it's the first one for the studio to make this type of game They don't have the experience or know how of rockstar.

Morality system needs to be introduced

[@pilotsayshello1758]

Honestly this makes me more excited for a sequel. HL is an amazing proof of concept, now if they took a deeper dive into customization and NPC interaction it could damn well be perfect. Get the true points system, make classes actually have routines, give npc's routines, free form quests.. etc Imagine if you wanted to obtain a special skill or armor set, but the only way to get it was to sneak into the restricted section of the library at night, unattached to a main quest.

Well actually it is not illegal to use Avada Kedabra and crucio, what is prohibited is using it on humans, but on beasts or animals it is "acceptable". The only way to use those curses and not go to Azkaban is if you are in a battle of life or death, in that type of situation you can use Avada Kadabra, but you cannot be the aggressor, that is the one who starts the conflict with those techniques because that is a direct pass to Azkaban, but as long as it is to defend your life, it is "acceptable", the reason why Avada Kadabra, crucio, and Imperio are illegal is because you really must mean it, feel it with all your being, with all your instinct, your hatred, the wish of kill someone or torturing them in the case of Crucio, because would not work otherwise.

The issue with this being a prequel aswell as the simplistic view of evil in harry potter, you can't have more than one dark lord who isn't voldemort popping up every once in awhile. Using the curses should get you into allot of trouble and if you openly use it and mind control, torture or murder a fellow student l, teacher or village resident you should be expelled and sent to wizard jail as a game over.

Except you can't cast the killing spell (or any spell I think) on NPCs to begin with. The video was created either by using a mod or an exploit for entertainment purposes.

[@stevent3676]

Random things I've realized: - the unforgivable curses range from the Jedi mind trick, torture, and instant death (guess which one of those stands out) - in theory and in the films, Reducto can most probably be fatal, plus there are other ways of causing death through other spells without the unforgivable curses (Bellatrix Lestrange's death comes to mind), yet those methods aren't deemed unforgivable.

[@JoseRodriguez-eu5ez]

You could use any of the spells in Harry Potter and achieve deadly results.

[@ixyrt7096]

The thing is... Killing isn't the default way of using reducto. You can do many things with those spells that can have deadly result when used in specific way, but crucio, avada and imperius can do only one thing: cause harm snd sectusempra... It was Snapes little secret

[@kozlowskinator6056]

The difference is that you can only cast them with the intent to cause harm. Trying to cast avada kedavra without wanting the other person dead won't work. Which means that while with other spells you can argue in a court of law that your intent wasn't to kill only to disarm or neutralise - you cannot do the same for the unforgivable three. Your sole intent was to kill or hurt. It would be like admitting to attempted murder at the start of your trial in muggle terms.

[@hari3556]

​@@ixyrt7096I think they are called unforgivable curses not because of the consequences but more because of the intent. You can kill someone with Reducto when you don't really mean to. But you can only kill someone with the killing curse if you are out to absolutely murder the hell out of them which is pretty messed up.

[@vaspeter2600]

The difference between Reducto and Avada Kedavra is like the difference between a can of pepper spray and a loaded gun. You can probably kill a man with either if you put in enough effort, but pointing the pepper spray at someone still sends a different message than pointing a loaded gun at them.

[@marshallneff1631]

I loved how when in the book they introduced this 3 curse, they couldnt stop emphasising how evil they are. But when harry cast crucio on a death eater for badmouthing a teacher, and started bragging about bellatrix being right that the desire to torture someone makes the curse mutch more powerfull, mcgonagall was like: my my potter, what a naughty boy you are, now let me cast imperio on them Edit: ik they were at war, but that only means harry is a war criminal, nothing else. The geneva convention for example strictly forbids actin inhumain to captives of war, and if you break it, you will be heavily punished for it, if you get caught. There are things so horrible, that they are strictly forbidden to do, even in a war. Brutal torture is one of those things. I dont mean this as a slander to harrys character, and im not sure wether the harry potter universe has a wizard version of the geneva convention or not, im just trying to point out, that the story is incredibly inconsistent about how unforgivable the unfogivable curses are, regarding that if you are a main character, noone gives an f about you casting it.

