Mine's a black swan. If I recall correctly from back in the day, the patronus assignment was utterly random

My tin foil hat or reasoning behind this no using patronus is that they will be used but once as we have seen dementors. Id say its likely its used once as a gimmick either a generic say unicorn, maybe an interactive cut scene, or just a full on cut scene.

Further a big reason i deduce its absence is that a majority and very large amount of fights all game will be person on person. So no need for a spell you can use for one thing literally and demeentors will be a one off set piece or maybe a boss. not types of mobs

Kinda upset no patrounous in game. Guess there’s no use. But still should be able to spawn it and have it walk with me


Hopefully in the sequel they'll make Dementors a big part so we can Expecto Patronum a mother fricker or maybe use the Patronus in unique ways like in the books they carried messages. Maybe they can put a unique twist on that as well.

I totally cheated back when I did my Pottermore and got a hippogriff. It's the only thing I cheated on but I def didn't want to get a fricking salamander or a fricking mouse for a Patronus

Josh just confirmation i did it all correct:

Did all the sorting patronus wand crap
Then made a WB games account
Linked both accounts merged to my PS5 streamlining it all
Back to main page and confirmation All right?


Their own faq says this is last step

quote:

Launch Hogwarts Legacy and after the introduction sequence, check the cosmetic options for the appearance of your Hogwarts student. You will also have seen a prompt just after the title screen informing you of what cosmetic rewards you obtained.

It is all out there the dark arts arena is most likely going to come launch day aa a practice area, challenges for rewards, etc, It totally screams asset tossed into preorder already made for big 30$ dlc in 6 months brining pvp and a story reason with it,

Most other is all cosmetic except only PS5 preorder deluxe edition users will get to be able to make the literal potion of liquid luck lol

Oh and theirs an additonal hogsmeade quest you get. Consensus is its something with the shrieking shack

Looks like you're good. I'm not linking it to my Steam account, so I'm assuming I'm going to get a prompt to log into WB when I first boot up the game, not dissimilar to CDPR, Rockstar, etc, when you launch their newer games.

But ultimately, you should get confirmation in game. If you don't see it, we'll troubleshoot it. But it's not a "if you don't have it when you first boot up, it's gone" type thing. Nothing to stress over.

Yeah, I'm not happy about this, and if it starts becoming the norm in gaming, I could see consumers getting extremely fricking salty about it.

Just the robes and the mask. In fairness, it was just supposed to be a nod to long time HP fans, not necessarily a list of hoops worth jumping through for the reward

I agree. My stance on this is if youre going to sell a game on a console or pc launcher and want to do rewards these must be made mandatory

1)Absolutely nothing console. platform, means of access exclusive
2)Should be almost always completely just cosmetics, however, if you wanna offer in game loot or whatever, the player must have means of obtaining it that would be considered reasonable

I'm curious to see in game whether clothing, wands, etc. have stats or are just purely cosmetic. Unless I just missed it, every time that question was asked in any of the recent AMAs, those questions were always sidestepped, even if other parts of the question were answered.

ETA: Which makes me think they might be purely cosmetic.

Watch the 12 min video i posted last page i think he might have something in the slight ballpark of an answer for you

Edit: it just confirms wands can be customized but stops short of more than color but does add "theres a ton of customization in this game for both wands and attire" if that just means cosmetic idk

Yep, I've watched that video and a few others. Quick to answer that they are customizable, but always sidestepped questions about whether they had stats versus being purely cosmetic.

Via also claims game is easily a 100 hour game at a brisk pace; breakneck pacers can likely go 80. This is shipping into withcer 3 length and these are first run estimates. Someone who wants to be completionist could maybe hit 300 hours for all in first blind go.

Stat modding wands wouldnt make sense in game. I think the rpg game or progression will come from spells, upgrades to those spells , combo chains and the huge chain of how the spells change depends on when or if chained up, plus gsme items like invisibilty cloak or time turned or whatever
