Yah know...I really hope they fix some of the glitches soon Nothing as bad as going into a cut-scene, hearing a character talk but not seeing them at all...or seeing their floating robes and hair (looking at you Ravenclaw boy) I've not experienced any bugs or glitches so far thankfully. I'm on PC playing on low settings and I'm just glad it's running smooth.

Oh, for everyone who has played at least until potions class. Can I plant more than one type of seed in other pots? Or is it I can only plant one seed for one plot. The reason I ask is because I am looking for Mandrake and have gone to the 3 herbalist vendors I know of, and checked the herbology section in Hogwarts and can't find any. I need the Mandrake to do the various Merlin's trials. What's a good way to grow our own alchemical ingredients besides buying them? In the scrolls and tomes shop there are scrolls that will unlock tables to be summoned in the room of requirements, once you have access to it. There are different types of tables with different number of pots. None of the Merlin trials require mandrakes. How are you use them? I will look for the Scrolls and Tomes shop. As for the Merlin trials I got the name of the plant wrong. I am still learning the names of plants, spells, Hogwart's Schools, npc names, and locations.

Some of the side quests are pretty dark stories. I just did one where a guy was turned into a Inferius by Ashwinders so I had to destroy him and tell his sister afterward. She's started to cry a lot. As a note, Ancient Magic (the active that use the meter) can one shot bosses. It might not work on all the bosses, but that one had a special boss bar still. Also, I just learned that we don't learn Petrificus Totalus after searching on the web. It's the "stealth takedown" option if you sneak up to an enemy with Dillusionment. I wish I learned that earlier. I never get close enough enemies to see the option I guess. Yeesh, I looked at the spoiler and that quest does sound dark. I have not done that quest yet. Oh, for everyone who has played at least until potions class. Can I plant more than one type of seed in other pots? Or is it I can only plant one seed for one plot. The reason I ask is because I am looking for Mandrake and have gone to the 3 herbalist vendors I know of, and checked the herbology section in Hogwarts and can't find any. I need the Mandrake to do the various Merlin's trials. What's a good way to grow our own alchemical ingredients besides buying them? Edit: Forget about my question I got access to the Room of Requirements and made my own potion crafting stations.

No, you don't have to keep the gear thought (the transmog system remember the look of all the gear you found). The best is to follow the story until you get access to Hogsmead to sell stuff after that point you can Floo there to sell your stuff when you want (outside of being in a dungeon mission). Then follow the story until you do the quest about Merlin's trial, since those allow you to expend your gear inventory size. hm...got it, thanks ^^ Once you get access to Hogsmeade you can quickly gain a small fortune by selling ooff excess gear. As for me although I never read any of the books nor saw any of the movies I've been enjoying the game. Hogwarts exactly how I thought the College of Winterhold would be in Skyrim. Also the transmog feature is great this should be a feature of every rpg in my opinion.

I never read the books nor watched any of the movies
Say what now? I didn't think there was anyone left who hadn't read/seen Harry Potter books/movies! Yep, I am one of them. When the films came out it came out around the same time as the LOTR trilogy, and I was in the LOTR camp so I never payed attention to the HP films. Although I always did like the concept of a school of wizardry. But aside from that I knew next nothing about the HP world.

That's what happens to the terminally online, they are unable to separate fiction from reality and think they are fighting some great crusade.
The game is a massive success to the point even mainstream media is acknowledging it despite the backlash.
Hogwarts Legacy breaks record before official release, despite controversy Yeah, when I checked the Steam forums while researching the game the atmosphere on that forum was extremely toxic. So I only come here now for information and questions.

