If you're buying the game because you want to and want to spite people who are bullying you into not, that's based. If you cry about it and act like you're being violated afterwards, that's fucking gay.
I don't see how it could be more than doubling, since not every single line is gendered. Particularly in this game, there aren't that many instances where people refer to your character in the third person. But whenever they do, the gender-neutral "they" sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm not a game developer, but I feel recording a couple hundred (at most) extra lines would have been worth it to avoid that.
I meant for those particular lines it's more than doubled (since rather than fishing for one good take you need two that are good in the same way).
As I see it it's a 2 for 1, they can virtue signal and at the same time save a few bucks. Like others have said, I don't think it would have been that many lines since in most situations, gendered language is just not needed, but when it does, it's VERY noticeable. In those cases they either phony up the cash for some extra lines (and while at it, add some extra linest hat are sex relevant), have a catch all word ("you are the mighty kalamazoo", "the kalamazoo eludes us" and so on) or bend the language in half and use retarded inclusive language, which is sadly the world we live in now. At least we know that a "set your pronouns" feature will hopefully never be a thing when it applies to voice acting for the same reason of saving some cash.
Hufflepuff's the quiet guy in the room that just gets shit done.
Yeah they're like wizard 9-5ers but they've got the worst color. Piss yellow? Fuck that.
Can't raid JP vtubers' streams if you can't speak their language even though troons/the twatterati have tried cancelling the bigger Japanese names before with little to no success.
Ravenclaw for much the same reason. It was that or Slytherin and Ravenclaw didn't get much play in the books. I want to see all of the common rooms, Hufflepuff and Slytherin are covered by people I see on youtube, and I'm going to guess Gryffindor is the same as it was in the movies.
I went Slytherin. Also, it was worth it to do the "collect 16 house tokens" quest that opens up the chest in the common room of your houose. You get a blinged out cloak for your house and the Slytherin one looks badass as fuck.
I picked Hufflepuff just because I don't vibe with any of the others. There seems to be a main story related achievement with "do x as a (house)" and for me (on Steam) it's currently at 4.7% which seems quite low to me, but I have no idea how high it is for other houses.
I've seen a little ad mat in front of the games section in Media Expert in Poland advertising Hogwarts Legacy, albeit with a localized title. It was also in stock for Xbox Series.
