Yeah maybe they might add some of these in this upcoming "update"?? But that might be getting my hopes up too much, however why put it in the files if you wont at some point implement them??🤔🤔
It definitely seems like Avalanche Software wanted to go all out for this game, being their first independent project since WB acquired them, but were most likely pressed for time with the 2 delays and had to cut some things. Since HL was so successful, I'm sure they will bring some of these features into play in the inevitable sequel. It would be nice to get some of these in the current game, but only time will tell.
I absolutely agree and I think the ending of the game and Sebastain's quest definitely shows a sudden press for time. The ending is just so sudden it'd like a slap. You can tell they definitely planned a LOT more moral dilemma with as you learn about your power and try to help Ann, likely together. Makes me sad it didn't get fully done here though! It just rips you out of the world... You've given me hope though! Can't wait for the sequel! 😊
I wish they would let the game cook for one more year, it's so beautiful, but feels painfully unfinished. Glad to see there was a system for punishing murderhobo and hamlet-robbing behavior. Also, it's surprising how Hogwarts is still standing, considering how many haters there are.
I hope that they add these things back to the game! I'd love learn more about the dynamics between all the 5th years since they've known eachother for 5 years! who's friends with who, who hates who, who likes who, etc. id also love to learn more about all the characters, their birthdays, their families, their blood status, their birthdays, etc.
So ... basically the game was supposed to have everything we wanted ..... but they decided to just not include those features ..... why devs?? ..... just WHY????? T_____T
Time restraints by suits that only care about the money their company can make. That’s 99% the reason games are unfinished now. Devs never want to put out an unfinished game; it’s almost always out of their hands.
Just saw on reddit some share cut content files and they cutted alot of cool spells. I mean they cutted fiendfyre, vera verto, augementi, appiration..there is also some kind of strange spell in the slots which people say are definitely the patronus charm but an incorporeal version. Then a few transfiguration spells were also cut, can't remember the rest of spells but its alot. I hope they add these spells in future updates or dlc cause I mean fiendfyre is one epic spell. Yeah sure it is difficult to control but still its a badass spell.
well, production was slowed during Covid, and investors were impatient, I imagine. It’s unfortunate, but we may yet see an update, or even a sequel… hopefully 😂
I hope the rumored Directors Cut is being worked on at this very moment and adds all these cut features and hopefully many more stuff such as new spells and story dlcs in.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that some NPC hate each other? Like Natsai, what does that poor Amit did to have your hate? Ominis hating almost everyone! And Peeves being familiar with the player is an-almost-Fred-and-Georges-tiers! This table is just so fun!
Some of the friendships are interesting too. Like Sebastian is good friends with Amit. You'd never think! But they did spend five years together. It would be a really fun story to hear of how those two became friends.
@@ComedyLoverGirl Amit and Sebastian are friends? Whoa. Sebastian does defy many Slytherin stereotypes (he’s loyal and doesn’t care about losing) but it’s still the most popular guy being friends with one of the nerdiest guys (that trophy goes to that nerdy kid in Hufflepuff.) 😂
A popular guy like Sebastian is friends with a nerdy guy like Amit, a sweetheart like Ominis is misunderstood, Natty and Sebastian butt heads bc one is a goody two shoes
@@Angel_Auraa Who knows, maybe they actually became friends through studying together! Sebastian may not be as "nerdy" as Amit and is more distracted by, ahem, extracurriculars... But we know Sebastian's parents were professors and he loves to read, so maybe he became friends with Amit when they were both reading in the library.
Interestingly enough Proud Gryffindor Leander actually has better relationships with the Slytherins then minor Gryffindor Eric Northcott, who seems to hate almost everyone for sone reason, even the player.
i dont think those were only npc to npc interactions. i really think they had a relationship building system for us but they took it out in fear of being canceled even more. BeCauSe MiNorS, even thought our MC is the same age as them. They just didnt want more controversy. cancel culture ruins everything
Have to agree. My friend and I came to this conclusion. We were kids when the books came out but now adults. :/ idk how it be handle in day and age. No one used to be offended cause it was two teens which are the characters, not adult (player) and teen. Maybe if they did friend or romance choice option?
I love the game, it's all i ever wanted from this franchise since i was a kid, but it really does feel incomplete sometimes. Honestly, the only feature that i feel they really OWE us is the companion one (+a ravenclaw companion questline, it makes no sense that they cut out 1 house out of 4 from such a big thing in the game) cause it is heavily implied during the first hours of the gameplay. They add this, and it would be a 10/10 FOR ME.
@@Midnight0Mistress Bad take. Every game is like this. Rdr2 had plenty of cut content and so does every game. Cut content is pretty common in game development.
So strange Ominis is displayed as halfblood in the db... (№213 at 23:39) also Sallow twins have like nothing in common, even social status. Indeed, it hasn't been finished and still needs a plenty of work 😢
Yes, I noticed those errors too. I believe what we're seeing here is an early iteration of the worldbuilding, before the story and characters were properly solidified. And because the content was cut, they never bothered to update it to fit with the released game.
One thing that bugged me right from the start was when the player character has to introduce themselves to three house mates of whom only one is considered to be your companion. Now it makes totally sense that the devs had originally planned to have you introduce yourself to the peeps that would stick with you throughout the game. Such a shame that they tossed this aside, probably because of lack of time. I would have preferred Garreth over Natsai and Ominis over Sebastian. I really hope that they will bring the other companions back into the game as they've had planned from the start!
I think Garreth could’ve been the second gryffindor companion but j think Samantha dale and ominus gaunt would’ve been better choices for companions than Everett and immelda
Yeah Everett as is has like nothing going for him other than that one time in the flying class you interact with him. Samantha is in the Accio game so thing and has her own side quest where you go to her family’s tomb. She seems more of a major character than Everett. But with that being said, who knows what they originally intended with Everett. He may have originally had more going for him.
I disagree. Everett is the only Ravenclaw in the common room during introductions (and generally) who likes a commotion and who likes to play around and is not good at studying. He also plants a stink bomb during the Ravenclaw introductions, because his targets appear to be quite stuck up (which is apparently the biggest flaws in Ravenclaws, “being stuck up and hate to be in the wrong”). He also is a rule breaker and it is hinted at, that his family or he is pretty poor. He also seems to be a good flyer and in some sort of competition with Imelda but is limited by Kogawa and the fact that he cannot afford a broom. The “after Ranrok” and the “true end”cut scene also hint that there was way more story planned for Everett as he is shown when Weasley says “the most loyal of friends” during the memorial speech and we see him copying Amit and worried infront of the Boggart cabinet after Natty.
