I feel like it's somehow MORE evil to play both sides between Ominis and Sebastian, making them both think we're on their side, meanwhile we're just using them to get the curses and throwing Sebastian under the bus at the first opportunity once we've gotten what we've came for...
@@Pwody91 Yes, I mean it is about our school years and Sebastian and Ominis were both sweet in their own way. Our choices should matter for the romance development. It would have been an easy way of making the game so much cooler.
And weird too, considering the gameplay lets you be very evil, killing people even without the unforgivable curses. But the dialogue just makes you kind of a jerk for not returning people's items or asking to be compensated correctly after you risked your life just to return their magic toothbrush or whatever.
Actually even if you choose the nice options, the game makes you a criminal who sneaks into every house to steal from their chests. It felt like the good options could never make up for that, no matter how pleasant we were, were still ended up with the stink of being amoral.
Considering you're an absolute f*%$ing sociopath, it makes sense you can only be mildly unpleasant. You go around killing dozens of people, sometimes in gruesomely violent methods, and you just shout like you didn't just commit 3 war crimes, "YOUR BLOOD IS ON RANROCK'S HANDS!" Like brother, its a good thing consequences aren't a thing, cause our character has 0 remorse/guilt for killing other people.
I remember when the game was announced someone said we could be evil enough to cast Avada Kedavra on students in the hallway. I'm not sure who originally said that, but that would have been interesting.
I honestly think most of them deserved what they got for being lazy and getting someone else to do the work for them and then take credit for your hard work.

If you use the dark arts around headmaster black you'll basically get "great spell just not here"😂 some dude did a compilation of professors reactions to avada.
Kinda disappointing how about 90% of the "BAD" choices boil down to basicly just keeping an item or piece of information for yourself after a fetch quest. There is no real option to RP as an evil character, just a very selfish one.
Grace is easily the person you can piss off at the highest level 😂😂😂. You find her family artifact, tell her you’re keeping it, then you beat her at Summoners court, then tell her it was easy 😂😂. She’ll never recover from that.
Ok, but some of these quests are questionable to begin with. The other students are tired of Zenobia being a poor winner and hide her gobstones, that second kid wants to pretend to be brave by making another student face danger and then taking the glory, etc. 😂 Why should we feel bad for not coddling their bad behavior?
I love how puffskien Dunkin said you wasted his time like he went on an adventure into the secret herbology corridor. He just sat there and let you do all the works. He could’ve not wasted his time that wasn’t on the main character.
The way I did my evil character was more of one who only cares about themself rather than someone who wants to make others miserable. Which essentially means that I made sure to look good in front of teachers, asked for a fee rather than keep useless items or to show outfits and by the end took all the power into myself.
Are there any items you get from asking for fees that you can’t get otherwise? I played a pretty nice character and always wondered that. Don’t have the desire to play through the game a 2nd time
my evil character is a very handsome hufflepuff boy who looks like a cross between lucius malfoy and Blade. he is an absolute asshole because he has the most girly voice ever lol. if there is an option to keep whatever, he is keeping it and he will always charge you an extra fee otherwise.
The voice actor for Garnuff did a fantastic job. He really made you feel the connection to Biscuit and his responses felt so genuine. It was also one of the darkest side quests, I think, because of the consequences of your choice.. At the end, you had either a goblin who was happily reunited with his Biscuit and lost the last shred of racial bias he had against wizardkind, or you have a hateful racist who can't stand to continue life and has decided that wizards are indeed evil and can't be trusted. It's two polar opposite paths for Garnuff and it all comes down to what you do with his Biscuit 😢
Zenobia: I felt a little bit bad in a playthrough where I kept her gobstones... But then again... I absolutely cannot understand why anyone (other than 9-year-old boys) would want to play a game that sprays you with smelly goo. Although the kids who bullied her by hiding her gobstones did overreact. They could have just declined to play in the first place. Duncan: I don't like bullying him. Nobody deserves their entire school life destroyed by one small act of cowardice. I do like to tease him and say I won't give him the leaf and then laugh and give it too him. The guy does need to face his fears. Also if this were a real situation I would make him come with me to the Herbology corridor. Sure it's dark and scary in there. Anyone would be a little nervous. Going in with a friend would make it less scary. What makes me hesitant to actually give him the leaf is that he didn't actually do anything! He earned the reputation of being a coward and then the player character just fixes it for him. I'm all for helping people, but this isn't helping! It's enabling a wimpy coward to continue to be a wimpy coward! Lenora: Can't believe anyone would have so much trouble solving those incredibly obvious puzzles. I did actually solve one of those before ever even meeting Lenora! LOL If this were real life, I would probably tease her about it a little bit, but it's just plain rude not to tell her the answer. Sophronia and the Hall of Herodiana: Only a real a**hole would refuse to show her the outfit. I see it as she's sort of the researcher who "Hires" the adventurer to find the artifact. Of course, she doesn't offer you money at first, but if you insist she will pay you. Cressida's diary: I'm sure anyone can relate to the horror of the threat of having the entire school know all of your private and personal thoughts. Grace Pinch-Smedly: I can somewhat understand asking for a reward or compensation of some kind, but what the heck are you going to do with a rusty old astrolabe that even if it weren't rusted beyond repair you probably wouldn't know how to use anyway? Nerida and the mermaids: Dummy needs to learn how to swim! Can't very well be a liaison to aquatic creatures if you can't swim. I understand wanting compensation for diving in the yucky lake, but there really is no point in keeping the artifact other than being a jerk. I guess it is pretty... Biscuit the Mooncalf: Logically the mooncalf would be safer in the room of requirement where no poachers could possibly get to it, but how could you be so cruel to that guy? When his eyes swell up like big saucers. You're stealing his pet and best friend. How would you feel if someone came along and stole your dog or something? Marianne and the Diricawl: I really did not want to give that woman the albino Diricawl. I'm sure she doesn't abuse it, but it's pretty clear that she's more interested in using the pretty feathers in her stupid "Fashion" than she is in the bird's actual welfare. Sabastian: I feel like Sabastian is not a bad guy. He just gets blinded by his desire to help Anne and he can't see anything else. Throwing him in Azkaban is only going to make him bitter and hateful. He'll either rot in there forever, or if he ever does get out he will be a hateful murderous psychopath.