I've played and enjoyed the first XCom, but I have no regrets buying Midnight Suns. So close now to having Hulk on my team. I've just been trying to max friendships so I can get everyone's Legendary power and outfits. I primarily want to unlock Wolverine's legendary power and outfit. I aso been doing a ton of side missions. Yeah I don't either apparently Venom is going to be the next DLC but they haven't said when he's coming yet. So our favourite Act 1 slimeball is ou rnext DLC hero. I'll probabl yasv edoin ghis mission until I hit Act 2 though as it makes sense t opla yit then given we spend the majority of Act 1 fighting him befoer dropping a church bell on his head. Yeah Hulk's fun t ouse thouh he doesn' thave as many cards as the others but that's I think partiall ybecause we get him late in the game. But if yo uwan tsomething smashed the greenguy is perfec tfor it. I would suggest equipping his Always Angr ycard alngside his tauntin groa rcard though onc eyo uunlock it as tha twill help you keep him aslive as he's practically unkillable with those 2 cards in the deck and once yo uunlock his Ultimate ability Worldbreaker he's practically a 1 man smashing machine. Yeah, while playing Midnight Sun's I am thinking on future playthroughs and think I will replay the game once all the dlc are released so I won't burn out on the game. I like Venom, but like you I am waiting for Storm she's one of my favorite X-Men. Thank you on the tips on how to best use Hulk.

I bought the game last night and played until I got to the school and did the ceremony. I picked the default male and named him Alistair Ravenclaw. He is apart of Griffindor I think they are called. I am on PC and have had no performance issues. Although I meet every recommended requirement except for raytracing, it was recommended on the Hogwarts Legacy Steam forum to lower graphical settings. So I did that and the game has been smooth and still looks great. When I saw the school and uniforms I remembered this American Dad episode where Roger tricks Steve into thinking he's been recruited into Hogwarts. For those who don't understand Spanish when Steve keeps saying "lavate las manos" he's actually saying "watsh your hands" in Spanish. Oh yeah spoiler: Is that goblin supposed to be the main villain? Because I could not take him seriously. It reminded of Bethesda with Oblivion originally Mankar Camoran was supposed to be a Bosmer (Wood Elf), and if you remember how they were portrayed in that game they were comical.

Yeah I think that's wha tdoes a lo tof games in hal fth etime. I presonall yfeel the ydid a great job with MS and I actuall yenjo yit moer than Xcom. Xcom is great a s we htough as in many ways it kinda erminds me of old games I used t oenjo yplaying in the Police Quest games. Wher yo umanage SWAT teams t oclear ou tbuildings and that which were games I was playing abou t20-30 years ago. Obviousl ybetter looking now but a similar idea. Bu tthis was around the time I started PC gaming I've played and enjoyed the first XCom, but I have no regrets buying Midnight Suns. So close now to having Hulk on my team. I've just been trying to max friendships so I can get everyone's Legendary power and outfits. I primarily want to unlock Wolverine's legendary power and outfit.

sjsharp2010 Yeah, most XCom fans were expecting the same type of game again. I have noticed over the years that die hard fans of video game franchise always want the same type of game, and if a developer want to try something new they are slammed by the fanatics. A good example is the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow series. Die hard CV fanatics slammed the series because it was not the same game that has been released over and over again for more than 20 years. I bought Hogwarts Legacy last night and played a bit until I got to the school. Although I never read the books nor watched any of the movies what attracted me was the magic aspect and open world gameplay. I haven't got that far so can't give a rating yet just did the introduction.

Yea h Kassandra's my plan too when I eventually get round to it. Now I'm done with Midnight Suns it's back to my sports games for me starting with a bit of PGA tou rand Fifa as I'm in the mood for a bit of golf and football. Afte that it'll be Forza Horizon and following that will be m yfirs tHogwarts and Forspoken playthrough's. I'll probably squeeze in what's left of my ME trilogy run as well at som epoint in there maybe my DAI one as well. I don't know when I'll come back to Midnight Suns right now but that likely depends on what mood I'm in and when the next DLC releases atm. I did like Deadpool's thoug heven i fhe's not m yfavourite Marvel character. Right now as much as I enjoy Midnight Suns I wantt opla ysomething other than that as it's really been the onl ygame I've played s ofar this year I'm ready to play something else ideally something with a bit more action. Yeah, I think I am getting close to the end of Midnight Suns which I am sad to see end, but I have over 90 hours invested in that game so it's also a bit of relief that it's almost over. I'm thinking about buying Hogwarts Legacy although I never read the books nor know any of the settings history and lore. All I know it's a magic based open world rpg and that's enough for me. Last year I played the Witcher 3 for the first time and that game made many references to the books and I still enjoyed it. But yeah Midnight Suns was great even though most XCom fans complain about it a lot on Steam.

