If you are a Hogwarts fan, you're going to love the game just from the extensiveness of the world. It seems every room, hallway and toilet of Hogwarts is accessible with a lot of Hogsmeade as well. The map is ginormous and helps flesh out the magical world nicely. Because it's a sandbox, you can actually walk the entire length and width of the map (but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a lot of time to kill).

The 2nd map (the expansion you get to only after getting to a certain part) seems more like an afterthought. Yes, there are things to do, see and accomplish there and the story has events there, but compared to the amount of activity in and around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, a lot of that space just feels wasted.

Aside from Mary Sue Tranny, the story itself is fun and immersive with lots of variety in tests and things to do which aren't the main questline. I would have liked a little more variety in eye-wear and wouldn't mind a big ol' DLC, but even with that said, the game is well worth the price, imho.

Appreciate the info!

I played for around 9 hours this weekend and spent most of the time just running around figuring out puzzles and whatnot, while ignoring main missions and side quests

However, I did make it to Hogsmeade and finished the initial quest there of grabbing supplies.

Thank god for the transmog feature. I picked up so many random pieces of gear in my first 9 hours and I think almost all of it is butt ugly :lol

But yeah, it has been very addicting so far. Decided to go with Slytherin, and I'll just watch a walkthrough of the unique Hufflepuff quest. :

I'm still at it and really do love playing this game. Just last night I collected my last Daedalus Key & completed the House Token quest. My current hang up is defeating the Ranrok dragon. Holy hell, that's annoying. Even more so that it requires only Level 24 and I'm at 35.

I was the opposite I was so overleveled by the endgame everything was cake. I spent too much time finding pages and clearing bandit camps that I didn’t even expand the room of requirement until I was close to 30. Then I went shiny hunting because my kids loved catching and breeding animals although that led to some interesting conversations.

We kind of have a lull until Claire Obscure at least for me since I’m not a monster hunter person and KCD2 is a game I can only play in spurts. Might play through this again reading through the thread how excited we all were. Better times

I made it about 10 hours. But, to be fair I was never a big Harry Potter guy, but I let the board hype me up enough to get it anyway

The best part is the castle. If you’re not a fan of the world, it’s not going to hit in quite the same way.

How am I personally not letting it be so? I’m genuinely asking your opinion as I’ve said before you’re one of the posters here I respect the most and I’d like to change that if I can

I feel I’ve been a lot better since I came back from my break. Still want your advice sir

Wasn't an indictment of you or your posting at all, at least not specifically. I interpreted your post in the vein of "it was better before all the woke game discussion", so I was saying, tongue in cheek, that we could stop discussing how fricking woke everything is all the time and things would return to normal

Well I would posit to you even in this very thread there’s politics just people cheering it own since that boycott failed so hard.

I would also posit that when they stop trying to make literally everything from the west “woke” to some degree (the East is saving us) I’d love to never bring it up again and let the market run its course. But I think we both know the outcome would be.

But I asked your advice and I’ll take it. Stop talking about woke as much. I can’t promise to stop completely lol but il try

All good, mate. And you guys can obviously discuss whatever you want. I'm just not into it. I doubt anyone has noticed, but I don't think I've posted on that 20 page black samurai thread once

Thanks for your wise reply as usual from you! I know there’s things we don’t agree on but me and you are proof you don’t have to be a sicboy. That’s a choice