@@annaavertho4944 Like to study and have an open mind are the main characteristics of the Ravenclaw house. Hermione loves to study but hate to admit your mistakes, her arrogance was one of the things that made the Sorting Hat send her to Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw. If Everett existed in the Harry Potter books he never go to Ravenclaw if he was not good at studying, it's a shame the devs weren't more careful when they were creating the characters
I love the fact that the professors have beef with each other. Kogawa and Sharp would have been an amazing duo, I can only imagine the way they shit talk some of the other professors
Omg I know sql. I am so jealous that you can do this data mining. There is just so much there. Also, This is what I was expecting of a Hogwarts game, creating friends and rivals. I feel absolutely robbed of this more complex relationship dynamic. *sigh* Maybe they’ll reintroduce it into the game…
@@Midnight0MistressI think he’ll play a bigger part in the sequel because Anne ran away and he seems to have feelings for her. He might find her before Sebastian does.
1:57 i feel that we were initially supposed to get more than 2 companions per house (probably the 3 you need to introduce yourself per each house + the 1 main companion per house that has a questline). Or maybe even all the named students, after you complete their side quests.
The fact that these files exist and that the game is moddable means that even if the devs never add these things later on, *someone* will. Look at games like the Elder Scrolls series. Morrowind was released in 2001 and people are STILL modding it even now in 2023. Modders keep games alive for literal decades and smart devs realize that.
I was thinking about how cool it would have been to have romance options or a morality system in the game. But the fact that it looks like all of this appears to be cut content (vs not existing at all) hits me like a truck. Dammit WB you idiots!
You're absolute genious! Thank you so much for the info!! And you're right about some info are questionable. 23:29 on Ominis info, stating he's good at potion?? And he's a halfblood?!!! I thought he's a pureblood and bad in potion lolll
It's not just Ominis, but multiple students with wrong info. It says Amit is good at DADA, when we know from the Goblin mine mission, that he is clearly not, plus Professor Hecat is thinking about ways through which she could improve Amit in his dueling. Amit should have had Potions/Astronomy as his excelled subject. Then it says Garreth is good at herbology, when in the game he isn't even that class, but we know Garreth is good at potions. Natsai is shown to be good at Beasts here, when in the game she isn't even at the class, but Natsai is known to be good at Charms. Samantha Dale is a Muggleborn here, when in the game she isn't. She comes from a well known Wizarding family. They even have got most of the Professors wrong.
That sounds like so much of a better game. Hogwarts Legacy is the most dead open world game I've ever played. It I wasn't a huge Harry Potter fan, the game would be no fun. Having no consequences for being evil makes no sense. Even the very first GTA back in 1997 made the cops chase you.
This is fascinating! Must be quite frustrating for the devs to not be able to implement so much of their vision into the final game. Likely due to executive meddling and the game being rushed out the door because WB wanted to see if it would be profitable. I question how accurate or applicable some of the data here is though, since at the end looking through the character database there are some very clear errors, like Poppy Sweeting being listed as a third-year, Anne and Sebastian having different birthdays, or Ominis being listed as halfblood. I think a lot of this data was probably from a much earlier iteration of the worldbuilding, before the game's story and characters were properly finalised. And since they were cut from the game the mistakes were never corrected.
They even have a lot of professors wrong! Satyavati Shah is shown as Halfblood here, when in the game she is a Muggleborn. Professor Hecat is shown to be potions professor, when in the game she is a DADA professor. Ronan is shown as beasts prof here when he in the game is charms prof. Garlic is shown to be Halfblood and beasts profesor, when in the game, she is a Muggleborn and Herbology professor.
Dude they should've kept the morality system thing! Like ofc -100 for murder is reaching they could've kept the getting in trouble for: skipping classes, bullying, falling asleep in class and etc. Plus I really wanted to interact with the other students more so the choicest of befriending them or yk bullying them shouldn't have been taken away either because that's canon things both in the Harry Potter world and irl especially high school! The companion thing would've been cool too and the extra help would've been nice because I be struggling sometimes
Thing i find interesting. Both Anne and Ominis based on the data shared a birthday which are Winter 13. Both are considered upperclass wizard While Sebastian has seperate birthday Summer 1 and registered as lower classed wizard Thus my theory is Anne were originally supposed to be Ominis's Twins and not Sebastian 🤔🤔🤔
se faranno hogwarts legacy 2 per davvero, io sarei contenta se il sistema di moralità fosse integrato questa volta e avere una costruzione del rapporto con i personaggi companions migliorato, più o meno come in Hogwarts mistery (ma non con le gobbiglie) fino a, se vogliamo, creare una storia romantica con un personaggio di nostra scelta. Infine la competizione con le altre case per vincere la coppa sarebbe davvero fantastico come anche il senso del proibito (ad esempio, girare per hogwarts di notte e/o andare nella foresta proibita)
Comunque Hogwarts Legacy 2 si farà è confermato al 100% ma non sappiamo quasi nulla riguardo a ciò che avrà è triste tuttavia 23:31 noto diversi errori sarà una coincidenza/errore?
I was curious about the player backstory and decided to check, and my Ravenclaw character's values were the exact same as your character's. Wealthy Pureblood born in Spring.
fucking hell i get losing points by casting the Unforgivables but fucking Confringo??? considering how often that spell was needed to open and clear pathways, Merlin Trials And all the enemies u have to face especially Inferi.... that would have been just downright unfair.
I think Social Heritage was meant only for how NPC react to your character. The game takes place during a time when the Blacks and other purebloods of the wizarding world were discriminating against mixed bloods. I think the system was meant to immerse you more into the game. For instance if your Slytherin your a pureblood and therefore would be seen in a favorable light by other pureblood while mixed would probably be less friendly or rude to you. It doesn't seem like something of much use to the player to change, more something tied to the house you choose to immerse you more into the life of your chosen character. Maybe the wealth status would determine a starting currency amount but other than that it seems like a system to tell Npc how they should react to the player
I’m not really surprised that the game got cut as the one we have is pretty amazing and you can really tell that the devs respected the original text. If their development time was able to be extended perhaps we could have a even better product story wise.
