re: Hogwarts Legacy Thread: No spoilers allowed until wide launch for alll

Based on the teasers from a few months ago, I would rank my favorite common rooms as Ravenclaw, with Hufflepuff close behind. Big gap. Gryffindor. Big gap. Slytherin.

They must have had a super fricking lose embargbo on much past footage we already know in the ether the total spell numbers, how adva kadarva is handlded, and soooo much more. I wont post here but its alllll out there this game looks fricking GOOD ON PS5

Disclaimer: the bits below come from someone who I trust as a truly non shill and independent reviewer doing YouTube and other media who had early access.

One tidbit; different spells could have various offshoot actions or purposes based on their placement in combos with other spells creating a chain reaction on each combo spell attack

Finally if you wish to see how Adva will be integrated read below i will put spacing spoilers:
















It WILL be usable in certain fights only where it is scripted into your loadout and only if you idk "qualify" or however they will do it into the darkness. It will auto slot as one of your 4 offensive spells but have an extremely long massive coool down on it so its not a i win button, further its most use will be cut scene driven. The other two banned curses though WILL BE possible to get to a point in your path they are load out spells

I wish my laptop could handle this. It’s 7 years old though. The last console I owned was an Xbox 360.

The min specs aren't terrible, but yeah, I think a seven year old laptop would likely struggle to the point that the gameplay experience wouldn't be enjoyable.

12 min youtube vid linked it is a must watch this game is going to slap so fricking hard jesus. list of topics included under link. Combat is being compared to Soulslikes by official channels involved in making and marketing the game not some joe.

It was in reference to the one boss the early accesor got to face and it took him a full hour. That is def fromsoft vibes lol. I plan to play at max difficult but there are settings for lower. I think the boss difficulty and possibly some of fromsoft dna in normal combat is all the souls you will find. It is a Witcher 3 style story game not a Dark Souls one

Not shitting on the game at all, pumped for it and think it will be awesome but This comparison is getting so tired. Everything has to be “souls like” nowadays

---

I think my feelings on that would be based on how, exactly, we are defining "souls-like". When I use the term, like I did recently discussing Kena: Bridge of Spirits, I'm simply referring to a combat system that punishes attack mashing, requires dodging/parrying, and rewards being perceptive to the unique qualities of your opponent. And in the context of being a squishy little child-mage, I think that style of combat makes the most sense.

Hopefully they don't frick it up

I tried setting up my potter more shite for ease and got a wand with unicorn hair cool i though. Then read the description saying one of it not hardest to turn to the dark side. Deleted account immediately and will be going all this in game in autistic detail

Mistake. The game doesn't require you to keep your assigned house or wand. You're free to choose whatever you want. But you get some minor in game perks for importing the account, regardless.

ETA: One of the perks as you likely know is a robe set that's house dependent. So, if you didn't like your house assignment, you might want to redo that. But don't worry about the wand.

Having poured over whats been put out so far all I know what we have been told about what you asked is

1) The common rooms are all supremely dif and Ravenclaw which ill be in this best

2) They will of course all have the same main story but could be deviations a la witcher 3 ( Kill radovid or no, make Ciri empress or not)

3) This is speculation but i imagine they will have each their own types of actives and things to do probably being allowed to learn things from other houses by taking on their side quest. Think something like Fall out New vegas and factions but you start in a fantasy faction too.
