[spare cosmos]

Dude didn't even hit her for that long, she overreacted 😌

[feral locust]

Clearly you don't know how bad a Crucio can be.

[spare cosmos]

I understand it's awful, but my character only screamed a little bit, he didn't start shaking with a blank stare on his face xD

[twilit hull]

It's just torture, how bad could it possibly be lol

[hearty arch]

you have ancient magic abilities, Natty does not, that is my headcanon 😄

thats why she took it a lot worse

[hearty arch]

I seriously hope you are joking

[twilit hull]

🙃

[spare cosmos]

😂

[spare cosmos]

'Tis but a scratch, lmao

Maybe Sebastian didn't mean the Crucio as much as Harlow

So perhaps it was worse for Natty, or antelopes have a lower pain tolerance than humans or something, idk xD

(I still think she was weak)

[feral locust]

Please, not everyone have super magic empowered by ancient magic.

good morning for you( night for me)

[hearty arch]

Hey, Val

[feral locust]

nobody want to.

Other places couldn't get any cozier than your own bed.

[hearty arch]

Hogsmeade is a close second 😄

[twilit hull]

Honestly, was hoping that "taking crucio for Sebby" would have lasting effects. I called it as soon as it was announced that it would not

[hearty arch]

yeah, doesnt matter if you play as a good person or bad, there is no difference aside from some random remarks the students make when you pass them in the hallways

not that I want to play as a douche, but why even have the option if it makes no difference?

[feral locust]

Sorry, You know I had to do this if you guys started talking about this.

[pure flame]

That was my thinking. He only did it so we didn't die in there, but didn't like doing it
Or, a lot of it was absorbed by the lock

[hearty arch]

Isabel didnt deserve this 😄

but yeah, same fate for Iris in the near future

[feral locust]

[pure flame]

Same fate for my Imogen

[feral locust]

Looking forward to your shots

[feral locust]

And Constantine as well.

[hearty arch]

you now where to send those shots 😄

[feral locust]

You got it

[feral locust]

I will make a seperate at this point as always.

[pure flame]

These are the main shots I've caught so far.
I need to get the one where Poppy looks stoned af with the snidgets it's a shame but it makes me laugh every time I scroll by it

[hearty arch]

@feral locust you have that shot of Poppy 😄

[feral locust]

Is this is the one you need@pure flame

[blazing grotto]

Poor Flying Professor. Loses her dreams because of her honor and her friend’s dishonor.

[pure flame]

It looks very similar to that yes

But her eyes are more half shut than that

[pure flame]

I'll be on the game later tonight to grab it

[twilit hull]

Honestly, my thoughts were "they can't possibly kill or cripple the main character long term in an open world game. They can, however, change the story to impact Seby".
So the choice was obvious. I doubt using it on him would do anything (correct me if I'm wrong, I didn't go that route)

[hearty arch]

nope, even using it on him doesnt change a damn thing

[twilit hull]

Tho, I do wish that it would have opened his eyes to how dangerous dark arts can be

[blazing grotto]

Lol. He sees us shrug it off easily and goes ‘I guess dark arts aren’t that bad’.

[twilit hull]

Lol

[main inlet]

Does anyone know what the maximum amount that can be taken of those three is

Defence Hp offence

??

[hot thicket]

a

[pure flame]

I think he was just blinded by ambition to get back his sister, I truly believe though he is on a redemption path as he was really shook up then even more so when we drop the Rookwood bomb on him

If a second game is released I hope it has him trying to make amends with Ominis and Anne showing he's changed

[twilit hull]

I um, don't trust.

I would have loved to see him show more remorse earlier on

To see what he is doing, to show genuine interest in our opinions.

He is stubborn and the first sign of hatred, I can see him resorting to dark arts again

And honestly, I hope it's not a "oh if you apologize, it's fine"

I hope it's "he tries all he can, but the damage was done. No matter how much he tries"

If anything

It sounds be based on our help

If we don't help, no redemption

The actions we've made have an impact on him

[round nexus]

OMG!

[pure flame]

Found it

[blazing grotto]

Looks like a bad allergic reaction

[final sorrel]

look at that girl

look at her smile

with this egg she will rule us all

[ornate magnet]

Yeah the bad thing about life sometimes is that you can't fix everything

I only hope that killing rookwood healed Anne

But then I look at the brooms sweeping rooms not occupied for hundreds of years and my hope dwindles

[sweet barn]

how do I get past these doors?

ok

thanks

[coarse sapphire]

I'm sorry, but some people being afraid of spiders shouldn't ruin it for others..
#patch-notes message

However, if it's an option and not forced, I'm all for it.

[tawdry kettle]

My dear, your very worries would have been answered if you had taken a look at the mighty long patch notes.

[coarse sapphire]

I don't read mighty long patch notes due to the 'mighty long' part.

[tawdry kettle]

It is mighty long I agree

[coarse sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/gwsn-seoryoung-kpop-subslimer-happy-gif-26112979

[tawdry kettle]

A little tip Ctrl + F and it bring up a search bar, search to your heart content!

[dull canyon]

I mean most people don't read such things and thats why terms and agreements are made super long

[civic marsh]

I’m curious how arachnophobia mode looks like. Would anyone have a screenshot?

[tawdry kettle]

I actually read one ones, it was mighty long too and boring.

[dull canyon]

hence most don't do it

and they use legal jargon and langauge most won''t understand

[tawdry kettle]

Yup

[dull canyon]

i know that all has nothing with patch notes but i can't help but think of the terms and agreements stuff when people bring up super long written forms and stuff like that

[coarse sapphire]

I'm not sure. It just came out so probably not? But someone might.

[dull canyon]

probably just removes spiders alogether

that will remove a boss fight and an infamous foe though

[tawdry kettle]

Maybe they replaced them with demiguise

[civic marsh]

Legal stuff isn’t too tricky to read once you got the hang of them. I’d always recommend reading through them to know what you’re agreeing to. Like there’s no reason not to know unless English isn’t your first language/you have reading difficulties

First part is usually definitions of who is who and how much it involved

Then just head to the user agreement cause there’s what usually concerns you

I’ve rejected some stuff over the years cause the agreement included that some sort of external tracker would be installed to “monitoring and provide feedback on activity”

But some folks are okay with that. I’m not though so I just have to learn how to read it to keep my boundaries and preferences.

Read an incident before where employees signed getting $50 as compensation for something. Only one bothered to read the legal stuff, and found out they were asked to sign that they acknowledged being underpaid and accepted 50 as compensation rather than back paid several thousands. And the others who didn’t read couldn’t do a thing about it. Manager who told them to sign technically didn’t lie, but didn’t tell the full story either. Like it’s not ethical for sure, but that never stopped some folks. They just bank on that people get turned away from legalese and trust what they say

[dull canyon]

Amazon once literally put something in terms and agreements saying people sign away their soul when agreeing with terms and gave an email to those people after saying they will refund their souls later.

[tight trench]

is there any chance of getting serpensortia in a future patch?

[final sorrel]

id personally love aguamenti

[tight trench]

personally would prefer an official version, also 1) i though talking about mods wasnt aloud on the server, 2) the only mods i can find are cosmetic instead of actual new content

[dull canyon]

well those things have a firestorm thing

[pearl root]

I don’t get why we can’t talk about mods

[tight trench]

i asked a question about mods the other day and got a warning from the server

[final sorrel]

Oh oops, sorry i didnt know

[hoary epoch]

I am confused lol why is there a patch for online usernames if there is no online

[tight trench]

i wondered about that too

[feral locust]

a gift from devs to those who hate spiders...

[blazing grotto]

The kite people strike again

[feral locust]

@brittle oysterDid you update your game?

my steam is acting strange, have to reinstall....

disk reading problem.

disk usage problem

strange, mine looks perfectly fine

[final sorrel]

HES DEAD

[sudden bronze]

how? 😮

[subtle dust]

This game needs to be online

[tight trench]

i mostly want serpensortia and more "evil" gameplay options

[feral locust]

Not again.

