeah, and I can say companions looks better without robes.

[honest karma]

Sent yo a pic of my character

[feral locust]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2944882475
see poppy.

[honest karma]

I prefer to think of it as giving visiting dev's ideas

[feral locust]

Yeah, let's just call it off for now.

Magical Theory?

[honest karma]

magical theory, dropped by harrys time

[feral locust]

Perhaps someone in the ministry or Professer Dippet thought this class doesn't need to be a class?

🤣

[honest karma]

I suspect it was added to justify our character being brought up to speed but it doesn't exist in hte original books so "dropped"

Maybe the early experiments didn't end well]

time turners are the developed "safe method" the early experiments which fit with this time period involve people being wiped out of existence as they were never born, a missing day of the week nad one witch being aged 500 years

[feral locust]

Well...

Like Alchemy

Seriously, we have to tell devs of this being the most requested features along with Photo mode.

[honest karma]

as well as season changing post game

This is what scourgify charms are for

[feral locust]

Can scourgify even be used for personal hygiene purposes?

Apparently not.

[honest karma]

I imagine given the household charms we don't see they do have something to keep themselves clean. I mean I've only found one house with a toilet and none with a bath

[feral locust]

And I gotta say, Slytherin and Hufflepuff Common room don't have built-in toilet, Gryffindor have toilet, but cannot bath

only Ravenclaw common room have toilet that can be used to bath.

bathe in the toilet

not on girls' side.

[honest karma]

I hear the Griffindor girls dorm is noticeable different tot he boys

[feral locust]

I swear Ravenclaw common room's toilet is the best one.

We slytherin need to go outside to use toilet and girl's just happened to be the entrance to the Chamber...

🤣

The friendly lake monster is enough for me.

[coarse sapphire]

I haven't played since I saw the ending. 😭

[feral locust]

Wait, does Hufflepuff even have bathrooms in the close proximity to the common room?

[honest karma]

Doing Natty's quest. Walk into the hogsheade in uniform guy next to teh bar "Nosy little students get what's coming to them hur hur hur" I can't tell if he's gloating or threatening but I think I'll change clothes

[coarse sapphire]

I hit him with a couple spells and somehow glitch knocked him through the wall.

[feral locust]

Until another nosy little student stormed in with ancient magic and saved the day...lol

[honest karma]

I use that for swimming, I have armour on order with Augustus though and a dragon hide cloak

[coarse sapphire]

A while back, yes.

[feral locust]

Do you guys wear those three pajamas?

PC player right here.😭

[coarse sapphire]

You'll get the quest sometime within the year.

[feral locust]

I though it would be Feb 11th 2024

oh dear

[coarse sapphire]

It was WAY over hyped in my opinion.
First off, the shop only sells your stuff for like, what, 6 more coins than normal? Oooooh, so cool. Not.
Then everyone talks about how utterly terrifying it is and maybe it's because I'm a horror game enthusiast but it was lackluster at best.
Interesting story and visuals, and it's not a bad quest, but all in all overhyped.

[feral locust]

And I have to say, Common Victorian era Garb can pair wery well with those crimison and red long coat.

[honest karma]

Came back and he turned around hten walked into the wall

[coarse sapphire]

That may be it, then. Haha. It was funny timing.

[feral locust]

Wish we could have more clothes styles.

[coarse sapphire]

I just wish girls could switch some of the clothing to pants rather than skirts. Long skirts are so ugly.

[honest karma]

odd i want to switch teh many pants to long skirts as it suits the time period

[feral locust]

not if you can shorten it to ankle lengthe like in the movie.

[coarse sapphire]

Not with all the outfits. Some of them look better on the guys because they don't have those ugly skirts.

[feral locust]

You are not the only one.

[coarse sapphire]

I just think the skirt look is hideous.

Agreed.

It's always been tacky, even then. 😅🤣

[feral locust]

Skirt fit the time period, and before you ask, Stocking won't be invented until 1930s

[coarse sapphire]

Just because they fit the time period doesn't mean you have to like them.

[feral locust]

True

[coarse sapphire]

Not all women even liked them back then.

[feral locust]

Me too.

[honest karma]

true but there's a difference between not liking clothing and dressing like a lady of negotiable affection

[feral locust]

Well, we don't have to make everyone like skirts in the Victorian era, but at least I like it, the elegance.

