Do I have to redo my quiz if I want to play Slytherin first assuming I do the linking for the rewards? Someone touched on it but didn’t seem sure. And yes you can retake it - just delete account and sign up again.


You can absolutely change your house from what the quiz selects for you. With that said, it seems as though the robe reward you get is linked to your quiz house, not your chosen house, so if that matters to you, you would likely need to retake the quiz.

But with that said, I’m just reading the tea leaves in that last bit. Could be incorrect.

Idk man. They also get a bad rep. Outside of Harry and Hermione, probably one of the strongest, most popular students in the entire HP books was Cedric before he died. He was in Hufflepuff. They seem chill AF and probably throw the best parties since they’re right next to the damn kitchens


And you just know that they grow and smoke the finest green

Has anybody found the solution during the banking goblin quest? The narrator keeps telling me to build camps but it says my party unity isn’t high enough

Something I’m going to prioritize and something I think was really smart by the devs was including the white smoke disappearing spell that’s prominent in the movies into the game as an alternate and more powerful dodge. I think most fans assumed this was a kind of apparition but it doesn’t appear that’s the case. Apparition seemed entirely different, especially in the other movies.

It did seem a bit silly to be dodging and rolling around as a wizard so not including apparition there had to be a “cooler way to dodge”. In game, I think it’s called Swift. I wonder if that’s something they took liberty with or if they asked Rowling the difference between the white smokey apparition that the Order use and the other kind that’s more traditional that’s in Fantastic Beasts. I do wonder if an advanced skill in a sequel in dueling would be them including apparition. It features prominently in the duels in Fantastic Beasts

I def need to adjust my sensitivity. Camera movement is hella slow for me


But it’s damn fun so far. The combat is fantastic. Only thing I can complain about is sometimes the character models while in scene seem off. I suppose it was because a lot of the game was developed during covid and they had restrictions. Other than that, the story is solid. Love the mystery. Combat is *chefs kiss.

PS5 gets a special potion and shop that won’t be available for others until like a year later

Turn camera sensitivity all the way up and camera acceleration all the way down. Feels a lot better

This is Avalanche’s first big game isn’t it? They’ve got a bright future ahead

Really enjoying it.

I played 4+ hours.
Game looks good. Had two character bugs they were during cutscenes though. Didn’t bother me.
This is my first time playing a non racing game on my big tv and some of the camera feels weird but I’m sure I can tweak it. Navigating some staircases in Hogwarts gets annoying but wow hogwarts is awesome. Found a girls bathroom that had a stall where someone was brewing a potion(poly juice????)
I need to leave hogwarts and figure out how to hold more than 20 items.
I do like how you can select an item for its bonus but then change the appearance to whatever you want.
Combat is fun. Playing on hardest and some things are challenging and I die. But after a death or two I figure out the battle. Still curious how combat will work once I learn more spells.

Im excited to see what else the map has to offer.

I’m only about an hour and a half in. Just now finished the first Charms and DADA lessons. I’m calling it for the night.

Positives:

- love the combat and spells
- story has me intrigued so far
- Hogwarts is great-so much to do

Negatives:

- outside of the main cinematics, the character models and the voice acting seems off while they’re talking sometimes for some reason. I think it’s because they did a large portion of that virtually because of Covid. Also could be because Avalanche just isn’t used to that side of things yet.

- small gripe that some people won’t care about but I wish we didn’t have to name the character and that they had their own name. Takes me out of the story and the world when no one calls us by a name other than “new student.” Some people won’t give a shite about that though. Still, it doesn’t give me the full immersion.

I think the story is great so far and makes me so much more disappointed at fantastic beast

I changes to performance and swear the mouth syncing fixed.

I just played forza horizon 5 and they say your name in the game!

It should be standard. If you have to name your character the NPCs should b able to say your name.

Agreed. It’s a small thing but adds so, so much. Maybe they’ll fix that in the 2nd game. I have no doubt they’ll do a second one. A lot of the complaints myself and others have are def very fixable.


I actually wouldn’t mind the second game taking place a few years into the future with new characters.