[feral locust]

@brittle oysterHow's the sleep?

[sweet barn]

how do I open the vault?

ok

[sweet barn]

yes

[haughty vale]

hello, a little jump scare from me, have a nice day!

[final sorrel]

thats so cuteee

[final sorrel]

thats not

[onyx plaza]

TERRIFYING

that's me on snapchat

[tardy granite]

Had to show him the vivarium

also what are the assignments? XD

[blazing grotto]

So you’ve trapped him in the vivarium. It is a kinder solution than Azkaban.

[tardy granite]

🤣

[sweet barn]

cant find the last 3 chests in Hogsmeade Valley

[haughty vale]

u literally clicked on one of it lmao

[sweet barn]

Where?

[haughty vale]

that one I think

or am I wrong

[sweet barn]

I just checkd and it didnt have the chests i was looking for

ok, well I just found 1, missed a camp lol

ok

Overlook mine

found the location of the last two, thanks

[glacial plover]

Where did you get that mask?

[blazing grotto]

Now honor Merlin by standing in one of his gazebos.

[open locust]

honour merlin by killing every spider in the game

[harsh jacinth]

Won't tell

Lol

[blazing grotto]

You live in a chaotic world, T

[harsh jacinth]

Inside hogwarts most things aren't loaded

Kinda sad

Hogsmeade's barrier has a floor too

[iron rover]

Can anyone help me get past the statues in gringotts

[warped minnow]

Has anyone seen or witnessed the werewolf in the forbidden forest?

I saw the stained glass with the clock indicated in the light rays, someone said it has to do with a werewolf, I DID find a moon painted on a few trees in the forest, but unsure if that's where it occurs

[dull canyon]

And the Fat Friar was a monk

And he was a wizard

And Harry himself was baptised soon after birth

So that indicates some wizards were religious

[iron rover]

Have you ever read Harry Potter they celebrate every Christian holiday

[dull canyon]

Having magic won't change a persons' belief in their religion by default, in fact it may strengthen it due to having actual proof of the supernatural (which most religion is founded upon belief in.)

[dull canyon]

If you mean me then yes

[hoary forge]

Christian holidays used to be Pagan holidays till they were stolen

[final sorrel]

Oh no not this debate again

Me: comes in here to meme about poppy sweeting
The chat:

[dull canyon]

There is no debate - there's proven religious belief among wizards in the canon per info on some characters and JKR's own words on it

[final sorrel]

I think Harry’s parents were Christian too

(Speaking of religion, that moment when you’re walking around the castle and some kids are like “yeah muggle carols are cool but man they think every magical thing they see is an ‘angel’” and I’m like “oops”

[dull canyon]

He was baptised so yes

that would indicate they were

Harry was implied to not believe in the afterlife through his dialogue bout Sirius after the latter died. Though subconsciously he did believe since he heard the voices in the Viel

[peak temple]

When do you unlock mounts?

[honest karma]

You get them in Autumn but how fast you unlock them depends on how much you focus on the main quests vs just exploring and doing side quests

[peak temple]

Autumn the season?

[warped minnow]

So unless I am mistaken, there appears to be a small glade with monkshood around it in the middle of the forbidden forest, but the flowers here are not found anywhere else. I don't recall seeing this spot and I've 100%'d the game.

Does this look familiar to anyone?

Not sure but I don't recall seeing these flowers elsewhere

[iron rover]

Just got the game but where do I go to find side quests or do they just show up like main quests

[warped minnow]

gray shields

you'll see them pop up when appropriate, some come later or after you complete

Also, as you complete quests, the notes you find in some houses change or new ones spawn

[honest karma]

Yes as you progress through the main storyline the year also progresses

[iron rover]

Is their a speed run for hogwarts legacy

[honest karma]

Some side quests will be given to you by owl mail most are as said gray shields scattered around the world you find and talk to the quest giver

[warped minnow]

100% tends to be around 60 hours

[iron rover]

I got the Deluxe edition and got the hypogriph how do I access it

[peak temple]

That's awesome! Thank you ☺️

[honest karma]

unlcoked automatically when you unlock mounts

[warped minnow]

When you unlock mounts, you're character inventory page will show a broom and animal mouint

[iron rover]

How long does unlocking mounts happen

[warped minnow]

you go there to customize which mount or broom you want

[iron rover]

I meant take

[honest karma]

Possibly, I know why streamer did a marathon to complete the game that took over 14 hours but they were doing some side quests

[honest karma]

up to you how much you focus on main quests. The mission for it is in the autumn season

[warped minnow]

Yeah you can speed run but you miss a ton, and I think some side quests disappear if you do not complete them before certain parts of the main line

[iron rover]

it will show up in mail right

[warped minnow]

like the flying keys

unsure if intended or just a bug, could have been patched in last couple of days too

[honest karma]

When you unlock mounts you get any bonus ones you've put in the key for

[iron rover]

every side quest shows up in the mail tho?

[warped minnow]

I completed it and currently doing things like working on 100% hard mode or my current obsession, trying to figure out if the stained glass windows mean anything

[honest karma]

No, some require you to find hte quest giver and talk to them, they're shown by a gray shield on hte world map or the hogwarts map or hogsmeade map as appropraite

[warped minnow]

also things like Follow the butterflies (which lead to chests with collectable conjurations) you won't see unless you do the quest

[feral locust]

Graphics somehow looks better compared to before patch

[warped minnow]

The mazes you find via minimap or seeing them

If you use revelio when flying, you'll see waypoints and places of interest you won't see when doing revelio while walking

So sometimes it's great to fly around casting revelio and just look for crates

you don't have to get off the broom to loot containers

[honest karma]

Same with things like bandit camps they only show on the map if you find them

[iron rover]

graphics look really good on xbox one

[warped minnow]

Yeah and when you complete a bandit camp, the map icons show completed but in flight do not

the camp won't check off until you've looted the chest that has the conjurable

[feral locust]

now and before

[rocky umbra]

do i let this load or do i leave or smth it's been 30 mins

[warped minnow]

loading shaders? give it a little bit

my computer before the motherboard imploded took a minute to load

[rocky umbra]

its like at the start of the game after the ranrock in the vault

[warped minnow]

new one is like buttah

Oooh I see, one of the few load bars I saw in the game

[rocky umbra]

do i let it load

or leave or smth

[warped minnow]

If it fails to load, you should have an autosave just prior to this

[rocky umbra]

idk i went to main menu

and there's that so i guess it's gotta load can't go anywhere further than the intro

[warped minnow]

oooooh I see

must be using the stream play thing for consoles

[rocky umbra]

idk what that is but sure

[warped minnow]

basically textures and parts of the game you're not using are not installed

allows you to get through limited areas like starting tutorials while rest of game isn't get installed

[rocky umbra]

alright thank you

[warped minnow]

A lot of games have been doing that in recent years

[rocky umbra]

thing that sucks is i gotta go soon so if i put it into rest will the game stay on and download it (ps4 btw)

[warped minnow]

hmm if you don't have power save feature on the PS4 it should continue

There is likely a default idle sleeptime when not watching videos

[rocky umbra]

ok

[warped minnow]

Presently afking in bunch of aconite for the last several hours hoping something happens here LOL

[sweet barn]

can you still play after attending the feast?

[honest karma]

I think so

[sweet barn]

ok

[warped minnow]

Yes

there is no credits scene lockout

once you complete the game, Professor Weasley suggests you spend the time finished up your field guide before exams

[honest karma]

even if its 100% sadly

[warped minnow]

Yes, because they will be adding content to a degree and there are additional unlocks

For instance, you can 100% but still have missing conjurations because you didn't find every chest during exploration

[honest karma]

some aknowledgement would be nice though

[warped minnow]

I've got 100% on all collections, and I am missing a total of 7 items (all castle pieces for Room of Requirement)

the ones that provide a % completion are just the tasks that reward you via those menus for completion

like kill 100 trolls, complete, turn in for reward.