[coarse sapphire]

The mermaid clothes, for example. When I saw my fiance's character wearing them I was so excited to get them because they looked so good, then bam, ugly on females.

[honest karma]

my attempt to avoid using terms that are not really appropriate for an all ages channel

[coarse sapphire]

😅

[feral locust]

Some people can still look ugly while wearing the most beautiful outfit

[coarse sapphire]

Did anyone else have a problem with the new update NOT showing your character's actual face like it's supposed to? Mine's still ugly when not close up or in cut scenes.

Still has the maga derp face issue.

[feral locust]

I say this is kinda depend on a person.

sadly, it's true.

[coarse sapphire]

I was so excited for that update until I saw it didn't work.

I'm on PS5. I've never seen that glitch.

I didn't say there wasn't. Just saying I didn't relate. Jeez.

[feral locust]

About your issue?

I don't have this issue on PC.

And in fact, the biggest problem for PC is sometime you can't even run the game ..🤣

[coarse sapphire]

That's a.. filthy glitch. 🙃

[feral locust]

Ray Tracing seems to be a feature that only drop your framerate unless you have the latest GPU

I have to scall down my setting to medium, and my laptop is 3060 with 6GB VRAM

also, with AMD Ryzen 7 6800HT CPU

Sounds like a lot of bad experience for you.

But Considering recent games are all having serious issues with PC, I'm not surprised.

[coarse sapphire]

100%

I don't really use Amazon, but I appreciate the warning.

Honestly, I'm just over here waiting for Resident Evil 4 to come out.

[feral locust]

But the issuse is this type of issues only happened on PC

[coarse sapphire]

I think it's just a thing with newer games in general. Gaming PCs, particularly laptops, are starting to have more issues than consoles. Which is a weird change.

[feral locust]

I think because the PC specs are so vary and Consoles are pretty much the same.

[coarse sapphire]

Yeah that's always been the case with PC. There are too many different types with capabilities of a huge range of things and some aren't meant for much while others are able to handle and process a lot.

[feral locust]

And devs don't have enough time to adjust PC's varity.

[coarse sapphire]

And yeah, that usually comes from rude people who just want to flaunt their stuff and not be of any actual help. PC people in a general sense can be very quick to think they're superior in any way just because they use PC.

[feral locust]

They have to make a choices, delay only the PC version or release a relatively broken PC version with console version and patch it later.

[coarse sapphire]

Yeah.

[feral locust]

And most developers choose the latter

[honest karma]

The game is employing unfair tactics in this fight "NPC X was blackmailed into aid, found and fired now works to protect and support hteir family." I don't want ot kill them Could win the fight easily but I don't want to

[coarse sapphire]

Personally, I play on every single platform and there's not really any that are superior to the other because all of them have advantages and disadvantages to them. People just want to be rude. That's how it usually is.

People all want something to fight about. I've never understood it from a logical standpoint.

[feral locust]

Not to mention so called console war

[coarse sapphire]

Blech. "PlayStation is better!" "No, Xbox is better!" Like, no. They're both top tier. You just wanna argue and defend what you use to the death instead of just respecting opposing opinions and realizing they both have things over the other.

[feral locust]

Word of advice, never try to get along with someone who play a lot of Genshim Impact

[coarse sapphire]

Really? I played a bit of it, but got tired of the pay to play aspect. I shouldn't HAVE to spend hundreds of dollars to get that ONE cool character I'm after just to have to get 20 more to upgrade her (Looking at you, Fiona!)

[feral locust]

That brings out the Hogsmede Hunted shop quest again.

[coarse sapphire]

Diona- Ugh. Auto correct.

Oh. I never spoke to anyone else who played, to be honest. 😅🤣

[feral locust]

Those guys are really a bunch of high-level fanatic

[coarse sapphire]

😬😬

[feral locust]

And it is

[coarse sapphire]

What is there to be so uppity about with that game, anyway? It's nothing to be serious about whatsoever.

[feral locust]

In China ( where I live and Genshim are from), Genshim fanatics always run around the internet, dislike and tanut basically every single game, but not the games from From Software

[coarse sapphire]

I mean, people get mad at me when I say that Leon from Resident Evil will absolutely annihilate Joel from The Last Of Us in a fight. But I'm sorry, if you know everything there is to know about both characters, the worlds they're from, their tactics, etc, you know.
If you know, you know, ya know? 🤣

[feral locust]

In China, some Elden Ring fans are just as bad as those Genshim Fanatics

[coarse sapphire]

But why? Genshin isn't that great or widely loved game.
And Elden Ring? It bored the hell out of me. It may just not be my style, but I'm into story a lot and it just didn't hit for me.