20:47 Aesop Sharp TEEN? Hello? I always got the feeling they wanted to do more with some of the NPCs/Professors, like Sharp. Dunno if that really indicates there was going to be more outside of voice lines, but even still, I'm even upset that they took those out
There’s also quidditch, especially since they’re a small quidditch pitch in the south of the map it makes sense they had plans for implementing the game. Also they make a point about sneaking around at night so you don’t get caught. However after basically 2 quests that feature this, you’re free to roam the castle at night.
From what I understand from this video, the game's systems were supposed to in theory be much more complex and feature rich than what we have now, but possibly due to all of the disruption between now and its development, and alongside WB pushing for a sooner release, the game suffered as a result, leaving us with a great experience, but a mediocre game...
Just a guess, but I think the other companions for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff would probably be Cressida Blume for Gryffindor and probably Lenora Everleigh for Hufflepuff!
20:40 If I remember correctly there’s an unused model of a teenage Professor Sharp somewhere in the files. I didn’t realize until now that the files also show that teen Sharp has different relationships/friendships with some of the other professors. I wish they left whatever this was in the game, because now I’m curious lol
Which means… our character is an unknown pure blood to the list of 28. Which isn’t impossible cause families could be in hiding. It makes sense for Black to allow a 5th year randomly too then
Big love for the devs but the game felt so incomplete compared what they said was possible. 40 hours of gameplay is not that much for a huge triple a game
Same. I had a feeling Sebastian would pestwr me how i beat him and i wasnt surw about natty. My first playthrough was a ravenclaw. I wanted to go witj someone from my house. And i wish you could do real shopping with them too! If i had come with Samantha, she would comment when we visitrd pippins shop, magic neep and the other herb shop. Everett would have mentioned something about zonkos and sponwitches. And so on. Weird how our companion deserts us to stand on the middle of town. What if we were actually cornwred by rookwood?
I assume she was added much later during the development. Not only her but also other characters like Zenobia Noke, Priscilla Wakefield, Benny Stokes and Sacharissa Tugwood aren't on the list
I thought it was funny when I was getting the helm back for that Goblin.. and I said "This seems dangerous.. I think I should go get some help first" and then he's just like "NONSENSE! Theres no time!!!" lol
How can Aesop Sharp be pureblood when he’s young and change to halfblood when he’s a teen (in school)? I don’t think it changes if you or a relative gets married, right? Was a muggle relative discovered or something? If that’s the case, I have a hard time seeing him and Professor Black as friends, though Black may convince himself that Sharp is actually pureblooded. Or perhaps Black became more concerned with blood status as he aged, but was friends with Sharp before and sort of grandfathered him in (a “he’s one of the good ones” sort of thing). Then there’s the interaction Sharp has with the MC disguised as Black. Sharp seems kind of subservient or formal. I think maybe they changed their minds about the NPC’s relationships a bit, because they don’t seem like friends there. His (short, albeit) conversation with Matilda Weasley didn’t seem like one between rivals, either, though because of some of Ronen’s comments I can see those two being rivals due to their views on teaching. Interesting note: he was, according to this table, pureblooded and lower class when young and halfblooded and upper class when “teen” and adult. Family moved up in the world of money and down in blood status? Adopted by rich halfbloods, perhaps? Another interesting note: In the game, I noticed He refers to Professor Hecat as “Professor Hecat” in a letter in Hecat’s room, Professor Fig as “Fig” when talking to him, and Professor Weasley as “Matilda” when talking to her. I wonder why that is.
I think maybe with the economic status and blood status differences are due to the devs deciding between two different options for his character and deciding on halfblood and upper class, due to adult Sharp being halfblood and upper class
i honestly wish there was more social interactions in the game. like when i was in school and i’m sure when everyone else was too, there was drama and bullying and shit talking behind each other’s backs. not to mention, getting dragged into drama for no reason…they’re literally high school sophomore age in the game so, i was really expecting some craziness. oh, it’d be nice too if we actually knew our parents and family and if we celebrated holidays in the game by going to our family’s house or by celebrating with friends. and also, we were supposed to have animagus forms??? that would’ve been so cool omfg
my theory is that this infro, if it isn't just an error, is that we were going to go to the gaunt house, we have files for it, and find out the aminis was a bastard or something
I don't understand why they hate Omnius so much😂 I can't say he's my favourite character, but he's a very nice, kind, caring guy who cares about his friends, a totally positive mate. Speaking of favourite characters, I don't understand why they made Sharp a negative character in the eyes of the students. He is literally the embodiment of that teacher whose lessons you go to with enthusiasm, even though his subject is boring and difficult.
I wonder does azkaban exists in the map ? When i used free camera mod i spent days searching for it like mini box or something but didn't find i even found the separate trails under the map but still no azkaban...
Omg! Thank you so much for these info. Is it possible for me to take short clips from the video and post it on my tiktok? And of course I will definitely tag you and put a link to this video.
Is there any chance you could comment with exact instructions on what you did to get into the files needed to put the unused content back into the game please? It would help me greatly, because I could copy and paste instructions into Microsoft word, print them out and then follow them!
Which unused content, specifically? Because it’s not possible to add all of them back to the game, and I'm not a mod creator so I wouldn't know how to anyway. As far as I'm aware, the ONLY major cut/unused feature that that can be added back to the game (via mods) is the companion feature, and even then it’s not a complete feature. I assume you’re not familiar with modding? I suggest going to NexusMods.com and making an account there. They have a lot of mods for you to peruse through, see if any of them interests you. Here's a link to the Hogwarts Legacy section: www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/popularalltime If you want to add the companion feature back to the game, for example, you’ll need to install these two mods: 1. AnyTimeCompanion: www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/841?tab=description 2. Blueprint Apparate Modloader: www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/56?tab=description Each mod will have different installation instructions (see their respective “Description” tabs), so I can't possibly copypaste all of them here. You'll need to read through the instructions very, very carefully - print them out if you like so it’s easier for you to follow them. If you run into issues installing any of the mods, you can search/ask for help on the “Posts” tab of the mod(s), there's a good chance that at least one other person will have the same issue(s) as you. A good rule of thumb is to backup your game files and save files before attempting to install mods - you’ll never know what will go wrong.