[@TheTrueVirus22]

As you already mentioned Bellatrix pretty much laughs it off when Harry uses cruciatus on her because the intent needs to be there in order for it to work. You need the desire to inflict pain. And regarding Avada Kedavra you need to be quite powerful to cast it in the first place as stated by Bart Crouch Jr, and quite possibly also some intent is also necessary, but not sure about that. I think it is cool that they included the spells and that you can actually use them but you come across them rather easily since they are always just rewards for quests. And you can just use them as you please without any sort of repercussions. The worst thing you get is like a character saying something like: "I don't like it when you use dark magic". That's like a friend discovering that you killed and tortured people and saying: "Dude I kinda do not like that you do that, but whatever".

[@stefanosormani8245]

Well, they were in an actual war. Yeah shoot someone with a gun is bad, but shooting during a war to save someone from your side is something else entirely. Plus it wasn't even Avada Kedavra, but "just" Crucio.

[@TheTrueVirus22]

@@stefanosormani8245 That is why I said that they would have to adjust the story accordingly or make some shit up. Because the way it is in the game currently does not make sense. I am not a game developer but I think if you want to make an immersive game you should make it logically conclusive in one way or the other. Also during the first wizarding war every curse was allowed to be used by aurors, not just cruciatus. But cruciatus is the worst one in my opinion anyway since it makes people beg for death and can drive them to insanity. Avada kedavra at least is painless and instant.

[@_Just_Another_Guy]

When Nintendo developed BotW, Eiji Aonuma talked about how they programmed nearly everything in the world to react in various ways to actions that's happening in/around the object. For example, NPCs would panic/cower when Link brings enemies near them, or act surprised/scared when he detonates a bomb in the vicinity, or when Link wears certain outfits the NPCs would either remark on it or act scared of Link. This is what games like Hogwarts Legacy is missing and it takes away a lot of the immersion as a result.

[@renren47618]

Yeah, i have a funny clip on Botw where i started shooting bomb arrows on Kakariko and a boy begun to run around it, It was very funny

You're greatly overstating the quality of those interactions in a greatly overrated game. All it amounts to is a canned animation and the npcs going "HUH?!" Or running away from Bokoblins.

[@dj-y7018]

@@kylekillgannon I dunno man I reckon it added a lot of immersion even though the animations weren't always very varied. It's no RDR2 with it's NPCs but the way they are in BOTW Is still much better than NPC's just staring into space while crazy shit goes down right next to them. Going to the effort to program every creature, animal and person in hyrule to have little reactions to stuff like that sounds like quite a lot of work to me. Also if it's as easy and ineffective as you make it sound then thats an even worse look for the harry potter game seeing as they didn't bother with that stuff at all in the first place apparently

[@kylekillgannon]

Funny! Though let's face it - no reaction from NPCs is due you not being able to obtain these spells so early in the game.

Even late into the game no one ever reacts to you using these spells. The best you get is a SINGLE line per companion whenever you are on one of their quests.

[@FoolishPoppycock]

I think it's more likely due to the fact that it would be hugely complex to add actual consequences that make sense to using these spells. You're supposed to get into deep shit if you go around slinging em. Like, wizard gulag level shit. Imo it's just lazy design, but you can't hope for the moon and expect to get it.

Honestly a morality system like we had in "Infamous" would be enough. Especially something the likes of Infamous I where if you go full evil you're OP. Here, the mastership of the dark arts would put you at a advantage above others since you could exploit their moral code for your advantage.

[@RiingMsn]

i feel like they couldve done a morality system similar to another comment mentioned, except the more you use killing/curse spells you get more negative morale like red dead 2. And the higher it is the less spells you're able to cast until u can only use curse skills to resemble being 'corrupted'

[@gotcaneforthecanesniffers5594]

I mean using the killing curse in the school would mean straight to azkaban. Which would mean we wouldn't play as a student at hogwarts etc. If this was a harry potter game where u were a bit older. out of school or something then yh morality system would work as you can be an auror or maybe join the dark side.