The conjurations are found through out the map but are not tracked by a percentage counter, just a fraction listed on the page for them

[honest karma]

I know just would like her to tell me good job for completing my field guide

[warped minnow]

Conjurations are the only thing I haven't completed, and it means having to go to EVERY chest and there are 140 of them

LOL she doesn't say that even if it is completed

[honest karma]

my point

[warped minnow]

It's never good enough for her

But the hogsmeade shop quest is locked for a year behind playstation

That makes me a saaaaaad panda

[honest karma]

I want to know why other people can end it during the day but for me it always turns to night for the final fight

[warped minnow]

I did have some weirdness were no matter what I was stuck on night

I already completed the game so not story driven

but waiting via map to do night/day did nothing

Also noticed earlier today that the clock hands on clock tower are not synced with day night cycle, that or the hands were upside down

could just be the game bugging out, but I was trying to figure out in game time and the hour hand passed the 12 2-3 times before sun game up

[honest karma]

its analog how can it not line up?

ah ues i also noticed having to wait twice per night but once for day

[warped minnow]

I rabbit holed on this. I started flying around and looking at ALL the stained glass I could find, looking for some symbolism I missed. The dots on the rays are a clock. Moon at the forefront, so midnight.

While out in the forbidden forest I found this

then the forest glen nearby with the only aconite/wolfsbane/monkshood in the area, surrounded by stones and I don't think any quest lines.

[sly carbon]

howd u figure out its a clock haha that looks confusing

[warped minnow]

the dots

12 on top center, 1 on 1 position

[sly carbon]

ah so the moon is covering some dots

as time passes

[warped minnow]

This is in the stained glass for the West Tower or the clock tower itself (opposite the actual clock is a big version)

I've started trying to line up the windows to rooms.. which ones are lit vs dark corridor etc

[honest karma]

There's also the seasonal windows by the great hall

[warped minnow]

yup!

[honest karma]

and the towers in the wall that are fully sealed up

[warped minnow]

The problem I am having is no one seemingly has posted online about encountering aconite in the game

or maybe realized that is what it is

[honest karma]

might be cut content, anyway i'm going to try and grab a few hours naps before night shift

[warped minnow]

This is the location that I've found

roger, cheers senko

[civic marsh]

Oh gosh I wasn’t expecting the how to train your dragon theme to show up

[feral locust]

Gotta say, Graphics has improved yet again.

[graceful solstice]

pc?

[feral locust]

Yes

[graceful solstice]

I need to check

[feral locust]

Lighting certainly better than before

[lime bone]

I can not figure out what to do with this thing for a merlin trial

[feral locust]

There should be a hole nerby, guide the ball into that pinch

[lime bone]

Ahh i see it now. It was a little ways out of revlio range haha. Ty

[feral locust]

Yep, nothing a Revlio can't solve

[lime bone]

was over here blasting it with every spell lool

[feral locust]

Depulso or Wingardium Leviosa

[lime bone]

ya i know those spells work lol. I just didnt know what to do with it since revelio didnt pick anything else up other than that boulder. I was trying to smash it open or something lol

[feral locust]

If I remember it correctly, there are several other type of trails

5 pillars that need to blast with confingo

[lime bone]

ya there are. I just couldnt figure this one out because revelio didnt reveal everything

all i had was the ball

[feral locust]

3 piles of lighting bugs that needs to guide them to 3 stone pillars infused with moonstones.

[lime bone]

ya ive done all those. They have everything appear in a revelio.

[feral locust]

Repair 3 or 4 statues

Guide 3 piles of small balls to pinch

blast 9 small balls on the pillars with basic cast

[lime bone]

i get it lol

[feral locust]

These are the type, and there are 95 in total for achievement/Trophy, so...

[graceful solstice]

Anyone else find Garreth's sidequest absolutely pointless?

[feral locust]

there are a lot of pointless side quest.

[graceful solstice]

True but Garreth's one literally makes no sense since we can just enter Hogsmeade whenever we wsnt

[feral locust]

Well, ingredient seller is not for customer and dry billywig sting is not for sale.

Also, that guy is a amateur magical beer maker

[graceful solstice]

Anyone else wonder how Mongrel fur works in potions?

In the books it's so much better and also even in the older HP games

In HL it's just throw random stuff together that doesn't make sense

[feral locust]

Kinda dull, but you know that's just a utility.

[graceful solstice]

But if you think about it it's actually pretty cruel to the Mongrels and Ashwinders

You just take their eggs ⚰️

Tbh I also kind of wish the game didn't have the Central Hub

It takes away the use of the Grand Staircase which doesn't really have a use in the game

It just goes to 2 corridors

[feral locust]

Yeah, there's no direct access from Astronemy Wing to Grand Staircase.

As I Recal

[quick basalt]

tbf based on the exterior layout of the castle, the grand staircase can't really lead many places

[feral locust]

Did the staircase function as a hub during 1990s?

[quick basalt]

I don't think Hogwarts really had a 'hub' so to speak

the hub in the game is very gamey, to not confuse players

[feral locust]

gamey..haha

[quick basalt]

In the books the castle layout was terrible, which is why knowing shortcuts and secret passages was so valuable

I think it would have been cool if they dropped the hub, and just had it be confusing to navigate, but let people who explore find secret passages that would make going from place to place faster and easier

but I can totally understand that they didn't want to make it bad for the people who didn't explore as well

[blazing grotto]

Hubwarts

[exotic plaza]

@feral locust why did u tag me here

im using the charm

but they always caught me

[feral locust]

You enter stealth, go into the library from the left door. Because one of the prefect will always stand in front of the right door.

Also, when Seb created the distraction, quickly go to Librarian's desk, grab the key, and hide behind the bookshelf on the right until she passed. Then Rendezvous with Seb

[sweet barn]

how many enemies do I have to ancient magic to get the achievement?

[slim elk]

All possible ones I believe

[sweet barn]

ok

[warped minnow]

The castle layout changes even between the movies. I've kind of just written it off as the castle changes on it's own in certain ways over time. The blueprints collection book has some details on how it changes between movies, but someone else has a really in depth analysis on everything about Hogwarts the castle across all the movies and books.

[feral locust]

Every single one except for infamous foes and three types of armored trolls. As well as a type of mongel who follows poachers near Forbidden Forest

[sweet barn]

ok, thanks

[feral locust]

The mongel I am talking about it required.

[sweet barn]

o

ok*

[sly dagger]

Did anyone actually snitch on Sebastian? 💀 Ong I’d be so mad if I was dying and my uncle didn’t let anyone help me. I’d avada kedavra him too

[feral locust]

AK solomon is a bit rastional, but you got that right.

[sly dagger]

I will take my last breathe to take his ong I would haunt my whole family if they sacrificed me like a goat 💀

[feral locust]

They are not going to.

We are too valuable for Sebastian to that relic sacrifice.

[lucid siren]

finally i can learn this spell

the last spell

[dull canyon]

I fear no one was too valuable when it came to the sacrifice. Seb put Anne's curing above all else

Its same as Anakin in Ep 3. No one was gonna deter him from a path that could stop Padme from dying forever

That's what Anakin wanted ultimately by the time of ep 3. The power to control life and death and everything around him.

We see its beginnings in ep 2 and it continues in ep 3

[spare cosmos]

I did tell on him the first time through, lol.

[arctic glen]

Im sorry i know im gonna get jumped but this just reminded of sebastian too much for me to not share it

[arctic glen]

Same i snitched on him on my second playthrough, mostly because i didnt on my first playthrough but also because he got on my nerve so much lmao

[spare cosmos]

We let Sebastian off the hook and suddenly he's back trying to bring his uncle back from the dead so Ann can talk to him. He figures out how to raise Inferius and control them without a relic and Avada Kedavras Ominis for trying to stop him. We let him off the hook and so on and so on 😛

Until the dude is Lord Voldemort xD

[arctic glen]

The problem is that none of the two options really satisfy me. Because at the same time it feels unfair how he get away with it without any kind of actual consequences after being ready to make a straigth up sacrifice and also we have no proof he wont start with his dark magic stuff again but on the other hand Azkaban feels so harsh for something that could almost be considered self defense as we have no idea how far Solomon could have gone

In the end to me hes just a lost kid who made bad choices because no one really was here to help him avoid those choices

[blazing grotto]

Yeah, I can only wish Azkaban on people like Harrow.