Is modifying the SQL files how the mods are made? I know already there is a mod for modifying Student NPC's uniforms. But could I modify the SQL files to sat give everyone the Capricious Vest uniform for example
Why did this original video not even show up when I searched for “hogwarts legacy morality system”? Other videos covering this got way more views, and that creator was yappjng too much, had to exit that video
Imho, since the NPC interactions with each other seem scripted to me, as they repeat, I don't think that there are dynamic NPC-to-NPC interactions in the game right now. At best this what a planned feature, would've made every new playthrough a bit more unique, but I think the better explanation would be, that it was a planned feature for player-to-NPC interaction. I mean even right now in the game there are hints, like when you finish the whole quest chain with Poppy and have your final talk with her, she suggests (at least to male player characters, It was just my first playthrough) that you should have a butter beer at some point together. Heck, even between adults that could be interpreted, after all they've been through together and having shared interests, as a semi-hidden attempt to basically ask for a date and wizards and witches or not, we're still talking about hormone-loaded 15-/16-year olds here, basically the age were first relationships develop usually. And there are also unnamed female students discussing how some other male student (none of the male ones we know as far as I remember, just a random name guy) is so handsome and he probably has mail coming in from many interested female students. So imho there is a possibility for even both features to have been planned, because even though a player-to-NPC-romance system is straight forward, gather relationship points and at some point you unlock certain romantic interactions, look at e.g. Fallout 4, a dynamic relationship system between the NPC's themselves sounds workintesive, as I can't think of many games that had such a thing so far. Usually games are all programmed to be centered on the player and player interaction, not really creating a world, that would develop socially without any player interaction. The only example that comes to mind is maybe games like Mount & Blade: Bannerlord, where you're perfectly fine staying a mercenary and the noble clans do inter-marry and reproduce with each other without any interaction from you. And yeah although I liked playing the game, it seemed clear to me, also regarding the lore, that it was very odd that you could just break into houses in broad daylight and use Unforgivable curses without any repercussions. Lore-wise using any of them, atleast in Great Britain and Ireland, where the British Ministry of Magic is the acting wizard government, should send you for live to Azkaban. I see how that may be too extreme for a game, so designating it with a malus of 100 house points makes sense. In general I think the developers put many of the cut features in in a diminished form or hints. Like the companion system is only present in a few quests, so you basically have a tech demonstration as a foundation, that Avalanche could've integrated that across the entire game, if they would've had the chance. Or remember quests where you have to sneak in Hogwarts during the night, with prefects as Authority figures? I think it probably was planned that there is a Curfew at night, where students have to be in the common room and if you're not, you'd probably get House Points deducted, unless obviously you make yourself invisible. It also would give the whole Stealth Talent Tree a way higher importance, since otherwise you probably couldn't move about in Hogwarts all the time, if that would've been a thing. Playercharacters having a background story in the editor is clearly inspired by e.g. Mount & Blade and it totally fits to the current game, that the background of the character is simply unknown. There is a clear gap, that would've been filled by the players otherwise. And that characters would be prejudiced towards Ominis Gaunt makes sense (although it certainly is cruel to the child of such a family, who tries to change the ways of his family), because the Gaunts were a famous Dark Wizard Family. Even Voldemort stems from this family later down the line, so yeah, it seems lore-wise, that Ominis failed to change his family, maybe he only managed to pull this off for his branch of the family, if he got kids (I don't know if he was made up for the game or is a character that JKR thought of). And yeah, that some values are wrong or missing is just a hint of the features being cut, when you cut them, you stop working on them. Maybe e.g. Anne and Sebastian originally were not supposed to be twins, hence they got different birthdays, but then they cut the feature out and decided for dramatic purposes to make them twins. PS: And that there are vandalism and bully interactions... man if they would've had the chance, they would've made a remake of "Bully" in the JKR Wizarding World, but teenagers can be cruel, very realistic :D

It definitely seems like Avalanche Software wanted to go all out for this game, being their first independent project since WB acquired them, but were most likely pressed for time with the 2 delays and had to cut some things. Since HL was so successful, I'm sure they will bring some of these features into play in the inevitable sequel. It would be nice to get some of these in the current game, but only time will tell.
I absolutely agree and I think the ending of the game and Sebastain's quest definitely shows a sudden press for time. The ending is just so sudden it'd like a slap.

Just saw on reddit some share cut content files and they cutted alot of cool spells. I mean they cutted fiendfyre, vera verto, augementi, appiration..there is also some kind of strange spell in the slots which people say are definitely the patronus charm but an incorporeal version. Then a few transfiguration spells were also cut, can't remember the rest of spells but its alot. I hope they add these spells in future updates or dlc cause I mean fiendfyre is one epic spell. Yeah sure it is difficult to control but still its a badass spell.
@@w.c2255 cutted
well, production was slowed during Covid, and investors were impatient, I imagine. It’s unfortunate, but we may yet see an update, or even a sequel… hopefully 😂
I hope the rumored Directors Cut is being worked on at this very moment and adds all these cut features and hopefully many more stuff such as new spells and story dlcs in.
I started to feel so bad abount Onimis... Poor guy
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that some NPC hate each other? Like Natsai, what does that poor Amit did to have your hate? Ominis hating almost everyone! And Peeves being familiar with the player is an-almost-Fred-and-Georges-tiers! This table is just so fun!
Some of the friendships are interesting too. Like Sebastian is good friends with Amit. You'd never think! But they did spend five years together. It would be a really fun story to hear of how those two became friends.
@@ComedyLoverGirl Amit and Sebastian are friends? Whoa. Sebastian does defy many Slytherin stereotypes (he’s loyal and doesn’t care about losing) but it’s still the most popular guy being friends with one of the nerdiest guys (that trophy goes to that nerdy kid in Hufflepuff.) 😂
A popular guy like Sebastian is friends with a nerdy guy like Amit, a sweetheart like Ominis is misunderstood, Natty and Sebastian butt heads bc one is a goody two shoes
@@Angel_Auraa Who knows, maybe they actually became friends through studying together! Sebastian may not be as "nerdy" as Amit and is more distracted by, ahem, extracurriculars... But we know Sebastian's parents were professors and he loves to read, so maybe he became friends with Amit when they were both reading in the library.