[@ebinn6381]

People are so fixated on unforgiveable curses and morality cus of some tiktok trend it's honestly cringe. this game was made by an unknown studio with 1 shit game behind their backs. ur playing as a 15 year old, you aren't even able to hit students or teachers without mods, a morality system would do nothing.

[@tj3603]

@@ebinn6381 have to disagree, morality system would make it more immersive, and it would force player to be sneaky and careful. It breaks suspense of disbelieve every time you doing something - like using unforgivable curses or robbing a house in plain sight - which should have consequences, but it didn't. Especially when said consequences are established in game lore. Sebastian can go to Azkaban for his use of dark magic, only thing keeping him free is willingness of all witnesses to be silent about it. Other npc thieves get shunned by people, except for our super special protagonist, who can do literally whatever they want. But I'm also a gamedev, so I understand it's not that easy to implement system like this for a game this massive.

[@ebinn6381]

@@tj3603 Then you obviously don't understand the devs intentions. They never should have said that you can become a ''dark'' wizard, you can take a ''bad'' ending but playing as a bad guy isn't possible. And it's tiktok which made this huge because all those articles came out about how you can literally be Voldemort. The game is kind of like ghost of tsushima in a sense of open world exploration and all the side quests/exploration puzzles. You're not actually stealing from people their houses it's just a way for the devs to make you explore. Using unforgiveable curses is just a way to make combat more interesting for people using them, you have to think that your character isn't actually using unforgiveable curses. I mean what's the point of using unforgiveable curses if every time you do use them it's basically game over.

[@tj3603]

​@@ebinn6381 obviously, you don't understand what I'm saying. Of course, game mechanics designed to encourage exploration and make combat gameplay more versatile, and they are working as intended. However, valid criticisms can still be made regarding the design of these mechanics. They have glimpses of a morality system here and there. You can be a jerk to a few bots, and in future dialogs they will be mean to you. NPCs can protest about you using dark magic in banter. Sebastian's quest line establishes that Unforgivable curses are serious business with major consequences. And you have weird fake choice in the end, where you can stand by Keepers or go the other way. But all of it is decorative and half-baked. If it was functional, many things would have made more sense. For example, no one minds you picking a door and breaking a charmed chest inside someone's house to take all the goodies, but reasonably NPCs should mind. Because contextually, it is stealing. When a villager whines to you in a cutscene about some evil ashwinder taking his things and then completely ignores you doing the same, it breaks immersion. One way to fix this could be to restrict private spaces to encourage players to use stealth or to utilize spells like Obliviate or Imperio as a way to avoid punishment for getting caught. Furthermore, the use of Unforgivable curses should have consequences, but it shouldn't be game over every time. The consequences should depend on the circumstances and the relationships you have with the NPCs around you. For instance, if you use an Unforgivable curse exploring alone or in front of your "dark arts bff" Sebastian, you're okay because he won't snitch on you. But if you use it in front of other students, it may trigger a cutscene where they confront you about it. Depending on the relationship you have with them, you could play dumb or lie, or use Obliviate or Imperio to shut them up. With professors, the consequences should vary as well. For example, some, like Professor Sharp, may not be reasoned with, and seeing you use an Unforgivable curse will result in game over. Some you could try and charm with Obliviate or Imperio, but a few, like Professor Hecate or Weasley, would see right through your trickery, and in that case, you would also receive a game over. But with some you could play dumb and get away with detention and a very strong warning (which can be a quest on its own or a serious change of pace, like now the player must use all secret passages and sneak everywhere, because professors are watching them super closely). This would make the world more cohesive, add flavor to role-playing as a dark wizard, and encourage players to be aware of their companions and more selective in combat, while maintaining original idea of Hogwarts student sim.

at first I thought the professor was evil, but she's probably just scared to death and trying her best not to upset the murderous psychopathic student in any way🙈