[arctic glen]

And solomon with his unsuferable behavior was even a big reason that pushed him to do those choices ; the feeling that no one except him could and wanted to help anne

[arctic glen]

Yeah like hes just a kid and its not like Solomon was a brigth angel that saved millions. Its even stated that he once used an unforgivable

[spare cosmos]

I don't think Avada Kedavra was the sole option for self defense, though. Expelliarmus does the trick, and once he's disarmed, just Levioso his ass or petrify him xD

[final sorrel]

avada kedabruh

[blazing grotto]

Yes, it was still a bad decision. Just not an Azkaban one imo.

[arctic glen]

Yeah, wich is also why i dont really believe "he didnt mean it", like, out of all possible spells you chose the ONLY one that had no chances to leave him alive

[spare cosmos]

I guess it helps that you can't block AK, but you get an unblockable spell that kills (your family).

[spare cosmos]

He definitely meant it, yeah. You have to mean those!

[final sorrel]

when you try to cast an unforgivable, if you dont mean it, nothing happens ye?

[spare cosmos]

ye

[blazing grotto]

If there was a juvenile hall (or even a regular jail) option it’d be an easier decision.

[spare cosmos]

Does the game ever actually say he goes to Azkaban?

I don't remember

We can just stick him in our nabsack for a year 😌

[young notch]

I did. RAVENCLAW BETTER

[storm knoll]

Yeah, the issue is that both options are terrible. Could have prevented it all if our avatar had the ability to stand up to Sebastian, and then stand up to Solomon later. So effing passive.

Our characters, who can easily destroy entire armies of goblins, take down the Rookwood crime syndicate, and defeat dozens, if not hundreds of giant spiders, trolls, and evil dogs

[spare cosmos]

It was tragic, because the Inferius swarming everyone left no room to really act in a more thoughtful way, I think. If the situation wasn't hectic, maybe Sebastian wouldn't have felt the need to AK, or even if he did, without the Inferius to interfere, the MC could've helped to take down Solomon without killing him, and/or take down Sebastian first.

[storm knoll]

too scared to step in and stop it all

The whole Sebastian questline

I'm just not a fan

The fact that he takes his frustrations out on the character, and has a history of acting irrationally, but we're required to stick around, take the emotional abuse, and help him kill his uncle

I guess I'm not a huge fan of how pre-determined it all is

no real choices, no morality meter or anything, no relationship meter, etc.

[spare cosmos]

Hoping the next game is more conducive to that.

[storm knoll]

just "yes sir, keepers" and "ok, Sebastian, ILY"

In all total fairness, our characters are supposed to be quite young, and naive to pretty much everything, both wizard and muggle

[spare cosmos]

I think it's a good starting point for a Sebastian villain origin story for the next game, depending on where he ends up xD

[storm knoll]

so it makes sense, on some level, to be on a narrow track

yeah, I agree. Sebastian is going to cause more trouble for sure

[spare cosmos]

I'm guessing that he's not going to stop looking for ways to heal Anne, even if he regrets Solomon's death, and if we sent him to prison, he'll want revenge on us.

[storm knoll]

I've played too many games where people are always secretly evil, because all throughout the game, I kept expecting <name> to betray me. I was sus of Sebastian, Headmaster Black, Arn, San Bakar, Ruth Singer, Richard Jackdaw, and George Osric.

At some point I was even slightly sus of Professor Fig and Poppy

[spare cosmos]

I thought Jackdaw was gonna try to kill me 😂

He was just being nice

[storm knoll]

lol yeah

I was expecting betrayal at every turn

Oh, also sus of Keeper Rookwood, just because of the family connection

[spare cosmos]

I think the game could've used more ways to emotionally attach to the villains, too. It just kinda seemed like there was no Voldemort-Harry level of relation, really.

[storm knoll]

There's a fantastic foundation to improve upon, if they choose to do so, for future games.

[spare cosmos]

The only character I really felt for was Sebastian.

I agree!

I also liked the Weasley kid and the gobstones girl, lol. Hope they give them more to do next game.

[storm knoll]

Yeah, the Sebastian story, while I didn't care for the lack of choice, was the only one that made me pause and think, "jesus, this game got dark quick"

like there was no need for Sebastian to use AK

and he had to have meant it.

I'm guessing even something he'd been wanting to do for more than the duration of the battle.

[spare cosmos]

Yeah 😦

[storm knoll]

He convinced himself that Solomon was the thing in the way from saving Anne

[spare cosmos]

He felt let everyone had given up and that everyone wanted him to wallow in hopelessness, like them. He felt really alone, and he was angry at Solomon for that.

Which I understand. Still murder, though 🤣

[storm knoll]

If only our characters could have spoken with Solomon, Anne, and Ominis, and helped come up with some kind of solution

here I am wanting a 15 year old Hogwarts student to turn into Dr. Who

[storm knoll]

I expected Weasley kid to re-appear at some point

[spare cosmos]

Weasley seemed like he would've been a lot more interesting that Natty, simply based on his personality alone 😛 Natty's story was the most boring, sadly.

[storm knoll]

I find Natty to be very bland

She's a nice character I guess. Just nothing exciting.

[spare cosmos]

If her mother had been killed because of her going after Harlow by herself, then she had to deal with the consequences of her recklessness while still having to fight Harlow, it would've been a lot more memorable.

[storm knoll]

oh man. That would put it near Sebastian levels of soul crushing for me lol

[spare cosmos]

And in that way, another Hogwarts professor dies, so we're roped in that way, too. It would've been thematic for a Gryffindor to lose someone because of your recklessness, lose your courage, and then regain it.

Unfortunately, Natty doesn't have an arc. She's just at peak Gryffindor courage the entire time 😛

[storm knoll]

lol

[lucid siren]

bro
WHY NOONE TOLD ME THAT RANRON IS SO STRONG TO KILL????

NOT EVEN AVAKA KEDAVRA CANT DO ANY DMG

IM making potions rn as much as possible

[storm knoll]

Is there a mechanic to defeating him? I've only finished the main story once, so I don't recall.

Like, does he have orbs or shields that have to be taken down, etc.

[lucid siren]

no...

HE turns into a hella dragon

and bro it's so harddddd

[storm knoll]

To leave Ranrok Dragon vulnerable to attack, the player will need to destroy the colored orbs that appear during the battle. Like with Pensieve Guardian orbs, these orbs can only be destroyed by casting a spell that matches the orb's color.Mar 9, 2023

[lucid siren]

oh this orbs but its hard to destroy them sometimes

while this dragon attacks me

[storm knoll]

yeah, they're harder to get to

[lucid siren]

ohh match the orbs spell color

hmmmmmm got it ill try it

[storm knoll]

[lucid siren]

is there way to take every power and turn evil?

[storm knoll]

Was Slytherin your result on the official test, or was it chosen? Either way is cool, I'm jw

[lucid siren]

my result actually

[storm knoll]

nice

My niece is 6, and she wants to be Slytherin

[lucid siren]

ay nice

slytherin is cool

[lucid siren]

@storm knoll you know maybe?

[storm knoll]

Did you know you'd get that result?

Like you can get all of the unforgivable curses

and you can absorb the power at the end

but it doesn't actually do anything

[lucid siren]

oh lmao that's sad

😭

[storm knoll]

yeah, I was a good Hufflepuff through the entire game. But then at the end I saw my chance for ultimate power, so I chose to absorb it, while Prof. Fig passed away on the ground.

[lucid siren]

i know that someone at the of proffesors will die idk who yet im curious ill just do the quest ig

[lucid siren]

OH

NO WAY HE???

