Hmmmm. Holiday time? So it's Starfield or HW Legacy? Well for me Starfield wins if there's a clash. But the timing may work if it's not head to head. And judging by the news reporting today, this game is going to have the rusted chains of the issues with JK Rowling dragging behind it all the way to launch and beyond.

Considering I just typed "Hogwarts Legacy" into Google News and found no mention of issues anywhere on the front page, just excitement ... I think it's the site you're visiting TBH. EDIT: 2 mentions in the first 3 pages.

JK Rowling's anti-trans stance. Was recently re-introduced by Emma Watson rebuffing JK at the BAFTAs. It's a serious issue but it's not really mainstream, as in it's regularly brought up but if you go to most people on the street they won't know much about it. This isn't meant as a dig but you didn't know much about it either, right? That's my experience with it, the issue is out there but at the same time ... not out there?

Honestly? Looks more promising than I thought. I try not to get too excited, but it's hard And nice, holiday release Yeah it looks really promising I like what I'm seeing too. But I hope the yhold thei rhorses a little bi tas releasing it too close t oForspoken could b eproblematic for both so hopefull yHogwarts is more a November/December game as releasing it earlier with Forspoken coming in October could hurt both games.

Amazing. I cannot wait. Starfield AND Hogwarts Legacy just after I finish med school? Sublime. Looks like my theory of starting late was correct. Year 5 and still choosing our houses- honestly that is perfect. I really didn't know how to feel about playing a 12 year old in year 1. I am curious about the companions and building relationships with them. I wonder if we'll get a ball like Harry Potter and them did in year 4. Also, took screenshots of the common rooms for personal reference, figured I'd just drop them here too: **Of course I find better quality video *after* I take all those screenshots. Harrumph harrumph. Gryffindor Slytherin Hufflepuff (so cozy!) Ravenclaw Annnnd Ohhhkay, OK. Hello there, Sebastian. Looking forward to getting to know him! Poppy the Hufflepuff also sounds adorable. I think I'd love her as a friend in real life. Lol, though she looks crazy similar to my niece.

This...looks kind of incredible.
Customisable PC, skills/talents RPG progression. I'm kind of floored, to be honest. I was aware of this, but had no strong feelings either way. That changed after watching the State of Play. I am extremely impressed.

Now I have not actually seen the State of Play tonight, gonna wait on that till when I get home, but from the descriptions running around here and especially from BearKingReborn saying...well I was going to joke with SofaJockey about pre ordering the game...and while that does look unlikely...it also looks like this game has a lot of promise.

As far as the other competing games I will note to some curiosity that this game is basically getting one of these before God of War. I was expecting God of War to be out well soon but then it looks like it may be out after this game then? If they release right around the same time oooh nelly that could be interesting.

I'll prioritize this over Starfield if they end up releasing around the same time. Probably best to give Bethesda extra time to patch up the bugs anyway.
Watched for a second time and I am just continually impressed by how much care and attention they seem to be putting into Hogwarts.
Things I'd like to learn more about:
1. Character Creation. They kind of flashed through some customizations but didn't show the actual sliders or options to get an idea how detailed that is. Hopefully very detailed.
2. Dialogue. Will we get extensive dialogue options or more limited? They really didn't show this at all so that makes me a touch worried but we'll see.
3. Relationships. Is romance in the game? Optional friendships or rivalries?
4. Companions. How often can they accompany you and how many? I think I only saw one at a time.
5. Quidditch. Is it in the game?
6. Choices. How much will your choices affect the story? They showed avada kedavra being used so it seems you can be evil but I wonder to what extent that affects the story and characters.

The dialogue would be my big concern but even then hopefully it will be fun even if they do give limited dialogue stuff.

2. Dialogue. Will we get extensive dialogue options or more limited? They really didn't show this at all so that makes me a touch worried but we'll see. I'm curious about that now, too. It's not a huge deal for me, either way, though. My favourite game of the past 2-3 years is RDR2. And you didn't really have dialogue choices at all. You could choose to help, or in general play you could choose to be polite or rude, but that was it. 3. Relationships. Is romance in the game? Optional friendships or rivalries? Starting Year 5...is that 17? If there are romances, they'll want to tread very, very lightly, methinks. 5. Quidditch. Is it in the game? If it isn't, PRE ORDER CANCELLED.

Year 5 would be 15, so I'm not expecting ME or DA style romances lol. But being able to flirt or take someone to the ball. Basically what you see in the books or movies.

Year 4-5 was about when the romances started in the book anyways so if they wanted to include a romance mechanic that is about as early as you could do it which would probably explain why they are starting it year five. Of course the 'romance' hadn't reached the ridiclious rom com levels that it was in the Half Blood Prince yet.

Hopefully in the future Portkey games won't feel constrained to keep their games based in schools which opens up more options like romance for example. When they take their games outside the Harry Potter timeline and concentrate on characters outside of Harry Potter, the basis is already there to move away from Hogwarts

If Quidditch was in the PS1 era games, you bet it will be in this one. Though, I wonder if can choose our position instead of being the seeker all the time.

Yeah like others said, Year 4 is the Yule Ball where "dating" and courtship is introduced. They're 15 then, and they're actually 16 in Year 5. 18 when they're in year 7 and graduating.