Considering the game is set like 100 years before Harry Potter, I don't thinking reading the books or seeing the films is required. There are a lots of references, but it works as worldbuilding for newcomers. It's always going to be more amazing for fans thought, because of all the little details. I think the real question is more if you like: - playing a teenager in high school - puzzles (the game has a ton, from various type of riddles to physical based ones where you need to move things with spells) - action combat with counters and dodging required (it's not hard on normal and there is a story mode) - 10+ hours tutorial section (that's how long it takes before the game really opens up, but the Hogwarts castle is so huge that it's probably a good thing) - collecting things...there is a lots of collection and a lots of side quests are of the "fetch" type. - weird and British - 1890s aesthetics Sounds good I may buy it, since I enjoy magic focused games. I will think about it and see. Thank you for the in depth reply.

Jeremiah12LGeek I highly recommend the Shivering Isles expansion. It is single-handedly in my opinion the best expansion Bethesda has ever made. It takes place in the Oblivion realm the Shivering Isles ruled by the Mad God Sheogorath. You can either complete the Oblivion main quest or start the Shivering Isles right away. Knights of the Nine is another expansion but smaller. I never played it so I can't say much about it. The Vile Lair is a must have if you play as a Dark Brotherhood member (the best faction in the vanilla game).

What is your favorite Star Wars game? Despite this being an unofficial BioWare forum my favorite SW game is Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Like I've said many times in my opinion that game had a better protagonist, better companions, better villains, a better lead writer, and although the game was released incomplete better story. May be an unpopular opinion now, but I've been a fan of Chris Avellone's writing since Planescape: Torment. The Exile and The Nameless One are two of my favorite protagonists in gaming. The problem is like Mass Effect: Andromeda the story was left unfinished. I know there's the restoration mod but it still leaves some unanswered questions like "what happened to Bao Dur?"

Thank you for the explanation. I played a bit of Origins but was confused on how to best approach situations. Like I said Origin, Odyssey, and Valhalla are such huge departures from the classic AC games that I thought the games were meant to be played as a in your face warrior. My favorite part of AC games is the stealth. I own Odyssey but I mainly bought that game for the remaster of AC3 which was included in a Steam bundle. In the future I'll retry Origins. Chronologically speaking which game comes first timeline wise Origins or Odyssey? You can totally play "mostly" stealth but some of the abilities facilitate it differently without just having to do 100% just sneaking around. I actually found it to be a lot of fun. Here's a video of me taking down a fort if you want to have a look in "mainly stealth" Valhalla I didn't do a lot of stealth I am embraced the Viking way. As always thanks for the explanation and video. I have no problem if these newer AC games were more in your face. There's just some moments were being stealthy pays off. Anyway whenever I decide to play the Odyssey I'll remember your help. I know once you told me out of the two playable characters Kassandra was the better character. I'm definitely going to choose her when I play.

This game looks and sounds interesting and I have it saved on my Steam Wishlist. The problem is I never read a Harry Potter book or saw any of the films. So as someone who is not familiar with the history and lore of the franchise do you think I would enjoy the game? Just for the record when I first saw the LOTR films I had never read the books nor knew any of it's history and lore but I still enjoyed the films. Also usually when I play fantasy rpg's I choose mage first. So do you think this is worth it for me to purchase?

