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

[Tyranicon]

It's 2023, peeps.

Looking for popular media to make sense has been a losing battle for a long time now.

 

[Dadd]

But I NEED an explanation to it, because otherwise it fucking makes NO sense.

They participated in British colonialism. Their families got rich from the opium trade.

If there were no black people around, how did they learn black magic? huh

 

[cpmartins]

I tried reading a hairy pooter book once. I had to stop, the sudden realization that I wasn't 13 anymore and therefore wasn't mentally handicapped enough to enjoy the childish and badly written fiction rowling is capable of putting out.
It's never a bad time to remind everyone that rowling is still, in fact, a feminist and therefore deserving of the rope as much as the troons she so adamantly opposes.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Harry Potter is a children's book series with childish nonsensical world-building, what's one more silly thing?

Explain how I like it then?

You're childish and nonsensical so it fits.

 

[Dadd]

If there were no black people around, how did they learn black magic? huh

They usually call it the dark arts or dark magic.

 

[Roguey]

Besides, the books established that there are wizard schools all over the world. Non-white students should mostly be at the schools where said minorities are majorities.

Yeah about that

This is ridiculous. Shouldn't have even bothered to define it, stick to what she knows (Britain).

I know only one spell that insta kills people in the movies, how will they balance it in the game?

Never read the books, but isn't some international sports tournament is a big plot point of one of the books? I know there's a video game about it, and some of these are present as teams. I'd guess the majority were created to be opposing teams in that event and never heard from again.

Don't know. Though it would be funny to have something like this.

They give the goblins a basic bow or other similar projectile weapon.

Rowling's wizards are worse than level 1 dnd wizardirinos in some respects.

Why don't people just use guns in this story? I never got a good explanation.

Doesn't matter how throwaway the references are, this is the canon she defined.

Wizards are fucking stupid and horrible thieves. You know that hogwarts express train they get on? Wizards just straight up stole it. Their aversion to technology is borderline retarded.

 

[Late Bloomer]

People in this thread see this and are like yes this is what I want this is my idea of a harry potter game

 

[Tyranicon]

The real question is why they have zoomer hair cuts.

 

[Ghulgothas]

Does the name creator in this have a big enough character limit to fit "Ebony Dark'Ness Dementia Raven Way" in its entirety.

It is imperative that this be known.

Even if the game where set in castelobruxo(literally Warlock's castle in English). in the game's time, Brazil where an aristocratic empire ruled by European monarchs and nobles with lots of African slaves. Argentina? They send blacks to die scouting enemies in front lines with nothing but a knife and quarantined areas with them to let diseases to kill them all. My guess is that if such setting where real, you will probably see lots of whites, castizos, mestizos and indigenous students in "castelobruxo" but not many blacks and far more muggle born(as few families would leave the old world) I'm not saying that is good, only the historical reality of the time and since JKR made the magical world in some aspects an "mirror" to real world...

Anyway, I wish that the game where set in Scholomance Durmstrang Institute.

Not in raw power. An wizard in hp universe can spam avada kedavra 24/7. While in AD&D 2e, even an epic level mage could only cast it 5 times per day(6 if specialized in necromancy)

My complaint about HP wizards (as far as I'm aware of the setting) connects with everyone else's complaints of Rowling: her worldbuilding is lazy and nonsensical, which is in many ways fine because it's mostly for kids and not meant to be taken too seriously.

But man, HP wizards are goddamn awful at any type of real-life combat. After browsing the wiki, it took HP wizards until the early middle ages to invent a killing curse, and it can be dodged or blocked with physical barriers, or shot down with other spells. And it requires magical mastery to perform.

Not to mention it's also relatively slow, single target and occasionally can rebound on you due to... love or some shit?

Meanwhile let me present the gucci glock:

Doesn't matter how throwaway the references are, this is the canon she defined.

Canon and lore matter, but only sometimes.

Sorry, I just don't like this argument of "it's made up anyway". It's basically, "anything is fine, so long as I'm fine with it. now shut up about the things you aren't fine with because I just want to play the game".

I think that if the game had Harry Potter suddenly becoming a Nazi and raping Hermione while shouting select passages from Mein Kampf, you'd probably say that there have been alterations to his character that aren't in line with the books or the setting. And wouldn't buy me saying "it's just a silly kids book anyway who cares teehee".

I'd say, wow, sounds like NEG started writing fan fiction to fap to at night. What a weirdo.

My copey headcannon is that it's rather invoking the power of death itself, instead of just killing someone with force. You could still kill someone with winshartium lesbiosa if you really want to, nothing's stopping you.

unfortunately i doubt rowling could think of complicated ideas like that. should spells that aren't specifically intended to create projectiles be projectiles, anyway? that's some video game sheeeit

 

[Dadd]

Spells in Harry Potter are mainly plot devices. They tend to translate poorly to RPGs in terms of tactical use.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Clearly, she doesn't think her magic through. She already broke her entire setting by making time travel not only possible, but so easy a child could do it.
