Wish I Knew THIS Before Choosing My House in Hogwarts Legacy

[@eduardo7677]

As a Ravenclaw I really enjoyed the banter with Sebastian as we explored catacombs. The witty back and forth, snapping teases at each other was one of the truest "friendship" moments the game had to offer. " You're not a bad chap'...for a Slytherin" / "For a Ravenclaw you have yet much to learn".

[@BenjaminSnow]

Oh I need to do a Ravenclaw playthrough

[@breonabaughman7989]

​@@BenjaminSnow It's really fun being a raven claw

[@greencat3800]

Played the game as a Slytherin. And throughout that quest, the MC goes kinda like: I don’t understand what’s with Gryffindors with their adventures! We Slytherins can be loads of fun! And then Sebastian will be all like: We are the most fun! It was a funny interaction 😂

[@nynkewy]

Love the bickering! In Hufflepuff its like " You're not a bad chap'...for a Slytherin" ''Ahh, there's that Hufflepuff loyalty you're so well-known for.''

[@QuiteSpiffing]

I liked the banter as a Gryffindor, because it was a nod to the Gryffindor Slytherin house rivalry that was prevalent in the books but never appeared in the game. "You're not a bad chap, for a Slytherin." -"You Gryffindors don't have a monopoly on bravery, you know?"

[@siyeezy1]

I think thematically Slytherin makes the most sense to the story since Sebastian would be the first student you meet, and his story is by far the deepest quest line that honestly feels better than even the main story

[@BenjaminSnow]

Sebastian is my favorite character! I’m gonna be replaying as a Slytherin just to be with my bud 😆

[@richjc7004]

Sooo true, I was so excited whenever a sebastian mission popped up and I was so bored in the main missions

[@fatalrob0t]

Eh... I'm not so sure about that. Playing the game as a gryffindor I started off disliking sebastian because he was arrogant. And when I was forced to interact with him, he started to slowly grow on me until the minute he sacrificed himself for my sake. Suddenly, all I cared about was making certain he was alright. It's perfect enemies to friends or enemies to lovers kind of fare. I love that kind if thing.

For me, more than visiting Azkaban (which is honestly pretty quick but interesting anyway), I particularly liked how Hufflepuff's quest felt more like a true ending. It's the only version of the story in which Jackdaw discovers about Anne's fate, and the only one in which she's proven innocent.

[@BenjaminSnow]

Definitely! The in the rest of the houses there were mostly brief parts of Jackdaw’s past

Jackdaw's quest was quite interesting from each House perspectives, as it basically challenges your values. Your daring nature for Gryffindor.

(Negotiating with an elf for favors) Your sense of justice for Hufflepuff. (Bringing justice to a broken woman)

[@albinorabe9409]

The puzzle was way too obvious - I wish they would have made it more challenging for Ravenclaws to figure something out. Like the potion riddle in the first book for example, where you actually have to think not just collect some statues in a room

[@vnom84]

Hufflepuff got the objectively best version of this quest, but I’m going to maintain Slytherin is the best house in the game simply because it make’s Sebastian’s plot much deeper. The friendship between you, Ominis, and Sebastian feels a lot more genuine when you’re all in the same house and seeing the group fall apart hits home more. It’s probably the best questline in the game because it’s essentially “what if you had a core trio like in HP but Ron Weasley slowly turned evil?”

[@tulips7465]

So true. And I played a female wizard at that. It feels like harry potter trio but Slytherin. Haha

[@Sir_Uncle_Ned]

I appreciate how this storyline really hammers home that the road to Askaban is paved with good intentions. I was onboard at first, but once I saw Sebastian using Imperio, I knew it had gone too far. In my Slytherin playthrough, I'm going to be exploring the darker side. Power at all costs.

For anyone that's upset about Azkaban being a Hufflepuff inclusive and is thinking about playing Hufflepuff only for this reason - You're inside of Azkaban for maybe 2-3min before you talk to a old lady in there and that's it.

From a story perspective, I liked Gryffindor’s quest because it made sense. But it would’ve been cool if all the Houses got their own special location to visit that isn’t revisitable.

One additional thing to consider for follow on playthroughs is that witches get to see the entire common rooms while wizards do not. The Gryffindor common room is fairly movie accurate, but for the wizards is incredibly small compared to the other common rooms until you realize you can't go to the witches section, and there are lootable chests in that area. So just something to consider for a second playthrough.

[@BenjaminSnow]

Huh! That’s good to know! 🤔

[@brahma_mama8475]

This is because, if you remember from the books, witches could go into the wizards’ room while they couldn’t go into the witches’ room, because, according to the founders of Hogwarts, witches are more trustworthy. It’s cool that this detail is in there.

[@Wongatello]

@@brahma_mama8475 Oh I absolutely remember that from the books. I just thought I'd point it out since it looks like most players in the game hadn't considered it. This way for a second playthrough they can experience their full common room if they picked male for their first playthrough.