When I do an evil playthrough it will be as a Hufflepuff so I'll be sending him to Azkaban knowing he'll end up like the woman framed for Jackdaw's disappearance. Super cruel!
I had fun completing this game, but at the end I realized the huge wasted potential. For me the best was the visuals, dueling system and sebastian storyline. The rest is a huge map with a repetitive logistic that ends up boring. I rather preferred a multiple outcome history based on morality, more side missions, more school interaction and focusing all the treasure hunting in hogwarts. At the end I ended up feeling like harry potter and the reseller of clothing and accessories.
I like that based on your choices in the fetch quests, your other classmates will comment on them. "Once a coward, always a coward, just ask Duncan Hobhouse." - Ominis Gaunt.
After using the mod for unlocking all the spells, i only used the unforgivable curses to finish the game, but there is no consequence as there is no morality in Hogwarts. I hope someone creates a Morality Mod.
My MC on my Story playthrough is a good person who always helps others and doesn't learn the unforgivables (you don't need to for 100% on the Switch) Although having said that I did tell Zenobia that playing Gobstones was a terrible idea because that's how they were stolen in the first place
The closest mod to a morality mod is an azkaban mod I saw on nexus 😂 someone modded that you can get sent to azkaban if you perform the unforgivable curses in front of NPC's so there's that? HAHA but that's about it
The worst option for the Biscuit quest is to fall in the bug where you can open the cage before the mission starts, but then you can't open later the lock to complete the quest. Probably all the poor creatures suffered a long agony finally dying from thirsty, hungry and even cannibalism trapped there
@@ZDProds-c8pBecause every Harry Potter fan wants to self insert into that story/universe. That includes being evil as well if they want to. They gave you the choice to make your own character so they clearly knew that.
Yeah, but considering he uses his wand to "see" his way around, he probably has, in some way "seen" Sebastian. It'd be like telling Daredevil he's never seen Electra when it rains.
Honestly the decision with Puffskein Duncan is the good one. While giving him the leaf will help his current situation, it won’t benefit him in the long run. My gryffindor character chose to keep the leaf because of this and because he values bravery
@@15thobserver my slytherin gave him the leaf because connections are always important to have and he would owe me a huge favor for that, on top of it being a good way to boost my reputation as a good, trustworthy person. my hufflepuff boy kept the leaf because he's an asshole to compensate for having a super girly voice.
as a gryffindor i still gave it to him because he was literally being bullied. give him the leaf and help him find his bravery another way (hypothetically ofc)
Hey just because I spam the killing curse and then laugh like a manic as it melts down every health bar that doesn't mean that I'm the Dark Lord... Oh wait, it does. Avada Kadavra!
Dang taking Biscuit is definitely the most evil thing that made me feel super sad. I could never I am glad I don't have to do an evil play through now lol
I don't think you'd have ever been given the option to do so, BUT when I first heard about the repository that held the embodiment of other people's pain, and knowing full well how dangerous it was, I actually wanted to destroy it. Think back to Mass Effect 3. Post extended cut, Destroy is the best ending imo as its the ONLY one where Shepard has even a CHANCE to survive, the ONLY one that doesn't involve either letting the Reapers win the war, forcibly altering everyone's DNA and possibly personalities too, or being under the eternal rule of a rouge AI. In other words, its the ONLY ending that lets everyone in the galaxy live their lives as they please just as they did before the invasion. Destroying the repository would prevent the entire situation with Ranrok from happening all over again. And the Keepers stress how dangerous it is given it embodies all of the pain and emotion forcibly taken from other people by Isadora. And its not like ancient magic would be gone, it existed before the repositories anyway.