[storm knoll]

no lol

[lucid siren]

😭 😭

[storm knoll]

no haha

[lucid siren]

oh rlly?

[storm knoll]

I just chose to exaggerate

[lucid siren]

oh i see

[storm knoll]

I mean, there's choices to make that affect the "end" in some ways

[lucid siren]

thanks god he's cool ngl old fart i like him

[storm knoll]

but I think only a handful of them

[lucid siren]

oh dang frr

[storm knoll]

Yeah, Fig is cool. I'm glad that he didn't betray me at the beginning like I thought he would.

[lucid siren]

when i said that i want to take all the power he was so scared of me lmao

[storm knoll]

At first, with how George looks over his shoulder oddly, just before boarding the carriage. I assumed I was going to get kidnapped.

lol yeah

[lucid siren]

lmaoooo

[storm knoll]

lol I was sus of everyone

[lucid siren]

yeah same

tho idk what's gonna happeened with sebastian cant wait to continue story

[storm knoll]

Ruth Singer has to be either crooked af, or the most useless officer in the world

[lucid siren]

he used avaka kavedra on his uncle for now im here only

[lucid siren]

LMAOOOO

[storm knoll]

I'd be fine with a DLC where Ruth Singer is the real crime boss behind everyone

All along pulling Ranrok's strings

Maybe she was cast out of Hogwarts as a child and wanted to destroy the world as revenge

[lucid siren]

no way he died😭 😭 😭

[main inlet]

Yes

[final sorrel]

Do you actually get to take ur owls?

[spare cosmos]

No 😦

[final sorrel]

BOOO

[calm lagoon]

I like how in the first 5 minutes we already witness a death and see thestral become visible

[tardy shell]

Since ive defeated ranroc should i start my next playthrough now or just do the house cup? I did it during my first playthrough so there isnt really a point

[tardy shell]

New game, gonna be gryffindor this time

[void geyser]

is there any way to get to askaban? ive seen video clips of dementors and wondering how to get them

[celest rock]

hufflepuff quest

[blazing grotto]

Part of the jackdaw quest line for Hufflepuffs only.

[void geyser]

oh ok

[calm lagoon]

the extra assingments make no sense

why is a flying teacher teaching me a exploding charm

attends 1 charm class and the teacher just goes away

I wish students we trusted showed up

and hanged with fig in the basement

[steel galleon]

I have a question actually why tf did fig have polyjuice on hand? That was the most absurd explanation he gave us 😭 it made me feel so bad because it made me be hyper suspicious of him

[feral locust]

he has, that's all the matters.

[calm lagoon]

I like fig

[steel galleon]

Given how much time that thing takes to be brewed and all, it was......... Sus 👁️👄👁️

[calm lagoon]

I was kinda exspecting fig to turn evil

[steel galleon]

Me too!

[calm lagoon]

tbh he is a wanted man by the goblins

[lament juniper]

So if you turn off the games ambient music, during the house cup finale quest line when the students gather around you to cheer its just like 3 voice actors kinda randomly cheering. Makes for the most awkward scene I've ever watched.

[steel galleon]

Like he was being so hush hush, he had polyjuice potion, he had vague connections etc

I thought he was the OG villain behind it all

[calm lagoon]

tbh he was probally protecting us

[feral locust]

@steel galleonSo I heard someone sobbed on this scene

[steel galleon]

PLS 😭

IT WAS SAD

[feral locust]

Yeah, and I feel like this scene could be extremely sad with my little fanfic.

[lament juniper]

I sobbed, only because my low graphics and crap frame rate made ending Ranrok damn near impossible. and I was so happy to finally be done with it.

[steel galleon]

WHY

CAN'T I SEND THAT

[steel galleon]

What fanfic

[feral locust]

You when you were watching that scene

[steel galleon]

I hate u

[lament juniper]

Big brother doesnt want you outing your friend for being a silly goose

[steel galleon]

Is it niffler mask that's being censored

OH ITS ME INSULTING HIM ITS M-F

No i need a fanfic where fig is alive and happy and gets promoted

[feral locust]

I came up a little project of my MC's background( yeah, this particular character). That she was from China, got kicked out by her original family for thought- to- be squib, passed out when wonder the street homeless, waked up near a graveyard with other bodies. used uncontrolled magic, found by fig and Miriam.

[steel galleon]

Jeez ya really dragging your MC through the mud

Giving her some traumatic background huh

[feral locust]

She's been through a lot, resilient, but still have feeling and emotions just like other girls.

[steel galleon]

It's ok trauma makes us funny

[iron nexus]

I miss Fig

He’s the dad my MC never had

[feral locust]

I like that type of story of MC have experienced something super awful to make her stronger, but still contains some weakness in her heart.

[steel galleon]

I genuinely just cackled @ your pfp fox

[feral locust]

For my MC, he is

[iron nexus]

Puffskeins for ever

[steel galleon]

I cried (I had my periods) because of the baby nifflers

I've never wanted a creature to be real

[iron nexus]

I remember just going “squeeeee!”

[iron nexus]

Gerald, my beloved

Baby Fwoopers ❤️

[calm lagoon]

Ministry "we need more proof the goblins are up to something"

[feral locust]

Any beasts tagged with Baby will be instantly adorable.

[calm lagoon]

Theres like 50 goblin camps surrounding hogwarts and there extremely violent and cursed a girl

[feral locust]

It's a gift

[steel galleon]

Did yall use the

Uhm. Giants.

[feral locust]

Trolls?

[steel galleon]

Griphorn?

No the big ass horse beast

[feral locust]

Once a while

[iron nexus]

It lifts my spirits to hear the poachers cry in terror as my Graphorn barrels towards them

[feral locust]

Graphorn, yeah, once a while. But I use them for breeding baby Graphorn

[iron nexus]

Also adorable

[feral locust]

ikr, most enjoyable things ever.

[iron nexus]

You can find female Graphorn at the spot where you got the Lord of the Shore

[feral locust]

Yeah, you come back, and you fight a graphorn with different sex, and you nap-sacking him/her

Yeah, you missed Graphorn

[calm lagoon]

after school activitys in legacy

[feral locust]

Not this again, you call fighting evil factions that try to destroy the world "evil"?

[calm lagoon]

nah its not evil

just funny

How you go around brutally killing people and goblins

[feral locust]

Who wouldn't hesitate to do the same to you.

[calm lagoon]

fair

[dull canyon]

self-defense

[turbid spruce]

does anyone have tips on the rookwood fight

[calm lagoon]

hogwarts is too safe in the 19th centuary

[dull canyon]

pro tip - don;t die

[feral locust]

Beside, Ranrok ordered to capture you onsite,

[dull canyon]

AM on Rookwood

[feral locust]

Avada

[calm lagoon]

cant

[turbid spruce]

never thought ab that one ill lyk how it works 🙏

[dull canyon]

Does AK break his AM shield?

[calm lagoon]

why did hogwarts stop letting kids out when its much safer

[feral locust]

I AK's Victor's ass everysingle time.

[dull canyon]

safe? - there was giant spiders in the forest

[dull canyon]

I didn't have it so i couldn't know

[calm lagoon]

I mean going to hogsmead

[calm lagoon]

idk why we are so keen on the forest of death

[feral locust]

I rarely use AK, just for Victor and Harlow

[dull canyon]

makes it easier

[dull canyon]

different eras. different attitudes towards it

[calm lagoon]

that can explain why the Slytherins are so nasty in the future

too cooped up

[iron nexus]

Because the poor beasts need saving from the mean poachers

[feral locust]

This is from my puff

[dull canyon]

true. also who doesn't love a good adventure

[iron nexus]

Also, it’s the only place you can find unicorns

[feral locust]

Slytherin was fine before Tom went to school.

[dull canyon]

forests are were adventure is at in the old world

seen as mysterious and enchanting and dangerous

still can give off that vibe and can be dangerous still

[feral locust]

factos

[calm lagoon]

did you let Sebastian crucio you?