Interestingly enough Proud Gryffindor Leander actually has better relationships with the Slytherins then minor Gryffindor Eric Northcott, who seems to hate almost everyone for sone reason, even the player.
If they don't cut companion. I'd give this game 10/10. I hope they add romance and companion in HL2
Welllppp you got your Romance wish granted!
@@onlyhannahfans HAULT CITIZEN! YOU MUST EXPLAIN YOURSELF BEFORE THE COUNCIL LMFAO WHAT DO YOU MEAN???
They know Sebastian (and to a lesser extent Ominis) are fan favourites and they know the fans want romance so don’t worry
@@onlyhannahfans whaatt?
@@Angel_Auraathe biggest issue though is most fans are adults now which mean the games will be attacked even more for no reason.
i dont think those were only npc to npc interactions. i really think they had a relationship building system for us but they took it out in fear of being canceled even more. BeCauSe MiNorS, even thought our MC is the same age as them. They just didnt want more controversy. cancel culture ruins everything
Heaven forbid that are literally mass murderers but having romance and holding hands with our romantic partner is taboo.
The sad part is that, hogwarts mystery did it pretty well and i dont think they got cancelled. They could’ve done the same thing for HL.
It's more reasonable they took it out due to time constraints and being unable to flesh it out in time. Games like Persona exist, for example
Hope somebody adds it back someday with custom voice lines from elven labs, be expensive in time and money tho
Have to agree. My friend and I came to this conclusion. We were kids when the books came out but now adults. :/ idk how it be handle in day and age. No one used to be offended cause it was two teens which are the characters, not adult (player) and teen.
Maybe if they did friend or romance choice option?
I love the game, it's all i ever wanted from this franchise since i was a kid, but it really does feel incomplete sometimes. Honestly, the only feature that i feel they really OWE us is the companion one (+a ravenclaw companion questline, it makes no sense that they cut out 1 house out of 4 from such a big thing in the game) cause it is heavily implied during the first hours of the gameplay. They add this, and it would be a 10/10 FOR ME.
the more I find out the game, the more incomplete it feels.
@@Midnight0Mistressfrrr I rated the game 8/10 and after watching this, it's a 5/10 but the devs don't really care what I rate it.
@@itzfrosted5199 it's because of those that make the decisions, if it came out in 2024-2025, it would be an amazing experience.
@@Midnight0Mistress Bad take.
Every game is like this. Rdr2 had plenty of cut content and so does every game. Cut content is pretty common in game development.
@@rcnemesis7645 i am aware. I worked in the gaming industry.
So strange Ominis is displayed as halfblood in the db... (№213 at 23:39) also Sallow twins have like nothing in common, even social status. Indeed, it hasn't been finished and still needs a plenty of work 😢
this! the info is mostly inaccurate/wrong
it also says ominis is a first year lol
Yes, I noticed those errors too. I believe what we're seeing here is an early iteration of the worldbuilding, before the story and characters were properly solidified. And because the content was cut, they never bothered to update it to fit with the released game.
One thing that bugged me right from the start was when the player character has to introduce themselves to three house mates of whom only one is considered to be your companion. Now it makes totally sense that the devs had originally planned to have you introduce yourself to the peeps that would stick with you throughout the game. Such a shame that they tossed this aside, probably because of lack of time. I would have preferred Garreth over Natsai and Ominis over Sebastian. I really hope that they will bring the other companions back into the game as they've had planned from the start!
you had me till "ominis over sebastian" how about both
Sebastian was tied to the main quest line how can you want Ominis over that 😅
@@wholethedogsout880 Fr hand them both over. sebastian is my lil dark arts bby but ominis needs a mf hug
I think Garreth could’ve been the second gryffindor companion but j think Samantha dale and ominus gaunt would’ve been better choices for companions than Everett and immelda
Yeah Everett as is has like nothing going for him other than that one time in the flying class you interact with him. Samantha is in the Accio game so thing and has her own side quest where you go to her family’s tomb. She seems more of a major character than Everett.
But with that being said, who knows what they originally intended with Everett. He may have originally had more going for him.
I disagree. Everett is the only Ravenclaw in the common room during introductions (and generally) who likes a commotion and who likes to play around and is not good at studying. He also plants a stink bomb during the Ravenclaw introductions, because his targets appear to be quite stuck up (which is apparently the biggest flaws in Ravenclaws, “being stuck up and hate to be in the wrong”).
He also is a rule breaker and it is hinted at, that his family or he is pretty poor. He also seems to be a good flyer and in some sort of competition with Imelda but is limited by Kogawa and the fact that he cannot afford a broom.
The “after Ranrok” and the “true end”cut scene also hint that there was way more story planned for Everett as he is shown when Weasley says “the most loyal of friends” during the memorial speech and we see him copying Amit and worried infront of the Boggart cabinet after Natty.
I think Ominus is best left at Hogwarts.
Not sure how well it would look if we dragged around a blind person to go fight a troll.😅
I think Everett n ominous
@@annaavertho4944 Like to study and have an open mind are the main characteristics of the Ravenclaw house. Hermione loves to study but hate to admit your mistakes, her arrogance was one of the things that made the Sorting Hat send her to Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw. If Everett existed in the Harry Potter books he never go to Ravenclaw if he was not good at studying, it's a shame the devs weren't more careful when they were creating the characters
I love the fact that the professors have beef with each other. Kogawa and Sharp would have been an amazing duo, I can only imagine the way they shit talk some of the other professors
The game should have ben built around the point school system and then everything around it. They scrapped the best part
Uhhh… Yeah “give romantic gift” is usually how you go from friends to boyfriend/girlfriend in RPGs
i think of persona royale lol
Omg I know sql. I am so jealous that you can do this data mining. There is just so much there.
Also, This is what I was expecting of a Hogwarts game, creating friends and rivals.
I feel absolutely robbed of this more complex relationship dynamic.
*sigh* Maybe they’ll reintroduce it into the game…
Oh god, do i ever hope so. I hope Ominis plays a bigger part too
@@Midnight0MistressI think he’ll play a bigger part in the sequel because Anne ran away and he seems to have feelings for her. He might find her before Sebastian does.