Those "bad" choices have no influence other than small lines... Coming from a game which decisions would play s heavier role in the development of the story, this was one point on Hogwarts that put me off
I started out being super friendly, giving quest items back right away and not asking for more money... later when I saw the "I need some more" options I started selecting them, and noticed I would get basically the same rewards as being nice, but with 500g more of top. Soon after, my playthrough turned to me keeping items (or special beasts in companion quests) and always requesting more money as reward if the item couldn't be kept. People said nasty things about me but I am loaded 😆 I wonder if they'll eventually make all NPC's attackable?
For me at the end of the Sebastian Sollow quest the "evil" choice was not to turn him in, so that a boy knowing all 3 unf. curses and murder of his uncle can still be running around.
@@ZDProds-c8p If you turn him in it's more treason than rlly beeing evil in my op. A real villain like me knows how to inflict most damage to society and meanwhile still having pride and integrity 💪🏻
Damn, my very first playthrough i got this ending and I wasn’t even intentionally evil. I did use those unforgivable curses quite a bit, however but really just the one. Totally not AVADA KEDAVRA!
All the bad lines that bully other people are even better when (at least for me) Baldemorts voice is similar to Radclifes voice. This dry mercilessness is just pure gold xd
What pisses me off is the game is all about this magic power the keepers want to keep secret. Then I open the suppository and get the power and literally nothing happens, No spells, No extra power or effects lol And the keepers are such hypocrites, When the Isadora girl gets her power all they say is “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE” and then they kill her using Avada Kedavra.
One thing that I'm wondering is if I could just rush the main quest and then do the sebastian's sidequest, after ending the main story and telling him that rookwood is the one that cursed his sister... maybe there will be some alternative dialogue?
Nope same dialogs except it ends up being backwards and broken in context. Sebastian in one of my playthroughs finds out the truth BEFORE killing his uncle, seems remorseful, then if you turn him in AFTER THAT you still get the dialogs with ominis about how ominis tells sebs the truth and he gets even more angry. Clearly the devs didn't anticipate you finishing the main line before the Sebastian one
I hope in the near future a DLC will be made to make Hogwarts legacy more interesting by making the character we choose to become a dark wizard like a Evil Jedi in Star Wars
There is no real choices to make. Most just give you the same dialog no matter what option you choose. How much parse this game gets really shows how low the expectations on the Videogame industry has become
@Siggie after playing the game to 100% twice, there are no changes in dialog or outcome no matter what choices you make. The biggest disappointment for me was handing in my field guide to Professor Weasley. 1st play I was at 85%, she said I had done a lot, but there was still a large bit to complete before my OWLs. In the second play, I made sure to be at 100% before turning it in. She had the same exact dialog, saying there was more to do, even at 100% complete. Along with other parts of the game, I would pick one option and see the outcome. Reload the game and choose another option just to have the same things happen. Overall, they have made a good start, I think they do need to just skip DLC and move on to making a better second game. Now the world is made they just need to add to it
It is fun game. Not having morality system or far reaching consequences makes it feel like a PS2 game which are really fun. Like I am really playing a game for fun and relax.
@mexodroid1848 it's definitely fun, I played it twice now. I just see what it could have been, but that makes me excited for the 2ed game. I think Avalanche will be even better next time
Gaslighting Sebastián into thinking he made the correct choice by killing his uncle, having him teach you Avada kedavra, then hauling his ass off to Azkaban is next level diabolical
Yeah I plan to make my Gryffindor as evil as possible. LOL My reasons for this: Not all Slytherins are evil! I don't want to play the super cliche "Evil Slytherin". I actually made my Slytherin nice. They just sometimes get blinded by their ambitions and get mislead. In my personal experience, Gryffindors tend to be arrogant bullies. So that's how I'm playing mine. Not all of them are bad of course, but not all of them are good either.
Well reading some of things I believe was written by Salazar Slytherin it seems like Godrick and him tend to agree each other and were best of friends until Godrick agreed to bring muggles into the wizarding world in hogwarts.
I love how much his voice changes when he reports back to Lenora all cheerfully only to get dreadfully serious when he refuses to give her the answer 😂
To be honest, I actually dont think the good ending is really a good ending either. I know it relates to the message the game is going for, but if you think about it, it just means you are putting that decision on to the next person with ancient power that comes into existence... rather than creating a real solution for the issue such as creating a channel for ancient magic
I agree. The game and the Keepers are also extremely vague about what's so bad with the power in the first place, aside from it being unknown and very strong. It feels extremely weird that all throughout the game all they ever say is "no, we don't know what it does so don't do it" as if that would ever satisfy anyone. The only real offenses Isidora is seen or told to do are taking _something_ out of Niemh without her consent and doing it to students, although the students are volunteers. But neither of these things tell the player anything about the consequences, or even what was taken from Niemh. The only thing that was unambiguously bad was Isidora's father being a mindless husk in the end but the game is also extremely vague about that too. Did Isidora go drunk with power and suck all emotions out of him, or did the one event of taking away his pain result in this state with time? Nobody knows but Isidora died because of it and according to the Keepers we're supposed to understand why.