[dull canyon]

yikes that scar...

ur mc has been through some crap

[calm lagoon]

I find it funny how you havent even made it to hogwarts

[dull canyon]

It can make you look more badass

[calm lagoon]

and you seen a man die

[feral locust]

I just happened to have the same shot.

[dull canyon]

So who has the HP scar thing implying they survived an AK in their life

[calm lagoon]

I kinda like using the half glasses look

[feral locust]

Sort of?

[iron nexus]

Screenshot twins, haha

Personally I love the Zonko’s prankster glasses, don’t care for the rest of the set

[feral locust]

Sorry, I love this kind of thing. And I want to expand all my playthrough to fill with screenshots

[calm lagoon]

is it just me

or does the music always build up to a classic harry potter song

but falls flat?

[feral locust]

You got me on this one, but I do have shots on close moment.

[feral locust]

Because the music is the ultimate inspiration for Hogwarts Legacy's composers.

[dull canyon]

I love the start menu theme - mysterious vibes from it

among many other themes

[calm lagoon]

avada kedavra is unforgiveable

[iron nexus]

There are so many tracks I love from the game

[feral locust]

I like this kind of scar, where you have a lashed out wound on the bottom right of your right eye

[dull canyon]

final boss theme and guardian sentinels themes are epic

[iron nexus]

All the vivarium tracks are so calming

[calm lagoon]

anyway heres a spell to turn people into explosive barrels

[dull canyon]

yah thats an op spell

[iron nexus]

And there’s a piece of music that plays while exploring at night, that I also adore

[calm lagoon]

is it weird im too use to old movie harry potter games

[dull canyon]

seems we never showed people how to modify spells as we did given they ain't done later in timeline

[calm lagoon]

and the layout of legacy confused me

[iron nexus]

Greenhouse theme (which I think of as Prof Garlick’s theme) is also very calming

[dull canyon]

cos we basically turned exspelliarmus into a curse and modified spells so AK can kill things it doesn't directly hit

[calm lagoon]

Our student somehow made avada kedavra more deadly

[dull canyon]

best not tell anyone that later

[calm lagoon]

I think its their ancient magic

empowering it

[iron nexus]

Our student can also clone Chinese Chomping Cabbages

[dull canyon]

which we can then destroy any foe with

[dull canyon]

probably

[feral locust]

Just to hang out with Professor Garlic.

[dull canyon]

or we are just realyl good at modifiying spells

[calm lagoon]

pog

[feral locust]

I still wonder why they called it " CHINESE Chomping Cabbages"

[dull canyon]

cos it oriignated in china

[calm lagoon]

^

[iron nexus]

I think ancient magic could also explain why the MC doesn’t suffer as much if Seb casts Crucio on them

[iron nexus]

Whereas if the MC casts it on Seb, he seems to have a rougher time

[calm lagoon]

everyone wearing normal uniforms my character showing up like 1800s elton john

[feral locust]

Yep, this and 刘涛（Liu Tao) are all the lore they have on Chinese wizarding community

At least we know we have a ministry...

[iron nexus]

Coming to flying class in a suit of armour, yes

[feral locust]

lol

[iron nexus]

At least if I fall, I’ll be protected

[calm lagoon]

Going to a stealth mission in bright blue

[iron nexus]

And I probably am gonna fall because the suit is so heavy

[feral locust]

I don't like dress other clothes inside the school.

[dull canyon]

I did wonder how JK would handle China given its governments stance on the supernatural or at least some aspects of the supernatural

[feral locust]

Or at least more normal like these

[feral locust]

We have folk lore long ago for that kind of thing.

Remember Zouwu(驺吾）， that's from one of the folk lore

[dull canyon]

Yah I know.

[calm lagoon]

so are we doing the ministrys job

but killing dark wizards goblins and poachers

[feral locust]

I think this francise will focus on schools, not ministry.

Anyway, heading to Hogwarts now.

a picture of Anne I thought it was cool.

And Seb

[dull canyon]

I think seeing a more Chinese looking dragon would be cool

cos so far they appear to be of the western type dragon

[honest karma]

Well it is set in Ireland, Eastern style dragons aren't going to be around especially as they're kept in breeding grounds

[dull canyon]

I know but even the one chinese dragon we have is a european type dragon

Like I'm talking the dragon type in chinese myth that are low-slung, elongated and slender with no wings. That would be cool to see aswell

[honest karma]

Looks like that to me

This is the Chinese Fireball scarf it looks like the eastern style dragon

[feral locust]

Chinese Fireball.. Yeah, And there are two

[honest karma]

There's a teal and a ruby coloured one

Also a royal one

[honest karma]

Blue, red andd purple

[honest karma]

Teal one shows the dragon best though

[honest karma]

Anyway as I said we don't see one in game as we're in Scotland but eastern style dragons are a thing in the east

[dull canyon]

Yah but the actual dragon does not

[honest karma]

Of course not we're in Scotland why would a Chinese Fireball be in Scotland?

[dull canyon]

Cos Poachers could grab one. I don't mean in this game, I mean in general i think it would be nice other dragon designs in the franchise beyond the european style dragon

[honest karma]

Like I said we have one and we have a couple of eastern style critters in fantastic beasts series. However the focus has more been on the wizards and the west than the animals and the east

[feral locust]

And there are no travelling expanse for wizards

[honest karma]

not in the late 19th century

[feral locust]

Yeah, because they don't bother making wizarding lore for East, especially in China.

[honest karma]

i doubt even wizards travel much then

[feral locust]

Poachers do

[honest karma]

and they went to borneo as the galleons are in acromantula's not dragons

[feral locust]

I mean Poppy said her parents are in Indonesia right now

Well, do't forget ever-expanding charm is a thing

[honest karma]

I believe they're in Egypt going by the letters

Poor Smithy never made it

[feral locust]

🤡

[honest karma]

I'm fairly sure those 3 letters are by her parents

He looks creepy, there are some things in this game that could easily be extended into a horror movie

[honest karma]

I think its the lighting on my computer everything seems dimmer than on the game

He's got thick dark shadows around his eyes

[onyx lark]

I have no idea how Moon can be afraid of demiguises...

[honest karma]

so on my laptop its this white face with black pools where his eyes should be

and the floor makes it look like an inverted cross is coming out from his feet

Nice character design though for waht I can see of him

Of course the game does strange things too at times, I swear my character looks like a bobble head doll in the hippogriff scene

[feral locust]

Finally heard some T4 students comment on what I have done.@brittle oyster

Yeah, cross wands, loyalists,etc

Time for the trail 2

[honest karma]

the views in this game are glorious

That one took me an embarassingly long time

In defense of this its one of only two fireplaces you can do that and it doesn't have a convenient thing behind it to let you know

yes two

the other one you can find before getting alohamora

[feral locust]

Yep

[feral locust]

Yeah, took me a while as well.@brittle oyster

[honest karma]

Now you just need to find the other fireplace wtih things behind it

I do like that room though

all the flying diagrams

[feral locust]

You mean the one in the library

[honest karma]

I was trying not to spoilit for them

hence why I was trying to be vague so you could ahve the fun of looking and finding

Have you found the werewolf room yet?

[feral locust]

yeah, you might wonder why you have a pages missing or something

[honest karma]

Its creeepy

[feral locust]

basement from History of magic section

You remember how you enter the map chamber by foot?

I will stop here, it's more fun if you find it yourself.

[honest karma]

I use it as my starting broom. My character is making their own (as you should in this time period) so that one then when I get the upgrade the house broom still debating which order to do the next two in either night flyer and widowwwisp or widowwisp then nightflyer. THe nightflyer looks more advanced but I don't like the bycicle seat

Out of curiosity I'm watching a playthrpough and the spells have a sort of shifting smoke in the colour of them whereas in my game they're just a flat colour. Anyone know how to change that?

[feral locust]

Just heard a T4 student said " have a pleasant time at school" to me

[honest karma]

looks painful

[feral locust]

Speaking of painful.