1:57 i feel that we were initially supposed to get more than 2 companions per house (probably the 3 you need to introduce yourself per each house + the 1 main companion per house that has a questline).
Or maybe even all the named students, after you complete their side quests.
The fact that these files exist and that the game is moddable means that even if the devs never add these things later on, *someone* will. Look at games like the Elder Scrolls series. Morrowind was released in 2001 and people are STILL modding it even now in 2023. Modders keep games alive for literal decades and smart devs realize that.
I will seriously be willing to pay for it🥺
I was thinking about how cool it would have been to have romance options or a morality system in the game.
But the fact that it looks like all of this appears to be cut content (vs not existing at all) hits me like a truck. Dammit WB you idiots!
It's strange how some of the companions actually dislike the MC. Like Amit and Natty.
Nah they better add romance. they milked my pockets for Hogwarts mystery on mobile, They had romance there. They better add it later.
You're absolute genious! Thank you so much for the info!!
And you're right about some info are questionable.
23:29 on Ominis info, stating he's good at potion?? And he's a halfblood?!!!
I thought he's a pureblood and bad in potion lolll
def not halfblood considering the gaunts are inbred
Yeah the information is false on many of those counts. Sebastian and Anne being twins they cannot have different birth seasons or social classes.
It's not just Ominis, but multiple students with wrong info. It says Amit is good at DADA, when we know from the Goblin mine mission, that he is clearly not, plus Professor Hecat is thinking about ways through which she could improve Amit in his dueling. Amit should have had Potions/Astronomy as his excelled subject. Then it says Garreth is good at herbology, when in the game he isn't even that class, but we know Garreth is good at potions. Natsai is shown to be good at Beasts here, when in the game she isn't even at the class, but Natsai is known to be good at Charms. Samantha Dale is a Muggleborn here, when in the game she isn't. She comes from a well known Wizarding family. They even have got most of the Professors wrong.
I wish they would add these features (a DLC perhaps?)
That sounds like so much of a better game. Hogwarts Legacy is the most dead open world game I've ever played. It I wasn't a huge Harry Potter fan, the game would be no fun.
Having no consequences for being evil makes no sense. Even the very first GTA back in 1997 made the cops chase you.
This is fascinating! Must be quite frustrating for the devs to not be able to implement so much of their vision into the final game. Likely due to executive meddling and the game being rushed out the door because WB wanted to see if it would be profitable. I question how accurate or applicable some of the data here is though, since at the end looking through the character database there are some very clear errors, like Poppy Sweeting being listed as a third-year, Anne and Sebastian having different birthdays, or Ominis being listed as halfblood. I think a lot of this data was probably from a much earlier iteration of the worldbuilding, before the game's story and characters were properly finalised. And since they were cut from the game the mistakes were never corrected.
They even have a lot of professors wrong! Satyavati Shah is shown as Halfblood here, when in the game she is a Muggleborn. Professor Hecat is shown to be potions professor, when in the game she is a DADA professor. Ronan is shown as beasts prof here when he in the game is charms prof. Garlic is shown to be Halfblood and beasts profesor, when in the game, she is a Muggleborn and Herbology professor.
CRIME?? THEFT N PICKPOKETING N WHATEVER?? LMAO IM IMAGINING THIS GAME LIKE A MIX OF SKYRIM N GTA RN
Combination Red Dead Redemption 2 and Dragon Age/Mass Effect would be better
Damn. THIS is the game we wanted
They had no Issue adding romance in their other hogwarts game for mobile ughhh
Developing a mobile game is drastically easier than a full fledged game like this
Sad that Ominis and Garrett weren't supposed to be companions
Dude they should've kept the morality system thing! Like ofc -100 for murder is reaching they could've kept the getting in trouble for: skipping classes, bullying, falling asleep in class and etc. Plus I really wanted to interact with the other students more so the choicest of befriending them or yk bullying them shouldn't have been taken away either because that's canon things both in the Harry Potter world and irl especially high school! The companion thing would've been cool too and the extra help would've been nice because I be struggling sometimes
merlin, i want to see what this game could be with all of its concepts fleshed out and finished so BAD.
I DID MY WAITING
12 YEARS OF IT
...
thank you for this! very insightful... i'm just sad they left out all of this, so much potential 😢
Thing i find interesting. Both Anne and Ominis based on the data shared a birthday which are Winter 13. Both are considered upperclass wizard
While Sebastian has seperate birthday Summer 1 and registered as lower classed wizard
Thus my theory is Anne were originally supposed to be Ominis's Twins and not Sebastian 🤔🤔🤔
😮 and if Anne Is the sister of Ominis and not Seb?😮😮😮😅
This video deserves way more views.
se faranno hogwarts legacy 2 per davvero, io sarei contenta se il sistema di moralità fosse integrato questa volta e avere una costruzione del rapporto con i personaggi companions migliorato, più o meno come in Hogwarts mistery (ma non con le gobbiglie) fino a, se vogliamo, creare una storia romantica con un personaggio di nostra scelta.
Infine la competizione con le altre case per vincere la coppa sarebbe davvero fantastico come anche il senso del proibito (ad esempio, girare per hogwarts di notte e/o andare nella foresta proibita)
Comunque Hogwarts Legacy 2 si farà è confermato al 100% ma non sappiamo quasi nulla riguardo a ciò che avrà è triste tuttavia 23:31 noto diversi errori sarà una coincidenza/errore?
I was curious about the player backstory and decided to check, and my Ravenclaw character's values were the exact same as your character's. Wealthy Pureblood born in Spring.
Wow! All I gotta say is.... Put all these features in the next game, Avalanche! Along with Quidditch and give each house it's own unique storyline!
5:20 if you know what he means
After watching the vid I wish i didn't know about all of the features cut...
fucking hell i get losing points by casting the Unforgivables but fucking Confringo??? considering how often that spell was needed to open and clear pathways, Merlin Trials And all the enemies u have to face especially Inferi.... that would have been just downright unfair.
all the HL fandom is quite dissapointed we didn't got the romance option, even more dissapointed to see that in hogwarts mystery you can date people.
Not all they're still underage💀 I don't want to date or flirt with anyone underage even if it's just a game
So you’re tellin me this game was supposed to be like red dead redemption & gta? 💀
Good thing is that these unused voice clips is that leaves some material for the possible sequel.