The first time I kept Biscuit, but then after seeing his dialogue when you say Biscuit is better off with the player, I reloaded my save and decided to give Biscuit back.
Playing as a Slytherin was much more fun. I didn’t tell Lenora the answer to the moth puzzle either - I got a laugh out of making her big mad. Not my fault she was too stupid to figure it out herself. Puffskein Ducan needs to learn to stand up for himself and Zenobia should try playing a game that doesn’t spew gunk on other students - otherwise she’ll never make any friends. I do usually help people, but I extort them for more galleons in return. I couldn’t keep Biscuit, it’s too cruel, so I asked for 500 galleons instead. I didn’t turn Sebastian in either. Mostly because that boy needs therapy and NOT a prison cell in Azkaban. Slytherin’s are all about fraternity, anyway. I did open the repository though, sucks to suck Keepers. No takes backsies.
I thought so too, but the ending alterations are interesting. If you don't snitch, he stays at the school and shows real regret at the end. Versus if you do snitch, he's sent to the ministry with nothing for us to see. Does a good job showing it as not the cut/dry decision that many others seem to be.
2:45 what Duncan doesn’t realize is that getting stronger will make the others leave him alone! I find it so rich that he asks us to do something risky solely for his benefit and when he doesn’t get his way, *we* have wasted *his* time? What exact time has he spent doing anything? He doesn’t deserve to get the leaf!
Thank you for this. In every game i play i'm ALWAYS a goody two shoes, can't help it. Please, play more single player games as a complete baddie just so us angels can see how the other half live. :)
I told Sebastian nobody should know the AK curse after he killed his uncle and I did not get to learn it during the quest. However after accidentally finished a different side quest, I saw Sebastian at the undercroft and he taught me how to 😂
I usually do a good route when I play rpgs, but I also didn't tell Lenora cause I didn't like her attitude. And this outcome was still the better one lol
Wow, what an amazing game design. You only have a "choice" in secondary quest that don't have an impact on the story, and it all boils down to the last conversation when they go "Thanks. Give me that thing" and you go "No" and they go "I can't believe it" and you go "I'm not joking". Rinse and repeat.
Hahahah that was actually funny, especially Professor Weasley clapping hands to you after making all the wrong choices. Maaaaan thank you for a fun time.
Problem is, with no alignment system unlike ME you can't make any really evil choices save for manipulating Sebastian and Ominis and the so-called evil ending does not earn you any bonus whatsoever. So all in all you're merely being selfish for chump change and mild roleplay...
There is no such thing as good and evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it.

Which essentially means that I made sure to look good in front of teachers, asked for a fee rather than keep useless items or to show outfits and by the end took all the power into myself.
Are there any items you get from asking for fees that you can’t get otherwise? I played a pretty nice character and always wondered that. Don’t have the desire to play through the game a 2nd time
@@geezus7678 No but you always get around 500 galleons
I think this way of playing bad makes most since to plot and character
my evil character is a very handsome hufflepuff boy who looks like a cross between lucius malfoy and Blade. he is an absolute asshole because he has the most girly voice ever lol. if there is an option to keep whatever, he is keeping it and he will always charge you an extra fee otherwise.
Can you really obtain all that power in the end and use it? (I haven’t finished the game yet)
The voice actor for Garnuff did a fantastic job. He really made you feel the connection to Biscuit and his responses felt so genuine.
It was also one of the darkest side quests, I think, because of the consequences of your choice..
At the end, you had either a goblin who was happily reunited with his Biscuit and lost the last shred of racial bias he had against wizardkind,
or you have a hateful racist who can't stand to continue life and has decided that wizards are indeed evil and can't be trusted.
It's two polar opposite paths for Garnuff and it all comes down to what you do with his Biscuit 😢
Only a sociopath would refuse to give back his pet, even on an evil playthrough
@@ethor7676 listen!! i had to stay true to my evil playthrough, im sorryy 🤕
Much like real life actually…
"Baldemort Baldo" 😂
Baldo means the bald if U translate
Zenobia: I felt a little bit bad in a playthrough where I kept her gobstones... But then again... I absolutely cannot understand why anyone (other than 9-year-old boys) would want to play a game that sprays you with smelly goo. Although the kids who bullied her by hiding her gobstones did overreact. They could have just declined to play in the first place.