👍

[tepid junco]

Anyone know when the next merlin drop stream will be

[summer vapor]

I’m giggling after seeing two posts my friend made/reblogged on tumblr back to back. A Hogwarts legacy post and a mystery flesh pit national park ad/propaganda/thing.

[tepid junco]

Ok

[calm lagoon]

Kinda sus fig has polyjuice

[feral locust]

@brittle oysterListening to this while at work.

Tencent Music, one of the music streaming service we can use in China

Beautifully sad

@brittle oysterHey, do you know how many Hogwarts roaming sound track are there beside Hall of Hogwarts

I'm trying to find one I particularly like

Found two so far\

[calm lagoon]

The third trial was certainly something

[lime bone]

Sure hope in the next game, if there is one, theres consequences to using the curses. Feels weird that you are essentially punished for not having them, as there is no benefit to not getting them

[feral locust]

Morale system is hard to do, let's hope Avalanche got the time to make them.

[lime bone]

Doesnt even require a morale system, just any negative consequence at all lol

[storm knoll]

It's not like every other open world RPG already has one or anything lol

even PS2 games have morality systems

[feral locust]

Everything things takes time to do it.

It's not a matter of they want to or not, it's they can do before the deadline or not.

[storm knoll]

Star Wars: KOTR has a morality system and it was published 20 years ago

I know WB tends to be ~20 years behind everyone else, but come on

[feral locust]

You didn't get what I said, I meant system like this would take times and they need to consider the deadline.

[lime bone]

i mean HL just came out. There is no deadline to consider for the next game lol

[storm knoll]

Look. If a modern gaming company can't implement 20 year-old tech into their games, it's their issue.

or if they outright refuse to do so

I'm halfway trolling, but it really is limiting when our choices don't actually affect the world

[feral locust]

Ahhh, looks like we are not even talking about the same game.

[lime bone]

I agree. The unforgivable curses are unforgivable because you have to have evil intent to even use them.

[feral locust]

And don't get me wrong, I want moral system as much as you guys.

[slim elk]

What’s a moral system

[lime bone]

This entire conversation started when you replied to my first message which literally said "Sure hope in the next game"

[storm knoll]

I can use the killing curse, in front of Professor Fig and Poppy a hundred times, and nothing happens. lol

that's silly

and lore-breaking

[feral locust]

Consequences for your choices in-game.

[slim elk]

Ohhh

[lime bone]

what got me was natty telling me about casting without a wand being the norm where shes from and then much later when shes kidnapped "Its natty's wand! She cant cast without this!"

[storm knoll]

There's a wonderful foundation

the game has a lot of potential

we're just the beta testers who paid to do the testing

so they know how to make the next game properly

[feral locust]

If you think like this, you might as well stop playing games, I mean that's basically how game works nowdays, like it or not.

[calm lagoon]

She's gotten too use to it

A wand is a British invention

[feral locust]

And wandless magic is pretty common among African wizarding community

[calm lagoon]

^

[feral locust]

Wand is a european fashion, other region don't practice that.

[calm lagoon]

It's a useful tool

[lime bone]

I prefer writing with a pen but I can still dip my finger in ink and write my name. I dont understand how one could just forget how to do something they have done for most of their life.

Its not even a tool. If magic is exactly the same, no more powerful at all, when casted by hand or with wand, how is it a tool? Same exact effect.

[calm lagoon]

A wand focuses the magic and releases it in a stable form

[feral locust]

because not many european people can do wandless magic.

[lime bone]

But that would be a cultural thing. Its not that they can't, its that they simply dont.

[lime bone]

But they literally say that magic is not worse without a wand.

at the very least, I just think its a large plot hole.

[feral locust]

Wandless magic is not inferior.

[lime bone]

Thats what I said.

[storm knoll]

real answer: the writing was, at times, slightly lazy

[lime bone]

points to hufflepuff

[storm knoll]

lol

I mean, why put total effort into a task if you get paid the same amount for putting only 70% effort?

[graceful solstice]

this happens whenever I get hit by a troll lol

[storm knoll]

No one goes 100% sprinting as hard as possible all the time. I imagine the various teams working on the game were stressed and pressed and had to be human at times.

[lime bone]

Ya i get it. I aint upset with the devs over it. I just found it funny players tried to cover it by saying "shes used to casting with a wand and forgot how to do this thing that she has done for most of her magic wielding life and had watched her parents do for her entire life"

[feral locust]

You do know Natsai Onai is not British, right?

[lime bone]

What did I say that implies she was british?

[feral locust]

You can't just assume every other parts of the world have same doctrine as Britian Wizarding community.

[lime bone]

I didn't.

[calm lagoon]

After school activities

[storm knoll]

lol

[feral locust]

She used to casting spells without a wand because she's from Zimbabwe, She found wand useful, but she still thinks wandless magic is more convenient.

[lime bone]

Okay?

[storm knoll]

Neither here nor there, but Natsai is the least interesting companion in the entire game, and I groan every time I have to do a quest with her.

[lime bone]

My argument was about the guy who said she forgot how to cast without a wand lol.

[feral locust]

huh. Didn't notice that comment.

My bad

I am an idiot.

[calm lagoon]

Never said that don't put words in my mouth

I stated she gotten used to wands

[lime bone]

okay, what they said was "Shes gotten use to it", in response to my bit about how in early game she gives us her spiel about wandless magic, and then later when shes kidnapped "Its nattys wand, she cant cast without it!"

[calm lagoon]

I never said she forgotten

[feral locust]

I am pretty sure MC said she CAN cast without it

[calm lagoon]

You must be fun all you do is whine

[feral locust]

Unless you show me the screenshot to prove me wrong otherwise.

[calm lagoon]

It's one dialogue

[lime bone]

So triggered lol

[feral locust]

yep, and we are argueing over one dialogue... just like turning Sebastian in or not.

[calm lagoon]

Not triggered you are just super annoying

[lime bone]

Insulting people is not something calm and collected people do, usually.

[feral locust]

I have played the game for like 4 playthroughs now, and I heard CAN everytime I play that part.

[lime bone]

Cant point out a plot hole without getting jumped on I guess

[feral locust]

It's not a plot hole. You just heard the dialogue wrong.

[lime bone]

I mean hey, maybe I'm wrong. I only just played it for the first time. But neither of us has proof readily available so I dont know why you're quick to judge lol.

[calm lagoon]

Anyway

Fig is kinda sus

With the polyjuice

[lime bone]

I thought every character was sus, to be honest. Kept expecting everyone to betray me

[storm knoll]

I'm not even sure what the entire wand argument is, since I'm in and out. But when Natty leaves her wand behind, the character makes a point to state that Natty can cast without it, and so she must have left it behind as a clue.

[feral locust]

I’m kinda new to this game, and I was wondering, even when you entirely finish every mission and side quest, is there anything else to do?

[lime bone]

Oof. Then I did mishear it lmao. Im watching a walkthrough on youtube right now to prove it to myself lol

[feral locust]

We are having this arguement because someone heard the dialogue wrong and thought it was a plot hole.

You really would think devs would be that careless?

[lime bone]

Yes

[storm knoll]

Well, it's all a misunderstanding then. It happens. Let's smile and move onwards.

lol

[slim elk]

Grow plants

Brew potions

Fight dark wizards

[feral locust]

Collect every collectibles, get achievements

And start another playthrough with another house.

[slim elk]

That to

[storm knoll]

Each House has specific quests, I believe

not a ton of them, but a handful

[feral locust]

okay, cuz I’m a big fan of Harry Potter and only recently got this game, but I get so annoyed when I get into a game just to finish it and have nothing to do

[slim elk]

We get to go to Azkaban while the other houses don’t

[feral locust]

Sadly, just one quest

[storm knoll]

ah, just the one? I've not played the other Houses.

yeah, there's a lot to do in-game. Finishing everything won't be a quick task

[lime bone]

I need to start a new one soon because I chose not to grab the curses but I wanna try em out so gotta run again lol

[feral locust]

okay good, cuz I’m into games like botw and ect, botw has so much to do and I was hoping this would be similar

[storm knoll]

a full playthough takes a while to do

[feral locust]

i played all day, all day, and only 8% in XD

[lime bone]

Highly recommend some of the side quests. The amount of loot I have missed by not having level 3 alohomora (or however its spelled) is unreal.