[@WhovianRoxas]

I've played up to at least the Map Room as all four houses (Ravenclaw is my main playthrough and the only one I've 100%). It was really neat seeing the different angles of this quest told from the four perspectives. I liked all of the quests with them ranging from good to great. I'd rank them as follows: 4. Ollivander's Legacy (Ravenclaw). While I am disappointed that I have to put my house's quest at the bottom, I only do so because it is the shortest and least complex of the four. You only solve one fun little puzzle at the Owlery and it's over. But it does have some nice details about Ollivander's family and the scene with Jackdaw at the Owlery is pretty fun. 3. Scrope's Last Hope (Slytherin). I put this at the third because, like with the Ravenclaw quest, it is relatively simple. But it's a little higher due to getting some more interactions with Scrope, learning more about the Black family, being able to explore the hidden grotto, and the fun reference to the Hogwarts giant squid. 2. The Hunt for the Missing Pages (Gryffindor). This quest was surprisingly beefy in size (pun intended). You get lots of time with Nearly Headless Nick, you get to explore the kitchens and talk to the house elves there, and you get to meet and play a game with the Headless Hunt. 1. Prisoner of Love (Hufflepuff). It's crazy just how good this quest is. You get some more worldbuilding of the wizarding world and the Diggory family, you involve yourself with a very interesting and tragic murder mystery plot, you get to visit Azkaban prison, you get to see Dementors and the Patronus Charm, and you have a really tragically creepy scene of talking to Anne. It's a dark and complex quest and, clearly, was my overall favorite of the four.

I also had a very confusing conversation with my friend about a quest 🤣 first I was like what are you talking about?? You go to Azkaban girl!

[@mikeanthony3300]

Honestly, I just picked Hufflepuff simply because I can easily relate to all the traits mentioned in it. As for the other houses, not even close. Genuinely surprised Hufflepuff isn't widely praised...granted, I know next to nothing about Harry Potter aside from a few memories of the films.

[@BenjaminSnow]

Yeah, Hufflepuff is the underdog 🤷🏻‍♂️ though we get a cool ass quest!

[@xtinafusco]

In one of the books, the sorting hat sings that Hufflepuff 'took the rest' of students who weren't picked for the other houses, so it kinda became known as the "nothing special" house. But agreed, Hufflepuff is awesome!

[@magicalme_lissa]

I loved the Gryffindor version! Interacting with the house elves in the kitchen, seeing them doing the prep work, hanging out with Nick and participating in the headless hunt was awesome! I’ve already played the other houses and this was the first time I noticed they were house specific quests.

[@BenjaminSnow]

@@magicalme_lissa I love the kitchens!

[@DarthTrethon]

I've seen all the house quests because I had to, can't get the platinum without getting to the map chamber with every house and therefore experiencing all of this. In the grand scheme of things none of this really matters much so you might as well just play the house you liked most before the game. The in game difference is like 2 minutes of extra dialogue with some characters, a 5-10 minute quest, and the house quarters that you will likely spend less than 10 minutes in throughout the entire game as almost nothing happens there and your characters real personal space where you spend a lot more time will be the room of requirement. The difference the house makes is incredibly minimal, less than 30 minutes of house exclusive content in the context of a 80-100 hour game.

[@DailyShit.]

And that's a sad thing. I know they could not but they basically skipped the house part. It does not matter at all. There is nothing to do in the houses or for the house or with the house. No points, no major dialouge or story. No friends you can only make this way. Story even makes less sense with some houses tbh. Even in classes (wich are mostly mute cutscenes, wtf) there are always the same kids. Hope they flesh that RPG part out more in a sequel because it was my main drive for the game and I had to get used to it being 80% other stuff and 20% actually Hogwarts.

[@LoreMiuthos]

If I recall correctly Apollonia and Richard might have been an item, (these this quest where you follow candles to a picnic in the forbidden forest, it's Addressed to Apollonia and signed with R (Richard) However I think they split because I remember a dialogue option (in Ravenclaw route I believe is where I heard it) where Richard says that Apollonia's heart had grown cold. So I think she lost interest in him. So he moved on to the next girl, who was Anne. Not 100% sure if she is a muggleborn but it would make sense that Apollonia would frame Anne because she is one, and because she (Apollonia) would probably be the next suspect.

[@HollowsDarkness]

I wish the houses had more quests that was house specific. I felt like it was a cop-out from creating a more unique game.

[@OpalFedora92]

I was sorted into Hufflepuff and went with it and discovered the difference when telling my sister *she's further in the game* where I was and she was confused since I went to Azkaban and she didn't for that quest

[@BenjaminSnow]

Had a similar conversation with my friend 😄

[@joshc5309]

Hufflepuffs may get to go to Azkaban, buy Slytherins get massively different dialog with some of the most important characters in the game, all of which are Slytherin.