Duncan: I don't like bullying him. Nobody deserves their entire school life destroyed by one small act of cowardice. I do like to tease him and say I won't give him the leaf and then laugh and give it too him. The guy does need to face his fears. Also if this were a real situation I would make him come with me to the Herbology corridor. Sure it's dark and scary in there. Anyone would be a little nervous. Going in with a friend would make it less scary. What makes me hesitant to actually give him the leaf is that he didn't actually do anything! He earned the reputation of being a coward and then the player character just fixes it for him. I'm all for helping people, but this isn't helping! It's enabling a wimpy coward to continue to be a wimpy coward!
Lenora: Can't believe anyone would have so much trouble solving those incredibly obvious puzzles. I did actually solve one of those before ever even meeting Lenora! LOL If this were real life, I would probably tease her about it a little bit, but it's just plain rude not to tell her the answer.
Sophronia and the Hall of Herodiana: Only a real a**hole would refuse to show her the outfit. I see it as she's sort of the researcher who "Hires" the adventurer to find the artifact. Of course, she doesn't offer you money at first, but if you insist she will pay you.
Cressida's diary: I'm sure anyone can relate to the horror of the threat of having the entire school know all of your private and personal thoughts.
Grace Pinch-Smedly: I can somewhat understand asking for a reward or compensation of some kind, but what the heck are you going to do with a rusty old astrolabe that even if it weren't rusted beyond repair you probably wouldn't know how to use anyway?
Nerida and the mermaids: Dummy needs to learn how to swim! Can't very well be a liaison to aquatic creatures if you can't swim. I understand wanting compensation for diving in the yucky lake, but there really is no point in keeping the artifact other than being a jerk. I guess it is pretty...
Biscuit the Mooncalf: Logically the mooncalf would be safer in the room of requirement where no poachers could possibly get to it, but how could you be so cruel to that guy? When his eyes swell up like big saucers. You're stealing his pet and best friend. How would you feel if someone came along and stole your dog or something?
Marianne and the Diricawl: I really did not want to give that woman the albino Diricawl. I'm sure she doesn't abuse it, but it's pretty clear that she's more interested in using the pretty feathers in her stupid "Fashion" than she is in the bird's actual welfare.
Sabastian: I feel like Sabastian is not a bad guy. He just gets blinded by his desire to help Anne and he can't see anything else. Throwing him in Azkaban is only going to make him bitter and hateful. He'll either rot in there forever, or if he ever does get out he will be a hateful murderous psychopath.
When I do an evil playthrough it will be as a Hufflepuff so I'll be sending him to Azkaban knowing he'll end up like the woman framed for Jackdaw's disappearance. Super cruel!
I had fun completing this game, but at the end I realized the huge wasted potential. For me the best was the visuals, dueling system and sebastian storyline. The rest is a huge map with a repetitive logistic that ends up boring. I rather preferred a multiple outcome history based on morality, more side missions, more school interaction and focusing all the treasure hunting in hogwarts. At the end I ended up feeling like harry potter and the reseller of clothing and accessories.
Can't agree more! I'm just playing to unlock AVADA Kadavra! Those bullshit puzzles and trials are frustrating af
I feel like it was Harry Potter in the highlands. More than half the game is spent running around tiny villages outside hogwarts
I couldn't resist naming my Slytherin character "Ramsey Bolton"

I like that based on your choices in the fetch quests, your other classmates will comment on them. "Once a coward, always a coward, just ask Duncan Hobhouse." - Ominis Gaunt.
After using the mod for unlocking all the spells, i only used the unforgivable curses to finish the game, but there is no consequence as there is no morality in Hogwarts. I hope someone creates a Morality Mod.
In your case they're the Easily Forgiven curses.
My MC on my Story playthrough is a good person who always helps others and doesn't learn the unforgivables (you don't need to for 100% on the Switch)
Although having said that I did tell Zenobia that playing Gobstones was a terrible idea because that's how they were stolen in the first place
The closest mod to a morality mod is an azkaban mod I saw on nexus 😂 someone modded that you can get sent to azkaban if you perform the unforgivable curses in front of NPC's so there's that? HAHA but that's about it
Puffskein Duncan is a ravenclaw. That’s a ravenclaw uniform.
Yes thank you! Don't be dissing on my house now
As a ravenclaw, how is it insulting? My best friends a Hufflepuff.@@FemkevanDrooge
The worst option for the Biscuit quest is to fall in the bug where you can open the cage before the mission starts, but then you can't open later the lock to complete the quest. Probably all the poor creatures suffered a long agony finally dying from thirsty, hungry and even cannibalism trapped there
It really sucks that no choice mattered. Hopefully they learn to make a more grim sequel
Hey! How's Fluffy doing??
why?
@@ZDProds-c8pI WANT TO BE EVIL! GRAAAHH
@@ZDProds-c8pBecause every Harry Potter fan wants to self insert into that story/universe. That includes being evil as well if they want to. They gave you the choice to make your own character so they clearly knew that.