[feral locust]

I still remember when HL's first gameplay video dropped(You know the 16 minutes long one), people already said this game is dead

[coarse sapphire]

The fighting was eh too. It just didn't flow, if that makes sense.

[coarse sapphire]

I remember that! And I remember thinking how wrong they'd be, and here we are.

[feral locust]

And they use a phrase called: "garbage Canned game"

[feral locust]

Yes indeed.

[clever jungle]

.

[coarse sapphire]

It just wasn't for me. The entertainment just wasn't there.

[feral locust]

I don't like souls-like games

[coarse sapphire]

I like Dark Souls. Haha. Elden Ring just didn't scratch that itch the same.

[feral locust]

Speaking of which, Why do I have the feeling that Armored Core 6 will just be a Dark Souls with Mech?

[coarse sapphire]

I haven't looked into that one yet.

[feral locust]

Haha, imagine if Hogwarts legacy is a M rated game.

[coarse sapphire]

I can't say the same. I'm over here anxiously waiting for Paleo Pines to hit this year. 😅🤣

[coarse sapphire]

I'd be down for it. Not gonna lie. Think of all the blood spatter.

Really? Haha.
How do you fare with actual horror games?

[feral locust]

Perhaps M rated is what this game could show the potential

Inferi is scary sometime, like they can take out half of your health bar in a single attack.

[coarse sapphire]

Can you handle horror? If so, I can recommend great ones.
I love playing. And I love people watching me play. But the people I know are always so busy so I don't get to play for others that often.

[feral locust]

And Spider is fairly easy to control, but with too many numbers could be a serious problem.

[coarse sapphire]

I need hordes.

[feral locust]

Acromantula Hordes

[coarse sapphire]

It's usually easier. Because even in the really intense moments the person's jokes or laughter can ease the anxiety. Haha. That's why I like playing for friends. They want to enjoy the games, but can't bring themselves to play them.

[coarse sapphire]

Take my money. 🤣

[feral locust]

absgunder took me a while to beat, and I can still die up to this point.

[coarse sapphire]

It's always more fun to watch or be watched with games. It's kind of a love language of mine, strangely enough.

[coarse sapphire]

Really? My fiance has a hard time with him too.

[feral locust]

Yeah, like twice during last night.

for my third playthrough as Gryffindor

[coarse sapphire]

I have it, and have never actually used it. 😅

I'm on my Slytherin playthrough. She's mean as hell to everyone except magical creatures, Ominis, and Deek.

[honest karma]

for me most hated enemy is the dugbogs. Hard outer shell, constant charges and licking, come in packs and the eleveation means even when they are doing the tongue thing I'll often either hit the ground or their back and have leviosa richochet off

[coarse sapphire]

I love Ominis more than any character in the entire game.

[feral locust]

Plus my companions and other Slytherins for me

[coarse sapphire]

Way more than Sebastian. 1,000%

[coarse sapphire]

I'm mean to them too. Haha. Especially Imelda.

[feral locust]

Strangly, I like Poppy more than Sebastion, but Sebastion is one of my favorite as well.

[coarse sapphire]

He's just -chef's kiss-

I won't turn him in, though. There's no point.

It seems like the right choice morally, but you're actually just sending him down a darker path and making him hate everyone and everything more.

Logically, it should be the right decision, but realistically and in game, it's actually the bad decision.

[feral locust]

I always bear the pain of crucio for that scene

And I don't know what you guys think, Poppy is too Gryffindor or Slytherin to be a Hufflepuff.

[coarse sapphire]

It seems so, but really, he's just incredibly desperate and blind to his actions. He feels like he's doing the right thing, and honestly, I can't blame him. I'd burn the world to save someone I love.
And she's his twin on top of that. A bond even science has not fully come to understanding.

[feral locust]

You might not like it, but this is kinda the Slytherin way, especially if you are a Gryffindor, but he meant you no harm.

