ps2 chamber of secrets: all characters reacting to you randomly chucking dung bombs at any given time. Also the random student that challenges you to a very short foot race for no real reason. And you can't forget the kid who shows up on the roof and convinces you to pelt gnomes off of it. from the pc games, definitely keep characters wiggling the fingers of their other hand when casting a spell and the bean bonus room will always have a place deep in my heart
Great video Connor, I agree with you on so many things including - Diagon Alley, Stealth at night with consequences, Wizard cards, some sort of refined dueling club, house points, etc. Another thing I'd like to see is some sort of Fred & George style shop being run by students in the castle where you can use a different form of currency to buy unique items you can't find anywhere else in the world. I think a huge thing of what Hogwarts Legacy lacked was just a variety of items. So many outfits, potion ingredients, wand handles, and some brooms... but... that's kinda it. This made all the vendors in the hamlets around the world pretty much useless once you collected all the brooms. All vendors just sold the same potion supplies. Very lackluster. I understand the time period was 100 years before the series which makes their options limited but they could have been more creative with unique items and uses. I'm still not sold on the idea of quidditch being in HL2, but for the sake of this video and having to pick one thing from each game, you're totally right that it's quidditch for Philosophers Stone. I can't speak on the later games (4-7) because I haven't played them, but I agree with your opinions, really well thought out and logical. Especially the potion making minigames! That actually looks enjoyable Sorry for the long winded comment man, but I loved this video. Excited to see what we'll get in the directors cut. Keep the videos coming!
The potion class in HL should have been exacly like Half Blood Prince. Learning to make a new potion should have been like the potion making of the old game. Then, after learning it the hard way, it would be "automatic" like it is in H. Legacy
It is sad that games don't really do local co-op anymore. Quidditch champions would be such a good game to play with my family for game nights but we can't do that sadly. The point system would be great way to make our choices feel like they have consequences. I also want the potion making mini game. I was disappointed when we only have to stir and add ingredients for one potion. Even if it's only for the first time we're making a new potion it still more than just once. I believe some of the old games had an exploding snap mini game? And I wouldn't mind having that or honestly some other wizarding game as a mini game we can play. Summoner's court was alright but it would have been fun to have more games like that for our player to relax. I know you said you weren't doing the Lego games but one thing the Lego games have is that you can rewatch cutscenes. This is great for us content creators who want to use the clips for a video. We don't have to find old clips from previous videos, replay the game, or find clips on line to use. I'd also just take the ability to replay quests where we won't get xp from replaying them as that would work as well cause we could get clips from that too.
They should implement a house points system in HL 2. The first one not having it was bizarre to me
Was sad not to see them in

Thanks for the comment Logan. I agree on the quidditch thing but yes like you said I had to pick one thing. Glad you enjoyed the video