@@ZDProds-c8pwhy did no choice matter? Because whatever you pick for these quests it has absolutely zero outcome on the game
Ominis:”We may never see Sebastian again😢”
Me:”You never have, you’re blind”
Edit: wow never realised this hit 100 likes, lets aim for 150 💪
Yeah, but considering he uses his wand to "see" his way around, he probably has, in some way "seen" Sebastian. It'd be like telling Daredevil he's never seen Electra when it rains.
BRUH (insert group-of-overreacting-black-guys meme here)
HELPP
Honestly the decision with Puffskein Duncan is the good one. While giving him the leaf will help his current situation, it won’t benefit him in the long run. My gryffindor character chose to keep the leaf because of this and because he values bravery
I gave him the leaf just wanting to help out a fellow Ravenclaw.
As a slytherin I got to keep the leaf and laugh at the idiot who lead me straight to it without charging me a dime for such valuable information.
@@15thobserver my slytherin gave him the leaf because connections are always important to have and he would owe me a huge favor for that, on top of it being a good way to boost my reputation as a good, trustworthy person. my hufflepuff boy kept the leaf because he's an asshole to compensate for having a super girly voice.
@@abiean222 Ahh well played, but be wary of cowards they are the first to turn on you no matter the relationship.
as a gryffindor i still gave it to him because he was literally being bullied. give him the leaf and help him find his bravery another way (hypothetically ofc)
Hey just because I spam the killing curse and then laugh like a manic as it melts down every health bar that doesn't mean that I'm the Dark Lord... Oh wait, it does. Avada Kadavra!
Huh? * Dies*
Casts protago Still dies due to fear
@@Dragon287 yeah
I always hear mad eye/Barty Jr in my head when casting avada kadavra lol
I played as a Ravenclaw and I didn't think it would have been out of character for one to learn EVERY spell they could including the Unforgivables.
"He's not really evil. He's just a bit rude"
aka the guy who avada kedavred the whole game
9:26 literally made me cry, poor goblin
Dang taking Biscuit is definitely the most evil thing that made me feel super sad. I could never I am glad I don't have to do an evil play through now lol
Thank you so much for this video. I accidentally chose a mean choice in a side quest and I felt so bad i almost cried
i have never resonated with a comment as much as i did with this one hahah
“You’ll all be sorry once I learn some new spells” is the wizarding world equivalent of “don’t come to school tomorrow”
Nah when Zenobia said "you'll all be sorry when I learn some more spells" you should have cast the killing curse right then and there.
She'll comment that she doesn't know that spell and that it looks beautiful
3:18 It's almost as satisfying as telling someone who can't see the images within those magic eye posters about the super cool dolphin you're seeing.
I don't think you'd have ever been given the option to do so, BUT when I first heard about the repository that held the embodiment of other people's pain, and knowing full well how dangerous it was, I actually wanted to destroy it.
Think back to Mass Effect 3. Post extended cut, Destroy is the best ending imo as its the ONLY one where Shepard has even a CHANCE to survive, the ONLY one that doesn't involve either letting the Reapers win the war, forcibly altering everyone's DNA and possibly personalities too, or being under the eternal rule of a rouge AI. In other words, its the ONLY ending that lets everyone in the galaxy live their lives as they please just as they did before the invasion.
Destroying the repository would prevent the entire situation with Ranrok from happening all over again. And the Keepers stress how dangerous it is given it embodies all of the pain and emotion forcibly taken from other people by Isadora. And its not like ancient magic would be gone, it existed before the repositories anyway.
Those "bad" choices have no influence other than small lines... Coming from a game which decisions would play s heavier role in the development of the story, this was one point on Hogwarts that put me off
Oddly enough, no one has any major issues with us demanding "additional compensation" (except Cressida)...
Evil wizards: "I like Hufflepuff"
Me, an evil Hufflepuff: "uh, yeah, me too."
I started out being super friendly, giving quest items back right away and not asking for more money... later when I saw the "I need some more" options I started selecting them, and noticed I would get basically the same rewards as being nice, but with 500g more of top. Soon after, my playthrough turned to me keeping items (or special beasts in companion quests) and always requesting more money as reward if the item couldn't be kept. People said nasty things about me but I am loaded 😆
I wonder if they'll eventually make all NPC's attackable?
It's amazing anyone kept asking you to do them favors. You'd think after half a dozen quests like these people would have steered clear of you lol
Oh No..not giving Biscuit back ..I could never do this so I appreciate you doing it so I can see the different responses.
I'm absolutely willing to do anything evil In the game except.... separating biscuit from her owner I can't bring myself to do it
For me at the end of the Sebastian Sollow quest the "evil" choice was not to turn him in, so that a boy knowing all 3 unf. curses and murder of his uncle can still be running around.
that is not an evil choice at all lmao
@@ZDProds-c8p If you turn him in it's more treason than rlly beeing evil in my op. A real villain like me knows how to inflict most damage to society and meanwhile still having pride and integrity 💪🏻
Damn, my very first playthrough i got this ending and I wasn’t even intentionally evil.
