Hogwarts Legacy - Harry Potter open world action RPG prequel set in the late 1800s

[*-*/\--/\~]

The way it degenerated puts it somewhere between "forget about it" and "pirate for the aesthetics", depending on how bored I am.

Looking forward to the devs releasing data on the most popular houses and created characters and being shocked and dismayed the majority of players chose to larp as Aryan Slytherins.

What happens after the tutorial? Is it going to be about fighting hundreds of ghosts? Platforming around extradimensional spaces? Doing potion recipe puzzles? Just walking around watching cutscenes? If I play this game, what gameplay systems will I be spending my time with?

You can't even punch people who cares what you can do when you can't do the most basic stuff.

That is ridiculous.

I mean, punching people is half of the point of any strength spell...

 

[Cryomancer]

Play as a Slytherin chad fucking other pure-blooded Slytherin bitches...
Enough with those Gryffindor fags already.

Is modern day, slytheren = wakanda

You are not allowed to like large caliber rifles, blonde woman and other things that I don't like. nor to wanna to see HP spells in a HP game

I don't post in Sekiro's thread cuz I have zero interest in a game which forces me to use an Katana. Why so many guys who hate sorcery post in a harry potter thread so much?

The game has spells, mate. I'm not too optimistic about the game (i.e. I think that it will be mostly a theme park without too much gameplay or narrative depth), but there's plenty of concrete stuff to complain about rather than finding imaginary flaws for it.

Any Ravenclaw chads? :D

Rule through intelligence and wisdom. :D

Slytherin are the only house worth a damn because they're the only ones interested in retaining pure blood. Everyone else is going to dilute themselves until they're performing street magic. Ravenclaws apparently aren't clever enough to grok genetics.

 

[The_Mask]

I wish we could, my friend. I wish we could.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

I prefer Slytherin since Gryffindor is too goody two shoes-y (and I like the whole green & snakes aesthetic more than the vanilla noble one of red & lions), but otherwise Slytherin > Gryffindor >>> Ravenclaw >>>>>>>>> Hufflepuff.

Plus their common room is basically an aquarium, which is pretty cool.

If ravenclaw were actually smarter than everyone else, their house would rule the planet already. Since they don't, we can conclude they're more like the people who post "I FKN LOVE SCIENCE" on facebook than actual scientists/engineers.

 

[Sarathiour]

I would prefer to imagine them as mostly autist and nerd, with a strong case of yellow fever.

This assumes that smart people automatically want to rule the world, and that being smarter than the guy next to you automatically means you can achieve all your goals. Real smart people would never jump to such silly conclusions based on such dumb axioms.

An actually smart person would argue against the best version of the opponents 2 sentence argument, not the worst version.

Everyone knows spellcasting is INT-based, and ravenclaw is the INT-max house. So why are there no amazing ravenclaw wizards?

 

[Sarathiour]

Because sorcerer are CHA based

Because if you're amazing, you don't want to stand out.

Are Ravenclaw supposed to be the smartest, or just the most intelligent? Honest question - I didn't read the books.

 

[Cryomancer]

The 4 houses are : Nazis, Nerds, White Knights and Normies.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

I liked the part where they were so worried Slytherins would turn on them that they locked all the students in jail.
That's actually in the book btw.

I don't really know tbh, iirc both ravenclaw and hufflypuff barely feature in the books, it's all about evil snake people vs good lions.
I think they're canonically the most fond of studying and reading, and HP wizards do acquire new magic spells through reading and repetition. So they should at least know the most spells, even if their reflexes and aiming is perhaps not the best?

Because sorcerer are CHA based

Then hufflypuff should be the best casters.

 

[NecroLord]

Those Gryffindor niggers were the teacher's pet.
Sick of 'em.

On a more serious note, while there's nothing wrong with the concept of Hogwarts having various houses centered on different student inclinations, I think that Rowling did a really poor job of integrating that into her worldbuilding. Particularly in the case of Slytherin where there are no good characters (besides Snape I guess, but he's good in spite of being in Slytherin due to his simping for Harry's mother rather than him representing a proper embodiment of his house as portrayed by Rowling) and the main representatives we get are crybaby Malfoy and his dumb & dumber sidekicks who'd sooner fit in Hufflepuff (or perhaps Gryffindor as unvirtuous members given that they're essentially jocks, only that Rowling portrays them as unheroic bullies) rather than Slytherin. And it's also silly in that they're basically a hotbed for the children of those families that were associated with Voldemort in the past (hence acting as an echo chamber for them to reinforce their anti-establishment views), something that the school is supposedly too dumb and/or naive to realize.

And it's also kinda silly with how far the segregation between houses is taken. Ideally I think that Hermione should've been a Ravenclaw (it fits her character after all) and Ron perhaps a Hufflepuff (his family being quite superfluous in a wholesome sort of way, his older brothers being pranksters and so on) as to show how students from these houses intermingle and to avoid portraying Gryffindor as the protagonist house (vs the antagonist house of Slytherin and the sidekick houses of helpful Ravenclaw & comic relief Hufflepuff), perhaps with an added Slytherin character as part of Harry's close entourage.

I agree wholeheartedly.
The modern Slytherin(at least those from Harry Potter's generation are a bunch of incompetent bullies,almost completely retarded). What the fuck happened? The Slytherins had Merlin,Tom Riddle,Salazar,Snape. Now they have those Malfoy pretentious faggots and their lapdogs.
The Gryffindor REALLY make Rowling WET.

I think the whole idea was that the student actually picks the house himself, the hat just being there to make it a more fun ceremony (and decide for the undecided students) – after all, the hat told Harry he could be in Slytherin if he wanted to, but since he wants Griffyndor, he can fuck off there. Since slytherin was infamous for being Voldemort sympathisers, it would, in this way, gradually get filled mostly by Voldemort sympathisers (because why would other kids wanna go to a house with such a stigma?). It actually makes sense in a way – the students who really wanna be in a certain house can go there, the rest will get divided based on numbers, to make the houses about equal in numbers. And just so that the kids don't throw a fuss when they get sent to Hufflepuff, we'll tell them a magic hat decided they go there and there and nothing can be done about it.

Ravenclaws are supposed to be both intelligent *and* wise.

For example, the way to enter Ravenclaw dormitories is to answer a riddle. (which is why there have been cases where other members of other houses entered the Tower)

For example: What comes first? The Phoenix or the flame?

A circle has no beginning.

That one being the most basic Ravenclaw riddle.
