Anybody post this yet? Watching now since I appreciate ACG.

Also you start as a fifth year?



Sounds like if you're into HP, this would be your shit.

I don't really care unless there is actually non-cartoonish evil route. Then I'll spend some money on this.

Or gun mod.

Is there a single article on the entire internet that praises the game for adding a troon? Western devs are so fucking out of touch.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate had a female-to-male transvestite (no surgery in those benighted times) and that was set in the 1860's. HogLeg is a johnny-come-lately.

Watched a bit of a gameplay video(will only buy after denuvo is removed at massive discount). Honestly, the story seems fanfic tier. Like, the charname is an special wizard which has access to an ancient form of magic and joins in the magic school at the 5th year, every teacher threats him like an special snowflake....

Where is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way when we need her to go back in time and seduce the goblins???

Familiarized myself with the reviews. I'm very tired of the modern video review style, full of purple prose, unfocused, without an on-point structure that you'd expect from a conversation with someone thoughtful. I feel like they should try to model those more on 1 on 1 conversations, simply because there's a tendency that whenever an average writer picks up a pen, he feels like he needs to wander off, include gross filler, word games and such, and in the end its just bad prose that flows unnaturally. Some of these 300k+ views channels somehow still have rash mannerisms, unpleasant newbie voices, after years of making videos...

Due to how the reviews are not on point, it took me some time to figure out what the game structure is like. Its Assassins Creed style level locked open world, with multiple linear questlines. People who were following the game probably already knew that, but if you did not, then you wont get that from the reviews. Its kind of a shame, I was counting on some simulation-like elements, like Persona maybe, but not time-locked. A bit of wasted potential here. Beyond that the game is solid, they say. I really wonder how replayable it is. You cannot unlock all the abilities in a single run, but IGN says that there's little potential for making builds. So to me, the question is: how significant is the house choice, and whether there are significant branching paths or consequences. If there aren't, I'll be rather disappointed.
