Side question why troons are complaining about this game again? Three broomsticks is owned by one. Just listen to her voice and tell me with a hand on your heart that isn't the case.

Short Version, someone feel free to correct me, I might not even be thinking of the right time they declared Rowling Public Enemy #1 - Rowling was against Trans Men in Women’s Prisons, and I believe referred to them as “Perverts in Dresses” over on Twitter. The Terminally Online Twitter Troons haven’t forgiven her for this, yet still refuse to read another book. Therefore, anything with her name on it is verboten.

Also, to quote Keef’s video - because it’s easier to log into Twitter and complain about a video game than to actually leave the house and protest any of Rowling’s other, likely far larger revenue streams (see - the cut she apparently gets from Universal Studios tickets). Despite Twitter ironically now also being owned by someone the Troons think is Public Enemy #1 - look that title is shared a LOT…

I recall Null stated that the game doesn't acknowledges the player characters gender. I know that a lot of people think that this maybe due to woke reasons but I think the answer is actually less sinister. As someone who makes mods for games it is a pain in the ass to have NPC's do gender specific dialogue. You have to get the voice actors to do multiple takes for each line and program each of the dialogue for the NPC's as well as program the NPC to know that this character is female or male. Everyone knows that WB is in the hole right now. Their new CEO is doing major budget cuts to all of WB's products. I wouldn't be surprised if Hogwarts Legacy got hit with those cuts. To save time and money on voice acting and programming they probably decided to just have the player character be referred to by gender neutral pronouns. Even trannies would love nothing more and get the biggest gender euphoric boner if a character in the game referred to their tranny character by their preferred pronouns.

Yeah, I was thinking that it was a lazy decision with the bonus of being woke. I think the male and female character models are animated the same as well

Alright, obligatory.

I'm curious enough to buy it, but I don't want to deal with the backlash. Some people I know IRL have my steam and hate rowling.

Where can I buy it?

This is why we're where we're at. Afraid to play a normal ass fucking video game...
 
The intro is kind of a drag. I wish games like these gave you some different options for starting scenarios - I'd imagine on a replay this would feel like a real slog.
 
800k now.

Doubt it'll beat Cyberpunk or Elden Ring but it'd be pretty funny.

So, there's a side quest where you polyjuice yourself to impersonate the head master and comedically interact with people who know him. It's fine, but I feel like it would be funnier if we actually met the guy for longer than five minutes.

Leads into a pretty cool quest where you get transported into the Deathly Hallows tale though:

Got to where you first realize there’s a whole world outside of hog warts and hogsmeade - not bad. They let you take quests way above your level if you want to try. I’m level 12 with a 24 quest to beat a troll down. I think I’ll come back.

What are you afraid that these trannies will do to you? Also why would you associate with trannies?

I suppose so. I'm lucky I'm a bitter, jaded boomer who can choose who I work with.

According to the wiki, butterbeer is basically non-alcoholic or has little to no alcohol in it: https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Butterbeer

It was always offered to the under 18 students from fairly early on in the books, my assumption is it is meant to be more like ginger beer and given Rowling's age I'd be unsurprised if Enid Blyton was not a factor in her using that sort of name for her own work. Ginger beer predates a lot of soft drinks coming from the 18th century and all. Though I am now wondering if Butterbeer came first in the Potter universe based off when this game is set.

For Americans it's like root beer. There might be beer in the name but there's no alcohol in the drink.

For the various people who manage to find alcoholic ginger beer in their search engine well done. Those do exist. That's not the norm.

It's most likely based on real life small beer. Common in the middle ages, very low percentage of alcohol, so it was drank by everyone mainly when access to bacteria-free water was limited as the brewing process killed all potential dangers.

While from a historical perspective you might be correct ginger beer was incredibly common as something mentioned in UK children's literature of a certain era. Not quite as common as something like juice for example but enough that if I dug into the close to 800 books Enid Blyton did I would willingly bet 25% of them reference it. I would also be very depressed because these days many of them have been rewritten to remove the corporal punishment and inexplicably change the names of Dick and Fanny to something more appropriate.

Pretty interesting that, had no idea ginger beer was a common reference in british literature. I guess either way it's smart to use 'beer', so you can insinuate that the kids are having a drink without tying it necessarily to alcohol. As you mentioned, ginger beer, root beer etc.
 
Setting aside the discourse and politics, are models in this game kind of wack or is it just me? I was watching cutscenes and it looks like the upper parts of peoples faces just stop functioning in some scenes.

Yea, it is not as bad as say Mass Effect:Andromeda. They are quite a bit off. The face models need touching up. Could be fixed in a future patch. Some of them give off the uncanny valley.
