Hogwarts AND teen wizards only make sense, true, but you could play as an adult wizard in the wizard world. Maybe even with the mechanic that you have to keep your supernatural activities hidden/secret from the normies.
For sure, that's the main appeal of this game for me actually. Coz I don't care much for HP. But all those dormitories and bullworth heraldies felt so cozy. Its pretty clear at this point we are never getting game 2, not the one we were supposed to have in any case.
Who would do such a thing, peddle cringe to the Codex?
OH MY GAWD GUYS, FINALLY A HARRY POTTER RPG!! I CAN FINALLY RELIVE HIGHSCHOOL WITHOUT THOSE OBNOXIOUS BULLIES!! THIS GAME LOOKS SO DIVERSE TOO, I HOPE THERE'S A TRANS TEACHER!! THIS IS THE BEST THING SINCE RICK AND MORTY AND GAME OF THRONES!!
Hell yes, brother! Both the ps2 and once I saw it on sale I got the PC version as well a few years later. Bullworth Town felt stupidly alive, even if there were like 90 different NPC's walking around. At least they felt more alive than Oblivion. I would have liked more mandatory school activities for Bully because I passed all classes and then started doing missions.
wait i thought this wasn't actually gonna be like bully. more of an ubisoft spectacle game
I took a gander at the game's site.
Q: Does Hogwarts Legacy require an internet connection?
A: Those who purchase a physical copy of Hogwarts Legacy will be required to connect to the internet to install a Day 1 patch. Those who purchase the game digitally will receive the patch with the initial download.
Problem is, in 7 books Hogwarts is absolutely center of that world. Other places outside are barely existent, at all. the Ministry is barely registered on our perception. Or London, or Weasley's village/cottage. The second place to Hogwarts would be Knockturn Alley.
Not really no. But there are vague similarities. Vibe.
Whatever. Not like she is gonna live forever. And one days her crap becomes public domain.
You could do it over time. First use the recognizable IP to build a fan base and make a name for yourself. Then by game III move over to more customized extended universe stuff relying on your reputation. Tho probably unlikely in any case, suits who order shit at top love their fucking brands.
I don't agree - Hogwarts is obviously the center of the world, but that's because the books revolve around a boy who is a student there. That said, we're given enough material to see there is a whole magic world out there. We don't get to see too much of it, because Harry has no reason to go to outside the school.
The strong point of an IP is that people want to see stuff set in that IP. That's pretty much it.

Diaogn Alley is the shopping district and there's also the smaller, connected Knockturn Alley, which is basically a grimy, dark-arts alternative. There's probably some gameplay potential there for letting people play as dark wizards (doubtful it would ever happen) or even just having some fun encounters if the player takes a wrong turn while shopping. Exporing the other schools is probably a bad idea, tbh. Apart from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, the world building for other schools really comes across as completely retarded. You could MAYBE get away with doing the American school if you played up the new world aspect, maybe having the game take place in the 1800s or the turn of the century.
I maintain that this is part of the charm of the series. I read the Bartimaeus Trilogy as a kid, which basically takes place in an alternative history version of England where society is run by an oligarchy of magicians who summon demons to do their bidding. Again, the main conceit of those books is that you ARE dealing with a character who is trying to grind their way up through a bureaucratic society and break into the senior ranks of government. A fourth book was eventually written that dealt with one of the main POV characters (titual Djinn, Bartimaeus) and shifted the setting to the reign of King Solomon in Jerusalem, 950 BC. I had zero desire to revisit the series and read that book, because dealing with weird desert magic mumbo jumbo is nowhere near as interesting as the question, "what if bureaucrats summoned demons to do all of their dirty work for them?"
Hilarious. It's woke as hell but that's not good enough for the tranny brigade. Men in dresses are apparently at the top of the totem pole in Clown World.