Odyssey takes place a couple of centuries before Origins. Odyssey happens during Peloponnesian Wars, so it's 420-ish BC, while Origins is like 50-40BC Odyssey is set about 400 years before Origins. Yeah, I feel like an idiot the Pharaoh in Origins is Ptolemy and Alexandria has been established.

olnorton Is stealth still a requirement in these newer AC games? I played Origins a bit and enjoyed it but the game was such a drastic change from the earlier AC games, that I did not know if I should be stealthy or just be loud and cause a ruckus? I eventually want to retry Origins at a later date, and I own Odyssey which I also want to try but I don't know how to approach the games. These games now are sort of like action rpg's now. I even heard Odyssey has dialogue choices. In Odyssey you get to pretty much choose how you want to play the game and it kind of forces you into Melee IMO in lots of early encounters especially. I played a full on Stealth Kassandra, a full on lord of flames warrior with Alexios and a couple of half and half bow plus stealth Kassandra's plus a CRIT build that is probably my favourite. It is fun to completely stealth fortresses etc. but it is also pretty fun to just walk in and attack everything with swords alight. The latter does not always work as there are enemies when not playing NG+ that will have you getting wiped pretty quickly or running away especially early on. The game drops lots of armour that you can piece together to build how you want to play and has some armour set collectibles that enhance one or two particular abilities significantly. Of all the games it is my favourite for combat, some of the abilities your "Spear" gives you are lots of fun if a bit far fetched. I played origins once and have never played it again, I have played Odyssey 5 time or 4.5. Odyssey is limted as an RPG but yes there are dialogue choices and even so called romances which are really just flings. Thank you for the explanation.

Marvel's Midnight Suns
Have not progressed in the story mainly been doing side missions and trying to max friendships. Did get the memento from Caretaker's room for Agatha's ritual.

Addendum:Forgot to mentoin this earler bu tAct 2 ends at the point where Fallen Hulk gets his hands on the Parchment and Johhny Blaze and Sabretooth die then so if you've passed that then yes you're onto Act 3. Yep, I'm in act 3. It's just when Hunter went to sleep a cutscene did not play. Instead I got a black screen which is a bug some players have had.

Well the first story mission in act 3 was bit hard but nowhere near as hard as the Fallen Venom bell tower mission. Or the third Deadpool story mission with the statue. Later on tonight I'll just keep doing side missions and try to max friendships so I can unlock each hero's legendary powers. Yeah I wantt ounlock a tleas t1 or 2 more beforeI crank things up but most of the heroes are at Level 4 now as ide from Wolvrein ewho I think is leve l3 and Scarlet Witch who's at level 1 so likel ywon' ttak etoo long t oge ta tleas t1 more t olevel 5. I suspec =t it'll either be Captain America or Captain Marvel really as I think they' re the 2 highest levelled ones atm. I'll admit I'm enjoying the way I'v got Spiderman specced thoug hwit hhi scards. He's been ver useful in thi splaythrough. Whic his jus tas wel as I'v eended up doing a lo tof missions wit h him and why he wa sfirs tacross the line to get his Legendary ability. I d okin dof like Captain Marvels Supernova s oI'm hoping it's her that's next. But I'll see how the gam eplays out rather than try to influence it too much as Captain America's shield charge is pretty cool as well. Yeah, I've been using Blade a lot on side missions and I found a deck for him that's really good. The hero I've used the most is Wolverine. Captain Marvel was great in the first act, but then I got Wolverine who I mentioned before in act 2. All the heroes are pretty good even the one I did not know about like Magik, Nico, and Robbie as Ghostrider. Speaking of Ghostrider he is one of my top tier heroes. But I tell you the truth the game has been a challenge, but since Venom is no longer in the game the other Fallen like Crossbones, Sabretooth, and Hulk have all been pushovers. Also I've gotten better on not letting myself get swarmed by enemies. This was a problem of mine early on and through early act 2. Oh, I don't normally check the Steam forum for this game but apparently the bug I had after finishing act 2 where I would sleep, and then the screen would go black for a long time, and the only way for me to get out was hold the esc key. Well it's a bug introduced with the latest patch. But so far it has only happened that one time. I tried reloading the save but the problem still happened.