I did use those unforgivable curses quite a bit, however but really just the one. Totally not AVADA KEDAVRA!
I didn’t give Gwyneira to the lady because she clearly only wanted her for her feathers so she was safer with me
I’m literally trying to do this but I can’t turn in Sebastian I’ll never do that
What’s funny is they really think they can trust a Slytherine student into helping them so not your fault 🤣🤣🤣
"There can only be one dark wizard in Hogwarts...ME!!!" lmao
All the bad lines that bully other people are even better when (at least for me) Baldemorts voice is similar to Radclifes voice. This dry mercilessness is just pure gold xd
Keeping Biscuit and turning Sebastian in was too much even for my Slytherin heart.
Turning Sebastian in was actually the good choice
No it wasn’t
taking Biscuit legit would make me so upset
What pisses me off is the game is all about this magic power the keepers want to keep secret. Then I open the suppository and get the power and literally nothing happens, No spells, No extra power or effects lol
And the keepers are such hypocrites, When the Isadora girl gets her power all they say is “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE” and then they kill her using Avada Kedavra.
One thing that I'm wondering is if I could just rush the main quest and then do the sebastian's sidequest, after ending the main story and telling him that rookwood is the one that cursed his sister... maybe there will be some alternative dialogue?
I did that on accident but it was the same 😂
Nope same dialogs except it ends up being backwards and broken in context. Sebastian in one of my playthroughs finds out the truth BEFORE killing his uncle, seems remorseful, then if you turn him in AFTER THAT you still get the dialogs with ominis about how ominis tells sebs the truth and he gets even more angry. Clearly the devs didn't anticipate you finishing the main line before the Sebastian one
I hope in the near future a DLC will be made to make Hogwarts legacy more interesting by making the character we choose to become a dark wizard like a Evil Jedi in Star Wars
There is no real choices to make. Most just give you the same dialog no matter what option you choose. How much parse this game gets really shows how low the expectations on the Videogame industry has become
Besides the dialogues it is a very good game and Im really nitpicky and like to rage about smaller stuff
@Siggie after playing the game to 100% twice, there are no changes in dialog or outcome no matter what choices you make. The biggest disappointment for me was handing in my field guide to Professor Weasley. 1st play I was at 85%, she said I had done a lot, but there was still a large bit to complete before my OWLs. In the second play, I made sure to be at 100% before turning it in. She had the same exact dialog, saying there was more to do, even at 100% complete. Along with other parts of the game, I would pick one option and see the outcome. Reload the game and choose another option just to have the same things happen. Overall, they have made a good start, I think they do need to just skip DLC and move on to making a better second game. Now the world is made they just need to add to it
It is fun game. Not having morality system or far reaching consequences makes it feel like a PS2 game which are really fun. Like I am really playing a game for fun and relax.
@mexodroid1848 it's definitely fun, I played it twice now. I just see what it could have been, but that makes me excited for the 2ed game. I think Avalanche will be even better next time
Baldemort has to be the name out there. I was already happy with my Gary Potter, but this wins.
I don't think its evil to tell leeches to do their own homework.
As a slytherin, I didn't regret making those evil choises
Gaslighting Sebastián into thinking he made the correct choice by killing his uncle, having him teach you Avada kedavra, then hauling his ass off to Azkaban is next level diabolical
I feel as if I'm spoiling the game for myself but I was curious... and come on, I could become the dark Lord himself and still give Biscuit back
I didnt even know this video existed, but somehow I made your character’s cousin Baldina Baldwich and they look so similar 😂
The blind kid: we may never see Sebastian again!
Me:…..um
apparently every bad decision in Hogwarts legacy is just kleptomania
I skipped the stealing Biscuit part from the video, I know myself and I would have cried for hours thinking about this😭
turns out the most evil sorcerer was Kylian Mbappé all along
Did anyone else hear Harry at 3:08? It sounded just like him!
I hope they will make a morality system so choices have actual consequences whether good or bad.
Yeah I plan to make my Gryffindor as evil as possible. LOL
My reasons for this: Not all Slytherins are evil! I don't want to play the super cliche "Evil Slytherin". I actually made my Slytherin nice. They just sometimes get blinded by their ambitions and get mislead.
In my personal experience, Gryffindors tend to be arrogant bullies. So that's how I'm playing mine. Not all of them are bad of course, but not all of them are good either.
Well reading some of things I believe was written by Salazar Slytherin it seems like Godrick and him tend to agree each other and were best of friends until Godrick agreed to bring muggles into the wizarding world in hogwarts.
Not giving biscuit was the worst one I felt so sad
Imo the goblin should have tried to jump you for stealing his pet. He sounded super attached to it.