I think Social Heritage was meant only for how NPC react to your character. The game takes place during a time when the Blacks and other purebloods of the wizarding world were discriminating against mixed bloods. I think the system was meant to immerse you more into the game. For instance if your Slytherin your a pureblood and therefore would be seen in a favorable light by other pureblood while mixed would probably be less friendly or rude to you. It doesn't seem like something of much use to the player to change, more something tied to the house you choose to immerse you more into the life of your chosen character. Maybe the wealth status would determine a starting currency amount but other than that it seems like a system to tell Npc how they should react to the player
I’m not really surprised that the game got cut as the one we have is pretty amazing and you can really tell that the devs respected the original text. If their development time was able to be extended perhaps we could have a even better product story wise.
20:47 Aesop Sharp TEEN? Hello? I always got the feeling they wanted to do more with some of the NPCs/Professors, like Sharp. Dunno if that really indicates there was going to be more outside of voice lines, but even still, I'm even upset that they took those out
There's a teen model of Sharp hidden in the game: th-cam.com/video/zYU4v102gJw/w-d-xo.html
There’s also quidditch, especially since they’re a small quidditch pitch in the south of the map it makes sense they had plans for implementing the game. Also they make a point about sneaking around at night so you don’t get caught. However after basically 2 quests that feature this, you’re free to roam the castle at night.
What the hell???
Why wasn't this in the game originally?????
Blood status is integral to the Harry Potter World...
They did keep a lot of NPC comments about Sebastian and MC spending time together which I’m relieved about
Adelaide Oakes and Garreth Weasley or Nellie Oggspire
i hope that maybe since this is doing so well they'll work on bringing these things back in this game
Oh, this is feeding my soul. How did you create a database for this? (I don't know SQL as well as I'd like.)
You did such a wonderful job!
holy hell Fiendfyre was supposed to be available
From what I understand from this video, the game's systems were supposed to in theory be much more complex and feature rich than what we have now, but possibly due to all of the disruption between now and its development, and alongside WB pushing for a sooner release, the game suffered as a result, leaving us with a great experience, but a mediocre game...
Just a guess, but I think the other companions for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff would probably be Cressida Blume for Gryffindor and probably Lenora Everleigh for Hufflepuff!
Herbert is the student you meet at the care of magical creatures lesson
Cant wait for the directors cut
20:40
If I remember correctly there’s an unused model of a teenage Professor Sharp somewhere in the files. I didn’t realize until now that the files also show that teen Sharp has different relationships/friendships with some of the other professors.
I wish they left whatever this was in the game, because now I’m curious lol
Which means… our character is an unknown pure blood to the list of 28. Which isn’t impossible cause families could be in hiding.
It makes sense for Black to allow a 5th year randomly too then
Big love for the devs but the game felt so incomplete compared what they said was possible. 40 hours of gameplay is not that much for a huge triple a game
YES DATA EXPLORING IN SQL
I thought Garreth would be a companion.. :/
He can be. When Ive used the companion mod, he has some lines, like when I hop on my broom. I think there are 3 from each house.
Same. I had a feeling Sebastian would pestwr me how i beat him and i wasnt surw about natty.
My first playthrough was a ravenclaw. I wanted to go witj someone from my house. And i wish you could do real shopping with them too! If i had come with Samantha, she would comment when we visitrd pippins shop, magic neep and the other herb shop. Everett would have mentioned something about zonkos and sponwitches. And so on.
Weird how our companion deserts us to stand on the middle of town.
What if we were actually cornwred by rookwood?
i find it interesting how imelda isn't listed in database of how npcs feel about each other...hmm...
I assume she was added much later during the development. Not only her but also other characters like Zenobia Noke, Priscilla Wakefield, Benny Stokes and Sacharissa Tugwood aren't on the list
I thought it was funny when I was getting the helm back for that Goblin.. and I said "This seems dangerous.. I think I should go get some help first" and then he's just like "NONSENSE! Theres no time!!!" lol
Disappointing that this wasn't a part of their recent update.
A Director’s cut is rumored to be in the works so maybe the cut content can come back that way.
How can Aesop Sharp be pureblood when he’s young and change to halfblood when he’s a teen (in school)? I don’t think it changes if you or a relative gets married, right? Was a muggle relative discovered or something? If that’s the case, I have a hard time seeing him and Professor Black as friends, though Black may convince himself that Sharp is actually pureblooded. Or perhaps Black became more concerned with blood status as he aged, but was friends with Sharp before and sort of grandfathered him in (a “he’s one of the good ones” sort of thing).
Then there’s the interaction Sharp has with the MC disguised as Black. Sharp seems kind of subservient or formal. I think maybe they changed their minds about the NPC’s relationships a bit, because they don’t seem like friends there. His (short, albeit) conversation with Matilda Weasley didn’t seem like one between rivals, either, though because of some of Ronen’s comments I can see those two being rivals due to their views on teaching.
Interesting note: he was, according to this table, pureblooded and lower class when young and halfblooded and upper class when “teen” and adult. Family moved up in the world of money and down in blood status? Adopted by rich halfbloods, perhaps?
Another interesting note: In the game, I noticed He refers to Professor Hecat as “Professor Hecat” in a letter in Hecat’s room, Professor Fig as “Fig” when talking to him, and Professor Weasley as “Matilda” when talking to her. I wonder why that is.
I think maybe with the economic status and blood status differences are due to the devs deciding between two different options for his character and deciding on halfblood and upper class, due to adult Sharp being halfblood and upper class
i honestly wish there was more social interactions in the game. like when i was in school and i’m sure when everyone else was too, there was drama and bullying and shit talking behind each other’s backs. not to mention, getting dragged into drama for no reason…they’re literally high school sophomore age in the game so, i was really expecting some craziness.
oh, it’d be nice too if we actually knew our parents and family and if we celebrated holidays in the game by going to our family’s house or by celebrating with friends.
and also, we were supposed to have animagus forms??? that would’ve been so cool omfg
I know this is OLD but how did you get the “DEV_” to pop up? I’m looking myself and I don’t see them 😭
incredible! thanks for sharing this
great work thank you~!

