Board 8 > Hogwarts Legacy - currently playing topic only

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wowzer that other topic blew up fast.

My Amazon copy wasn't coming until Tuesday so I ran to Target and picked up the last copy they had and got a $10 gift card so that was nice. Did the house test again and got Slytherin but didn't feel right so redid and got Ravenclaw which I've always gotten. Spent about 3 hours running around the castle doing puzzles. Loving it so far!

What's your house / are you going to be a good/bad/middle wizard/witch?

I am pretty on the fence about it because I normally don't like open world games. I am curious on the spectrum from BotW/Elden Ring style open world game to Ubisoft 300 map marker open world game where this falls.

I have zero desire to play a chore

Taking my time with it. Just got done visiting hogsmeade.

I dont like that you fill up your inventory very very quickly.

Also, Ravenclaw. Mostly a good wizard, I suppose.

Yeah inventory fills up too quickly. Seems like you sell all equipment except for your best because it saves them all for changing your appearance.

I created a wizard named Bob Smith because I thought that in a land where everyone has a fancy name it would be funny. He's in Ravenclaw. I'm generally trying to be agreeable with everyone.

I am pleased that they're not going overboard with familiar names. I know Black as the headmaster is from the books but not sure about others. Like the Weasley's having an ancestor that was a professor.

Ravenclaw represent. Just getting started and haven't been to any classes yet. I gave my character the last name Lestrange so I'll be dabbling in the dark arts. As I understand it you can't fully become an evil wizard, which I wouldn't necessarily do anyway, but interested to see how choices affect things.

You can do merlin challenges to increase your inventory space

Okay the game finally opens up and it's great. Combat is fun chaining spells and then going Jedi master with the ancient magic.

Finally got a broom and flying is so much fun. Hope they add a quidditch mode in future dlc

I've put off exploring because so many places are locked. When do we get alohomora?

Yeah the locked doors are a pain, I havent gotten alohomora yet but I'm lvl 23 and the current plot quest has a recommended lvl of 11 so i may be doing much more sidequest and random stuff than I should be or Lvling is just too easy.

I think alohomora shows up in the fall. Progress the story a bit and the seasons will change.