[honest karma]

Iwas sort of neutral on his attitude till he exploded at me about Goblins, called me ignorant and basically condemed an entire race for individiduals actions so I threw a few spells at him (actually blew him up as he was standing next to some explosive barrels though he survived) and currently am going to be a lot less friendly

[feral locust]

I turned him in during my first playthrough as Slytherin and I regretted now so I deleted my character to start fresh.

[coarse sapphire]

Also, it's not about her being as she used to be. He doesn't want her to be in torturous pain any longer. Pain that is going to lead to death.
His uncle mentally abusing him along the way and destroying everything he wanted to attempt didn't help either.
Monsters aren't born. They're made. And he was becoming one. When he realized all he'd really done he fully regretted every choice along the way and strives to do better.
If you turn him in, that hate and monsterous outlook only grows.

It never becomes less about Anne. It's ALL about Anne. That's the thing. It's why he never gives up and goes way too far.

[honest karma]

I admit I have visions of Imperio for Anne's own good as she's cutting him off just like his uncle

[coarse sapphire]

Not as hard as you might think.
She may not want that, but that's the point. All he wants is to save her. Everyone else gave up on her, most immediately. He swore he would cure her and he would never give up.

[feral locust]

Anne sort of accepted her fate( sad), but there's a mis-communication in here between brother and sister.

You know what, Let's just blame Victor Rookwood for that.

[honest karma]

same

[coarse sapphire]

Personally, I don't like Sebastian too much. He's more of an jerk than people make him seem. Especially with the whole Lodgok interaction and such.
But I will justify his actions because they are justifiable. And her turning him away was her choice that eventually she will change. And her uncle wouldn't let him around much because he had to hover over her all the time and Sebastian gave her "too much hope" for her situation. He wasn't keen on her being made happy, for whatever selfish reason. She didn't have anyone anyway. At least there was someone in the world who NEVER gave up on her. We ALL deserve someone like that.

[feral locust]

The Death of Victor Rookwood might help a little.

[honest karma]

or ancient magic or rookwoods ancestor lots of options not tried

[coarse sapphire]

Also, side note if you turn him in, he NEVER finds out it was Rookwood and hates Goblins and Wizards forever.

Maybe. But that's bound to happen regardless.

[feral locust]

And don't forget we never ask the keepers about if that magic can save Anne like we promised him during this scene.

[coarse sapphire]

The only person that can reverse the curse is the one who cast it. It gets explained at some point.

[feral locust]

Your dad just got killed by your brother in-law.

[honest karma]

thats the thing we don't know and we never get a chance to ask, same as not asking rookwoods ancestor if he know's a counter curse

[feral locust]

Yeah, but both our MC and Seb didn't know that well.

And render the extractee being emotionless.

[coarse sapphire]

Yes, but taking away the only family she has left, regardless of whether or not she wants to see him right then, is way more cruel. The scene after you turn Sebastian in is the most heartbreaking in the entire game. No one comes out in a good way with that ending. No one is happy or okay with it.
However, if you don't turn him in, he strives to change and do better, Anne doesn't hate herself for turning him in, you don't feel guilt over making that decision, Ominis doesn't feel empty and alone, and things are on a track to turn better.

[honest karma]

until he snaps slaughters you adn Ominous and kidnaps anne. That's the problem wtih this if you have meta knowledge you think one choice is better, if you don't hte other

[coarse sapphire]

Again, only the person who cast it can reverse it. And they have to be willing and wanting to do so.

[honest karma]

@coarse sapphire there are always exceptions

[coarse sapphire]

Unrealistic. And completely against what the end is going for.

[honest karma]

My point is if you don't know about the ending Sebastian's been getting more deranged, more bigoted and just murdered a family member using dark magic. That's not a situation where you go "Yeah bro I'll help you hide hte body."

[coarse sapphire]

You could say that for every person in the entire world who has committed murder for any reason in existence. Including someone who did it in self defense.

[coarse sapphire]

I do know about the ending. I've seen both ends.

[honest karma]

yes and your basing your decision ON that knowledge

[feral locust]

I have couple screenshot about the end conversation between you and Seb if you don't rurn him in

[coarse sapphire]

Your point? It's a game, I can base that off the knowledge it gives me.

We're not talking about a "what if" here. We're talking about what actually happens.