[@bubblesblanche]

I would have LOVED if there was more house exclusive content! It would have made it so much more appealing to replay the game, if it had multiple quests that would play out differently or people you could only meet if you were in another house. Obviously that would take a lot of time to do and would be unfortunate for the people only wanting to play once, but I would love to experience the different aspects but it just (to me) doesn't feel like enough to warrant playing the whole game over 3 more times, which is also part of the steam achievements for the game.

[@kaitie_ren]

I feel like while you'll have a good time no matter which house you choose I feel like the story and side quests are geared towards a Slytherin or Hufflepuff in terms of the characters the story encourages you to interact with.

[@danilolima4794]

I got hufflepuff and was so amazed that I went into Azkaban. I had no idea it was my house excluse, besides the story there that is amazingly tragic and sad.

[@RaeBehrs]

@@BenjaminSnow I usually identify more with Gryffindor, but my husband said that I'm more of a Hufflepuff. 😅 I guess I'm not as brave as I thought I was (granted, I don't play a lot of combative games and was very flustered and failing in the into trying to figure it out. My husband had a good laugh at that! But I've definitely gotten an understanding of the controls and my nerves now), but at least my husband knows that I'm loyal! Anyway, the very Hobbiton style commonroom definitely put me over the edge. It is just spectacular!

[@bionicleboy6445]

I have chosen to be in Ravenclaw because I once took a test on a video to find in which house I am. And another surprising fact is that I value wisdom. And Ravenclaw is part of that.

I was honestly expecting there to be many more differences or at least larger/more significant ones between the houses. Glad there *are* some at all, though.

I didn't realize Azkaban is a Hufflepuff exclusive, it brings me a new sense of pride for my house!

[@phillip22722]

I wouldn't call 1 quest and a handful of different diaglogue options "replayability", but it's the closest thing this game has to variety between the 4 houses. Definitely worth playing up till that part of each of the houses anyways. At least for the achievements.

[@kclink1579]

[@darkones4370]

[@jordanswann346]

I’ve experienced the Ravenclaw version since I chose that house because I thought it went best with how my character acted through the storyline up until the sorting ceremony

[@t4p419]

I was surprised by the connection to Jackdaw's story too. I'm currently doing a 100% achievement run, and since each house has different achievement for discovering the Map Chamber, I pretty much have to play through all the houses which evidently require me to play Jackdaw's quest from 4 different narratives

[@JuniAku]

I’ve never seen any of the HP franchises other than some clips of Voldemort, but I gotta say, Hogwarts Legacy is a surprisingly fun game. I absolutely LOVE the combat. I’m on the last quest and I don’t wanna finish the game just yet.

[@InsanityVirus]

I have never been prouder to be a Hufflepuff, solely do to the fact that I got to visit Azkaban when the other houses didn't, and the fact that you get to see Jackdaw's quest line from a different point of view from the other houses.

I'm glad I'm not part of the Fandom this way and at least got to enjoy the game because I don't get what's so special about Azkaban

[@InsanityVirus]

@@XZ-III I think it's a bit more explained in the books than the movies, but either way, Azkaban is not so much connected to the fandom as it is just to the world as a whole, with it's mystery. It's the best & worst prison out there in the wizarding world. Almost no one ever gets out, rarely ever anyone sees what it's really like, and the dementors are a whole other force to be messed with. A lot of people who have read the books or watched the movies have wanted to get a personal look into Azkaban. It's basically that morbid curiosity

Stuck between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. I love the characters in Slytherin and the common room I also love snakes like a lot (even want one as a fellow pet someday) I love the entrance to the common room so much as it’s honestly the best, but I also love the common room for Ravenclaw but man snakes are awesome so are birds. Very hard choice and the fact Pottermore has me in as a Ravenclaw.

[@InsanityVirus]

I'd say Ravenclaw, if only solely because - as said in the video - Ravenclaws get their own personal patio. Other than a great view, you can also land on that patio if you're on your broom, because it leads into your common room! (Need to unlock the door to get in there, but still) Only Ravenclaws can land there, the other 3 houses can't, due to the common room connection!

Well for me all houses have unique and interesting stories although some prefer Hufflepuff for having an adventure in Azkaban I don't see much importance in the story each one contains but rather the interest and pride we feel for belonging to the house we have chosen. It's my opinion of course😅 All stories look intriguing but in my opinion our choice of home and family to which we will belong is what matters😊

In my opinion, just one quest difference doesn't mean replayability. It's nice, but that's all. And in Huffelpuff they should free Annie since the player found the corpse and couse od death

I think it's a bit weird how everyone is over Hufflepuff nowadays. I just went along what the hat chose for me, which was Hufflepuff.

i like ravenclaw due to jackdaw's quest not being locked behind the series of quests you have to do for the ghosts and instead only have to talk to Mr. Olivander and go to the owlry and solve a simple "puzzle" that not only is way faster, it also gives you a great view and plenty of gold.