This would have made HL so much better imo
I suspect Gareth might have been a possible companion.
Did anyone else notice that the database listed Ominis as a Half-blood?
Yeah that can’t be right since the Gaunts inbreed. He can’t be a half-blood if his family tree is more like a family line.
😅
@@Angel_Auraa more like a family circle than a line. Haha.
my theory is that this infro, if it isn't just an error, is that we were going to go to the gaunt house, we have files for it, and find out the aminis was a bastard or something
funny that all the slytherin are upper class assholes, these devs watched to much OC
Some of this stuff would look like it could have been like a gta style game like robbing people and stuff lol
I don't understand why they hate Omnius so much😂 I can't say he's my favourite character, but he's a very nice, kind, caring guy who cares about his friends, a totally positive mate. Speaking of favourite characters, I don't understand why they made Sharp a negative character in the eyes of the students. He is literally the embodiment of that teacher whose lessons you go to with enthusiasm, even though his subject is boring and difficult.
I wonder does azkaban exists in the map ? When i used free camera mod i spent days searching for it like mini box or something but didn't find i even found the separate trails under the map but still no azkaban...
Maybe for the sequels

Is there any chance you could comment with exact instructions on what you did to get into the files needed to put the unused content back into the game please? It would help me greatly, because I could copy and paste instructions into Microsoft word, print them out and then follow them!
Which unused content, specifically? Because it’s not possible to add all of them back to the game, and I'm not a mod creator so I wouldn't know how to anyway. As far as I'm aware, the ONLY major cut/unused feature that that can be added back to the game (via mods) is the companion feature, and even then it’s not a complete feature.
I assume you’re not familiar with modding? I suggest going to NexusMods.com and making an account there. They have a lot of mods for you to peruse through, see if any of them interests you. Here's a link to the Hogwarts Legacy section: www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/popularalltime
If you want to add the companion feature back to the game, for example, you’ll need to install these two mods:
1. AnyTimeCompanion: www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/841?tab=description
2. Blueprint Apparate Modloader: www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/56?tab=description
Each mod will have different installation instructions (see their respective “Description” tabs), so I can't possibly copypaste all of them here. You'll need to read through the instructions very, very carefully - print them out if you like so it’s easier for you to follow them. If you run into issues installing any of the mods, you can search/ask for help on the “Posts” tab of the mod(s), there's a good chance that at least one other person will have the same issue(s) as you.
A good rule of thumb is to backup your game files and save files before attempting to install mods - you’ll never know what will go wrong.
@@GrandTheftDiamonds the companions, and the maxima spells would be helpful!
Is modifying the SQL files how the mods are made? I know already there is a mod for modifying Student NPC's uniforms. But could I modify the SQL files to sat give everyone the Capricious Vest uniform for example
Why did this original video not even show up when I searched for “hogwarts legacy morality system”? Other videos covering this got way more views, and that creator was yappjng too much, had to exit that video
Imho, since the NPC interactions with each other seem scripted to me, as they repeat, I don't think that there are dynamic NPC-to-NPC interactions in the game right now.
At best this what a planned feature, would've made every new playthrough a bit more unique, but I think the better explanation would be, that it was a planned feature for player-to-NPC interaction.
I mean even right now in the game there are hints, like when you finish the whole quest chain with Poppy and have your final talk with her, she suggests (at least to male player characters, It was just my first playthrough) that you should have a butter beer at some point together.
Heck, even between adults that could be interpreted, after all they've been through together and having shared interests, as a semi-hidden attempt to basically ask for a date and wizards and witches or not, we're still talking about hormone-loaded 15-/16-year olds here, basically the age were first relationships develop usually.
And there are also unnamed female students discussing how some other male student (none of the male ones we know as far as I remember, just a random name guy) is so handsome and he probably has mail coming in from many interested female students.
So imho there is a possibility for even both features to have been planned, because even though a player-to-NPC-romance system is straight forward, gather relationship points and at some point you unlock certain romantic interactions, look at e.g. Fallout 4, a dynamic relationship system between the NPC's themselves sounds workintesive, as I can't think of many games that had such a thing so far.
Usually games are all programmed to be centered on the player and player interaction, not really creating a world, that would develop socially without any player interaction.
The only example that comes to mind is maybe games like Mount & Blade: Bannerlord, where you're perfectly fine staying a mercenary and the noble clans do inter-marry and reproduce with each other without any interaction from you.
And yeah although I liked playing the game, it seemed clear to me, also regarding the lore, that it was very odd that you could just break into houses in broad daylight and use Unforgivable curses without any repercussions.
Lore-wise using any of them, atleast in Great Britain and Ireland, where the British Ministry of Magic is the acting wizard government, should send you for live to Azkaban. I see how that may be too extreme for a game, so designating it with a malus of 100 house points makes sense.
In general I think the developers put many of the cut features in in a diminished form or hints. Like the companion system is only present in a few quests, so you basically have a tech demonstration as a foundation, that Avalanche could've integrated that across the entire game, if they would've had the chance.
Or remember quests where you have to sneak in Hogwarts during the night, with prefects as Authority figures? I think it probably was planned that there is a Curfew at night, where students have to be in the common room and if you're not, you'd probably get House Points deducted, unless obviously you make yourself invisible.
It also would give the whole Stealth Talent Tree a way higher importance, since otherwise you probably couldn't move about in Hogwarts all the time, if that would've been a thing.
Playercharacters having a background story in the editor is clearly inspired by e.g. Mount & Blade and it totally fits to the current game, that the background of the character is simply unknown. There is a clear gap, that would've been filled by the players otherwise.
And that characters would be prejudiced towards Ominis Gaunt makes sense (although it certainly is cruel to the child of such a family, who tries to change the ways of his family), because the Gaunts were a famous Dark Wizard Family.
Even Voldemort stems from this family later down the line, so yeah, it seems lore-wise, that Ominis failed to change his family, maybe he only managed to pull this off for his branch of the family, if he got kids (I don't know if he was made up for the game or is a character that JKR thought of).
And yeah, that some values are wrong or missing is just a hint of the features being cut, when you cut them, you stop working on them.
Maybe e.g. Anne and Sebastian originally were not supposed to be twins, hence they got different birthdays, but then they cut the feature out and decided for dramatic purposes to make them twins.