[honest karma]

My point is what you feel is the best decision differs on whether you base it on the situation right after the murder or after you make a choice. That is with hindsight and knowing both outcomes one is obviously better but your character would not have that knowledge when making the choice and on that perspective the other is the right thing to do. If you want to choose based on knowing the ending that's fine its a game, however I am pointing out your character is in a what if situation. Whta if I spare him and he kills again, what if he becomes more deranged at goblins, what if he kidnaps anne to save her. You don't know and for me that choice was the opposite I reported him ebcause the risk of not doing so was too high without that foreknowledge

[feral locust]

Well, As a Slytherin and a person who have my own judgment, I won't turn him in, especially after What I've seen during the conversation between my MC and him.

Hope you guys understand.@oak vector@honest karma

[honest karma]

Oh I understand, heck my slytherin is also going to send him to Azkaban because he know's too much and is a threat to them while the hufflepuff may spare him out of loyalty ot a friend. Different people, different choices. All I'm saying is if you know about both endings and are choosing solely because of those endings then that's probably a different choice than what you'd make in real life at the moment you have to make it. Nothing wrong with doing that

[feral locust]

I would say if you consider him as your close friend as a Slytherin, you won't turn him in.

[honest karma]

My slytherin doesn't though they've had limited interactions throughout the year and he know's they have ancient magic, know the unoforgiveables, used the unforgiveables. Too risky to let him stay free

[coarse sapphire]

Even on the basis of not knowing where it will lead, you can still be led to that decision ultimately from a logical standpoint and I'll tell you how.
Yes, the fact that Sebastian murdered his uncle is morally wrong. There's no denying that. However, to put it logically, even if you were to send this CHILD to ask a ban, which is where he would end up for using an unforgivable killing curse, it would do way more harm than it ever would good.
First, you're taking the CHOICE away from Anne to at least have one member of her family left to go to, take care of her, or just be there for her. She has literally no one left at this point, and if you turn him in, she never will.
Two, sending a CHILD to ask man, which yes, is exactly what would happen, would never be the right choice. We are basing this off of it being the normal world where yes murder would put you in prison, but not only is this not normal prison, but we obviously have different standards on what is okay and not okay in a fantasy world.
He used it unforgivable curse to kill his uncle, so what? We have killed countless wizards, goblins, trolls, and everything else that we've encountered throughout the entire game and have done it in way more horrible ways than an instant death. Do you see us being punished in going to ask a ban for killing all of those people? No. Because murder in The Wizarding World is not the same as it is here. And you could use the excuse that they were bad wizards, but even in reality that argument would not work. Because just because you see a bunch of drug dealers on the side of the street, does not mean you have the right to pull out a gun and shoot all of them, just like in the magical world it should not be acceptable for you to open fire on a camp full of wizards and let loose.
And let's not forget what Azkaban is. Azkaban is not your normal prison. Ask Ben is a prison where dementors frequently fly around sucking all the happiness, hope, and any positive feeling you have ever had in your life out of you. So not only are you subjecting this child to unspeakable torture for the rest of his life, but he has no opportunity of even hoping to become a better person out of being turned in because he is being tortured day by day, never ending, for the rest of his life.

[feral locust]

Understandable.

[honest karma]

Then he shouldn't have used imperious to make a goblin commit suicide adn avada kadavra to kill his uncle. I don't like him, I don't trust him and I have no reason to think he isn't going to become worse

[feral locust]

Or perhaps you don't like using Unforgivables.

[coarse sapphire]

Ultimately? The decision is bad even without future sight.
And maybe if this were an adult, we would think of it a little bit differently, but even so, it still doesn't hold up logically.
And yes, the fact that he killed his uncle is darker than just killing a random person or a dark Wizard or what have you, but he still did it for one in self-defense because his uncle attacked you and him, but he also took away the last remaining hope that Sebastian had of saving his sister right in front of him for I think the third time in the game? He snapped, he had enough, he felt lost, out of control, and devastated, and while that may not be completely acceptable, it's still understandable.
You don't know how you would feel in that situation, or what you would do, unless you experienced it yourself. I however, try to put myself in other people's shoes and try to understand why they feel the way they do and do the things they do.
And I'm sorry, but using imperious on that goblin and using avada kedavra on his uncle, is nowhere than anything that we've done to any of our enemies in the game.

Which just says that you didn't really read anything I said, just skimmed to put forth your input and double down on your ideology.

Not very Ravenclaw of you, I must say. Even lacking the proper empathy.
