re: Hogwarts legacy early access members thread

I'm not that far in and trying not to spoil myself for plot so I honestly did not read the thread so if this was answered already, my apologies - but can someone help me understand what's going on with all this gear I'm picking up out of chests etc.
This is like some World of Warcraft new expansion shite where I can either look like I go to Hogwarts or I can look like I was yeeted through a flea market and I can't tell if the bonuses to stats is really worth all that or not.

Took me awhile to figure out that most of the "gear" is just cosmetic skins that you pick up/unlock. If you hover over equipped items in the appearance screen it gives you an option to change the appearance.
Not sure if that helps, but I'm pretty much just throwing on anything that is a stat boost for now and changing a few skins.

It's not as intuitive as it could be.
There are two aspects to this: the stats you can get from gear and the look of the gear. In other words, if you like the look of a lower-level item, you can keep it while getting the benefits from the higher-level gear.
In your Gear section, you'll notice the categories are represented by icons which look like cards (headwear, robe, etc). If you click on the card, you can change which item you are wearing/getting bonuses from. BUT... if you just hover over the card then hit the F key (PC) instead of clicking on the card (I think, it says it on the card when you just hover your selector over the category card) it will bring up a different menu which allows you to pick the visuals of the items you've collected (this will allow you to tailor your look independent of the item you're wearing due for stats).

Yeah, that's a better explanation. If you played any of the Assassin's Creed games, it's a lot like that. Get the stat boosts from upgraded gear, but keep the cosmetic look of other stuff if you like.

That helps a lot - I was REALLY hoping I was just missing the option to change the skin, because some of these items granted fairly decent bonuses when I got far enough into the game to learn about them, but I was not going to run around the castle looking like Luna Lovegood's trash heap cousin.
ETA: Got it working on PS5 (Square button when hovering over on main gear menu after gear is selected). THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!

I've only messed around with that a little. Do you know if you have to keep the transmog item in your inventory to be able to use its appearance, or can you sell/delete it once you've acquired it?
Game is gorgeous. I got to Hogsmead last night and ran through that. Boy the game is meaty. I had not realized how much RAM it uses. Overall still ran pretty well. Going to tweak some graphics settings tonight and try and take some cpu strain off, but overall running on max settings it played great.

Are you talking about transmogrified items? I haven't made it to that class yet but if I understand the question correctly, it shouldn't matter.
I haven't gone to Hogsmeade yet (that will be tonight), and I'll be selling stuff there (full inventory gives me the sads) so I'll find out for sure then. BUT... if this game follows others then once you unlock a style then you keep it regardless of if you still have the item any longer or not.
Styles are usually handled like this: there is a database in the game listing all the styles, it's a simple binary system where something like "1 = has the style; 0 = does not have the style" (that's not actual computer language, but it gives you an idea). When you get an item with that style (like "Wire Framed Glasses", for example), the system changes the marker for that style item from 0 to 1.

You keep everything you ever picked up in transmog. Apparently you should sell all your gear that you have outleveled because inventory space is limited and money is hard to come by according to people that have made it further than me.

that shite was and is embarrassing. It's like they had the voice actor record their lines over the phone and didn't tell him what he was supposed to be voice acting.
Great game though.
Never read a single Harry Potter book and only sat through the very first movie and only bits of the 2nd and I am pleasantly surprised and enjoying it a lot.
If you are a fan, the game is probably a total joy to play. Even a casual observer like me can tell there is a lot of attention to detail going on and it was made with love. It's great and separates it from the usual paint by numbers shlock.
Sorted into Slytherin first try. I thought they were supposed to be the "bad guy house" but right off the bat everyone is cool. Everyone is posh and confident so maybe that's supposed to be bad? Idk. Haven't got far so haven't interacted with the other houses yet.
This game will 10000% get a sequel and I hope we can continue to play as the same character but older.
My only real complaint is that there's not much in the way of dialogue options in the protagonist is a generic good guy. Some options for being a jokester or being a cocky smartass would be nice.
Oh and the dragons in the intro were VERY kiddy and not threatening at all but that's due to the setting I'm sure.

At level 13 and just now unlocked flight via the broom and Room of Requirement. Loving some of the side missions that strike that perfect balance of being somewhat challenging but NOT time consuming. Flying around the map just takes the game to a whole other level for me.
Have to be level 16 before you get the Unforgivable Curses. But I’m having fun with the other spells as well. The more shite you get, the easier it is for me personally. Though, locking on to different targets should be easier…

It has been a long time since I've read the books or watched the movies....but I think everyone has normal people in their houses. It's just some jackasses can kinda play up the name/attitude of their house.
If I recall correctly, Harry Potter should have been in the Slytherin house but he convinced the sorting hat to put him into Gryffindor.
Yall are making me really interested in getting this game though. This takes place far before Tom Riddle/Potter, correct? Do they give a year?

Well, partly because he had part of Voldemort's soul in him
But yes, there are no good and bad houses. All of them have had some awful people and great people. Merlin was a Slytherin afterall. It is just that slytherin does have a very troubled history with the pure blood ideology, which leads to a lot of witches and wizards that believe in that ideology.

I really enjoyed what I played of it last night, and I basically did nothing but running around and exploring. It takes place in 1890 during the 4th Goblin rebellion apparently.

Downvoting tranny. Why are you mad?

This is part of the flaw in the HP books. Everything is from Harry’s perspective and at an early age he’s influenced by both Ron, Hagrid and Draco into believing all Slytherins are either psychotic and evil (Snape, Voldy) or arrogant bullies (Draco, Crabbe and Goyle). It also doesn’t help that there are only two good characters from that house (Snape, Slughorn) and pretty much every single fricking good character was in Gryffindor. The only good characters that weren’t complete snobs, weirdo fricks or pieces of shite that weren’t in Gryffindor were Tonks and Cedric and maybe Luna.
Harry doesn’t really change his mind until the final chapter in the books when he lets his son know it’s ok if he’s sorted into Slytherin
and it was only because Snape was a badass and saved Harry’s arse AGAIN. Slytherins’ value ambition, something Harry never ever had. His whole attitude the whole series is that he just wants to be normal. He doesn’t work hard unless his life depends on it. He hates the actual school aspect of Hogwarts, never studies or does homework and doesn’t really value intelligence. Slytherins would hate to be normal. They want to be the best.

Exactly. There isn't a ton of difference between Ravenclaw and Slytherin. The key difference is the ambition of Slytherin is more geared to gaining power and influence whereas Ravenclaw is built around knowledge and academic success. Both will do whatever it takes to achieve those ends.

Yea i spent a bunch of time just exploring. After a while I finally just started focusing on the story so I could get my personal wand. Now back to exploring and side quests
This game is going to go just like Witcher 3 did. I am going to be a god before getting into any of the real story
Speaking of which, what did everyone go with for their wand?
I went Elder Wood - 14.5" - Phoenix Core - Hard Flexibility - with the Natural style with the grey color.