[feral locust]

unlike dying light, few hours and almost 20% done
and dead island almost 60% ina day XD

[feral locust]

noted

[feral locust]

It takes time. Like I have 600 hours ,and I still need to finish my gryffindor and Ravenclaw

[storm knoll]

especially if you slow down and read the dialogue and field guide pages, take time to admire the scenery, etc. I mean, if you just mash the button that advances dialogue, and plow through as fast as possible, it's a short game. But like to actually immerse yourself, makes the game quite large.

I've still not explored every inch of Hogwarts Castle

I found something in the game a few days ago that I'd never seen before

the mazes

the hedgemazes in the world

I somehow missed them before just recently

[lime bone]

Bruh I saw something in hogwarts right outside the great hall that I hadnt seen before... One of the suits of armor just goes straight wacko and obliterates one of the other suits of armor, smashed him to pieces.

[storm knoll]

lol what

[lime bone]

Ya, grabbed his axe and went to town on the poor guy

[feral locust]

You know Depulso puzzle rooms? I watched those walkthough video like three times to memorize them.

[storm knoll]

See. I don't slow down and actually look and watch enough when I'm doing missions. So I miss stuff. It's annoying.

[lime bone]

tried to repairo him but to no avail.

[calm lagoon]

My student

[feral locust]

Theit got annoyed by other one's humming

[lime bone]

On my second playthrough I intend on going slower. As soon as I have the room of requirement im farming cash to get all set up for herbology and alchemy and I'm making myself a cabbage patch kid

[storm knoll]

Lol. I used to hate those rooms. But I've done them twice now, so it's not as frustrating. And I absolutely used a walkthrough video for the final and penultimate Depulso puzzles in Room 2

[lime bone]

Hah. Probably was it. For some reason it forced me to walk in that hallway and its probably the only reason I saw it. Had I been able to run through I wouldve missed it. Glad I saw it though, was funny

[storm knoll]

lol

[lime bone]

Ooof. I found the proof. I misheard it so hard lol

[feral locust]

my gryffindor

[storm knoll]

Nice 😄

[calm lagoon]

Lol

[storm knoll]

It happens. But I mean, your complaint was wholly logical in light of what you believed to have heard.

If she can't cast with her wand, it's completely story-breaking, as far as Natty goes. Luckily, it was just a misunderstanding.

[lime bone]

Chalk it up to being an american I guess. Easy to misinterpret other accents lol

[storm knoll]

lol

[lime bone]

Also, the voice is kind of robot-esque. Idk if every voice is like that but the voice I chose is

[calm lagoon]

Everyone dresses normal

Our character shows up like 1800 Elton John

[feral locust]

You raise the pitch

[lime bone]

Youre allowed to change your voice after character creation?

[feral locust]

You can change the voice pitch to in the setting menu

For that, just use the middle one,

[lime bone]

oooh ill try that out. Its been driving me nuts.

[feral locust]

She's my main,

[dull canyon]

Exception is the Elder Wand which will enhance all spells cast with it if you are its master. And wands just make it easier to focus magic than other magic tools or without them it seems.

[honest karma]

According to the lore they seem to do more e.g. my wand will set itself on fire if I bore it

[dull canyon]

Oh dear...

[honest karma]

to be more precise it desires new experiences adn apparently many aging wizards find their sycamore wands setting themself alight after being used to fetch the wizards slippers one too many times

stated in the lore for sycamore wood

[dull canyon]

Well those wands clearly really got sick of doing that all the time and finally decided, fck this.

[honest karma]

My point is they're more than just an amplifier for magic. You have the sycamore wands doing this, phoenix wands casting spells on their own initiative, etc

[tired pulsar]

Is that Harry Potters cousin

[feral locust]

No, her name is Constantine Dashwood🤡

[tired pulsar]

That's a woman?

[rotund frigate]

? @

[honest karma]

ouch

[feral locust]

What?????

I think I'm socialy dead at this point...

[tired pulsar]

🍌

Bnana

[honest karma]

you need another a

[feral locust]

I think you can consider me dead at this point.

[honest karma]

That was to LuigiLazul they need another a after the B but before the n

[feral locust]

OK, another shots, and see if anyone can figure out she is a girl or not.

[honest karma]

I don't know why but that picture makes me think of Oliver Twist "Please sir may I have some more?"

[tired pulsar]

Bnna

[honest karma]

Banana

[tired pulsar]

Bn

[tired pulsar]

Looks like a victorian child

[tired pulsar]

Mnbn

[tired pulsar]

Minions and bnanas

[feral locust]

Well, it's 1890s, so you are not wrong.

[tired pulsar]

I thought it was set in 1872

[feral locust]

at least after September 1st 1890

[tired pulsar]

My dog is a skinwalker

[honest karma]

No I think 1892 going by the paper

no my bad it is 1890

September 1st is the start of the English school year so its the 1890/1891 school year.

[feral locust]

Yeah, the paper George shows

[honest karma]

Which would mean we're 15/16 I believe

[feral locust]

Yep

[tired pulsar]

Sad we can't kill students and teachers

[honest karma]

You can kill Sebastian

[tired pulsar]

Why would I kill him

[honest karma]

Just saying people have killed him and taken his wand

Fig too now I think about it

Theoretically you can probably do it to Poppy, Natsai and Amit as they also travel with you so the bug should work on them as well

[feral locust]

[tired pulsar]

Id rather kill ominis

[honest karma]

Don't think you can kill him

[tired pulsar]

Damn

[honest karma]

He's never around when there's a fight

[tired pulsar]

Hes probably too weak to fight

[storm knoll]

Wut

[honest karma]

Being blind would make it difficult

[honest karma]

There's apparently a way to kill him and get a placeholder item wand off him

fig too

[haughty vale]

Grunts are actually great at killing ppl

[feral locust]

what it is that people who wants to murder everyone in-game...

[tired pulsar]

Hes blind

I'm surprised he can even cast spells

[storm knoll]

Is this an official part of the game, or some kind of glitch/mod?

[haughty vale]

a game is game, same as gta or cs, the combat im HL is g reat so I can understand the urge

[tired pulsar]

Fun

[haughty vale]

wand is connected with its owner so I dont think the blidnness is a problem in magical world lmao

[tired pulsar]

Burn the wand then

[feral locust]

there are better ways to have fun than doing this kind of thing, I can only assume you got a problem in real life.

[tired pulsar]

No

[haughty vale]

I dont think it would be that easy tho x)

[feral locust]

No offence.

[tired pulsar]

The only reason we don't kill other people is because of compassion

[honest karma]

Its a bug where at least certain NPC's can be killed in fights and you apaprently get a devtest placeholder wand in your inventory as a result

[feral locust]

Then we have nothging to say.

[tired pulsar]

But they're npcs, they don't have a soul or anything

[calm lagoon]

I feel bad for Sebastian

[tired pulsar]

Same

[honest karma]

Some of us don't feel an urge to slaughter them wholesale just because they're NPC's

[haughty vale]

people playing Counter strike have problems in real life? a game is just a game, its not that deep I think

[tired pulsar]

AI is evil

And if we don't get rid of it we will all die to it

That is why I stand for murdering npcs

[feral locust]

It's different.

[calm lagoon]

The road to hell is paved with good intentions but your friends and family litter the side walk

[haughty vale]

its not different, Hogwarts LEgacy has great combat system

[calm lagoon]

That's how I feel about Sebastian

[feral locust]

I'm sorry, as a 🇨🇳 ,I'm just that conservetive. no more saying on that.

[calm lagoon]

Portions bust it