I love how much his voice changes when he reports back to Lenora all cheerfully only to get dreadfully serious when he refuses to give her the answer 😂
To be honest, I actually dont think the good ending is really a good ending either. I know it relates to the message the game is going for, but if you think about it, it just means you are putting that decision on to the next person with ancient power that comes into existence... rather than creating a real solution for the issue such as creating a channel for ancient magic
I agree. The game and the Keepers are also extremely vague about what's so bad with the power in the first place, aside from it being unknown and very strong. It feels extremely weird that all throughout the game all they ever say is "no, we don't know what it does so don't do it" as if that would ever satisfy anyone.
The only real offenses Isidora is seen or told to do are taking _something_ out of Niemh without her consent and doing it to students, although the students are volunteers. But neither of these things tell the player anything about the consequences, or even what was taken from Niemh. The only thing that was unambiguously bad was Isidora's father being a mindless husk in the end but the game is also extremely vague about that too. Did Isidora go drunk with power and suck all emotions out of him, or did the one event of taking away his pain result in this state with time? Nobody knows but Isidora died because of it and according to the Keepers we're supposed to understand why.
this is pretty much people asking favors and then when he completes the tasks and say "finders keepers" and runs off
“Puffskein Dunkein is a Hufflepuff student…”
Robes: *is Ravenclaw*
The first time I kept Biscuit, but then after seeing his dialogue when you say Biscuit is better off with the player, I reloaded my save and decided to give Biscuit back.
I only do evil to those who deserve it, but doing evil for nothing makes you a sociopath
Playing as a Slytherin was much more fun. I didn’t tell Lenora the answer to the moth puzzle either - I got a laugh out of making her big mad. Not my fault she was too stupid to figure it out herself. Puffskein Ducan needs to learn to stand up for himself and Zenobia should try playing a game that doesn’t spew gunk on other students - otherwise she’ll never make any friends. I do usually help people, but I extort them for more galleons in return. I couldn’t keep Biscuit, it’s too cruel, so I asked for 500 galleons instead. I didn’t turn Sebastian in either. Mostly because that boy needs therapy and NOT a prison cell in Azkaban. Slytherin’s are all about fraternity, anyway. I did open the repository though, sucks to suck Keepers. No takes backsies.
Yeah, only one on my good playthrough I didn't give it back was the Diricawl to that lady who just wanted to use it for fashion.
Me too, now I feel better lol
From the gobblestones i started and i kept it, I thought "This is the way". People were giving it without rewards ?
Ratting out the guy that murdered his family member in cold blood is a good decision. The bad decision would have been to cover it up.
That's because american society taught us that snitching a criminal is a bad thing.
I thought so too, but the ending alterations are interesting. If you don't snitch, he stays at the school and shows real regret at the end. Versus if you do snitch, he's sent to the ministry with nothing for us to see. Does a good job showing it as not the cut/dry decision that many others seem to be.
2:45 what Duncan doesn’t realize is that getting stronger will make the others leave him alone! I find it so rich that he asks us to do something risky solely for his benefit and when he doesn’t get his way, *we* have wasted *his* time? What exact time has he spent doing anything? He doesn’t deserve to get the leaf!
If Big Dan ever starts going bald...watch out!
Jesus Christ, stealing biscuit broke my forkin heart
Puffskein Duncan…seems to be wearing a ravenclaw robe. Odd choice for a “hufflepuff”.
Thank you for this. In every game i play i'm ALWAYS a goody two shoes, can't help it. Please, play more single player games as a complete baddie just so us angels can see how the other half live. :)
I’ll never rat on my boy Seb, I couldn’t
10:29 Although, if I am not mistaken, when you keep going against Sebastian you don't get to learn avada kedavra.
I told Sebastian nobody should know the AK curse after he killed his uncle and I did not get to learn it during the quest. However after accidentally finished a different side quest, I saw Sebastian at the undercroft and he taught me how to 😂
I usually do a good route when I play rpgs, but I also didn't tell Lenora cause I didn't like her attitude. And this outcome was still the better one lol
Wow, what an amazing game design. You only have a "choice" in secondary quest that don't have an impact on the story, and it all boils down to the last conversation when they go "Thanks. Give me that thing" and you go "No" and they go "I can't believe it" and you go "I'm not joking". Rinse and repeat.
I love how your dude just looks like a regular guy with alopecia 😂
I wish there was a “to be fake, you’ve never seen him in the first place” when we talk to Omnis.
I wanted to be a jerk in my new play through but I was too scared about what would happen 🤣
Hahahah that was actually funny, especially Professor Weasley clapping hands to you after making all the wrong choices. Maaaaan thank you for a fun time.
Keeping the gobstones is a good thing
Problem is, with no alignment system unlike ME you can't make any really evil choices save for manipulating Sebastian and Ominis and the so-called evil ending does not earn you any bonus whatsoever.
So all in all you're merely being selfish for chump change and mild roleplay...
