    Anyone else agree the main plot should've revolved around Sebastian, his sister and dark magic?
    The Goblin rebellion plot feels completely hamfisted in comparison

      Not particarly impressed with the story, I just skip all of it. Sebastian stuff is decent though.

      IMO they played it too safe with the game. Everything is well made, puzzles are not skyrim-tier moronic but it's a generic product in the end.

      >be 5th grader
      >kill 100 dark wizards, beasts and goblinos per hour
      >follow quest marker and save the world

      It should've been much more focused on mystery of the castle, sneaking around etc. Like this it's just shallow that keeps you satisfied because someone calculated the right amount of stimulus at each point.

        The sebastian plot is probably the closest to what the story should have been, but it never would have worked for a AAA title like this. The main story needs to have the potential to be visually stunning, which didn't really work for the sebastian plot.

        The battle system was fun, at least before your character becomes OP.
        They really screwed with the story and gameplay by making your character too powerful and capable too early in the game. There was little sense of progression. You're basically operating at full capacity after about 20 minutes of gameplay, and then repeating the same stuff for 10-12 hours. They should have controlled your characters power better, given you flight later in the game, and made it more difficult to leave the castle/hogsmeade early in the game (putting more focus on story in the stunningly-designed castle). More variety in the enemies would have also been nice.

      no, it was a great side quest. the goblin rebellion and all the nonsense about ancient magic had some awkward bits and characters not even 1/4th as compelling as Sebastian & Anne, but it also had incredible parts like the fairy tale quest and Ranrok's bossfight.

      It was good while it lasted and I'd play a DLC is they make one. But it's not a TES-grade game, sure, which is sad, because the game has good art and some good writing as well.

      Yeah, the goblin rebellion and "ancient magic" stuff wasn't too good. Even gameplay-wise the blue murder magic is a shitty addition that just helps you spend less time in combat.

      I dunno, I did think it was dumb you couldn't cure her after you beat the final boss though. They give you the option to choose between destroying the ancient magic repository or say you're going to use it, but then nothing ever comes from it. It's a completely pointless decision. Even if she still tells Sebastian to frick off for killing their uncle you should've at least been able to remove the curse from her before sending her on her way, giving some sort of happier resolution to that whole story

        I didn't necessarily like that in the end her curse is dismissed as no big deal and she can live on her own without her father and brother, because initially it seemed that she was dying. I'm now convinced that originally the curse made her mute ("children should be seen but not heard"), but this was censored because of "ableism" or something.

    I did. Yes, it had boring quest design. Yes, the enemies were brain dead and piss easy (even or hard) after the early levels. Yes, it had boring collectibles to paddle for time. But I did have fun. It made me feel comfy and cozy like no other game since, I don't know, maybe Oblivion? Will probably play it again at some point in the future.

            why would you? I only reassign in RoR for conjuration spells, or rarely in the open world switch out Lumos for some other utility spell (Capture beasts, reparo, etc) when the need arises.

              I think devs want you to switch between pages mid-combat, but it's true that in practice there's still the main page and what spells you put there depend on the enemy.

              Then you're playing like an idiot

              I keep one 1.5 wheels occupied for room of need (animal stuff, conjuration etc.) as I go back every few hours.

              One wheel is for offensive speels (red) aka brute force for combat. Another is mixed with color spells to brake guard/world puzzles.

              Either way however I assamble it I must do it again for every 3rd encounter/puzzle. It gets tiresome.

              I would appreciate more if you could cast spells from menus and had "last spell" redo, that would make it easy to solve puzzles without rearranging all the time.

                you're dumb. you only need 3 slots for RoR. for animals, only one.
                you can easily switch those when you're in the RoR. in the open world those slots are uselss and wasted, so keep them for combat spells.

                I'm in phase when I'm upgrading gear and collecting beasts right now.

                So I need:
                >Feed
                >Pet
                >Catching bag
                >Arresto Momentum (to assist in catching)

                Arguably you could remove Feed but the feeder doesn't do it's job often for whatever reason.

                So eat shit.

                Levio is better for catching beasts. Arresto Momentum doesn't last as long, and they recover from ragdoll faster.

                Anonymous

                I reiterate; you're dumb.

                as I said earlier, pet is only useable once you're in the vivarium, you can't use it outside in the world.

                Feed is useless if you conjure a beast feeder, the beasts will feed on their own.
                Catching bag is useful only when collecting beasts, which is like a drop in the ocean of the open world gameplay.
                Arresto momentum is a combat spell, and if you don't even like it as a combat spell you can simply use glacio which works much better than Arresto Momentum.

                Christ dude, get some better critique of the game. I have 150 hours on it and the spell slots were a minor nuisance at best. I have much more serious criticism of this game than that.

      Unpopular opinion, but I hated the castle exactly because it's made of useless halls and galleries with a few classrooms and places of interest stuffed in random spots. No wonder devs then inserted fast travel points every 50 meters because otherwise the game would be unplayable.

    There were some good things in it. It looked wonderful and the design of Hogwarts itself is great.
    This not being a school sim is such a large blunder so overall, no I didn't have fun most of the time. Combat is also pretty bad which took away from the experience.

    Maybe next time we'll get a school sim in Harry Potter. Don't know how popular it might be, because actual sim games are a niche but it's HP so it might be real popular with normalgays.

    As my introduction to HP it was okay you shouldn't have to unlock codex files to learn who's who and what's what, i hate how hand holdy it is, they use the school setting to make the the game 95% tutorials, but narratively I liked how nearly every function of the game had a in story reason to exist like the main menu, and it has the best cosmetic system in any game ever and should be the bare minimum standard going forward in all games.

    It's a good game that set out to do what every HP wanted from a video game. The characters where good, the story was good. The locations, art and music where god teir. Gameplay was simple and on the easy side but it felt fun and impactful. It wasn't masterpiece but to say it was shit you really have to be a fricking idiot or a salty troon. I really hope that 2 has multiplayer and more RPG elements. I think they have a pretty good formula to make a soft MMO like Borderlands and The Division.

    All kino. So why on earth was the majority of the game so repetitive? That entire southern area you had to go through a cave to get to felt more like s chore than somewhere to explore.

    Also there was like 3 total secrets not revealed and solved by revelio. Would have been way cooler to have some more complicated puzzles and secret passages you found with some creativity.
