Nearly level 20 too for my character and I’d agree with what you said. It’s fun to explore but there’s not really a lot there when it’s all said and done. Which I understand in a way it’s designed to be accessible to everyone and probably a larger portion of more casual/non younger gamers too.

That said I’ve no interest in the story whatsoever that’s going on. I’m finding the side quests and such more interesting for a little story than the overall plot.


I am level 24 now, where are you in the story? You done the first trial yet? I have been doing more side quests and exploration and not far in the story as I think recommended level is 11.


I’m on the second large portrait tasks if that makes sense.

My main critique is the crappy costumes I have to wear for a power up :lol: some of them are cool others a bit crap. Like I get a +30 attack power if I wear a crimson mask that covers my entire characters face but doesn’t match the rest of the attire… (yes I’ve probably in need of a break from the game lol)


You know you can change the appearance and keep the costume right? :shifty: :lol:

Go into gear and go to what you dont like, look at what it says before you go in and you can change appearance. On cloaks you can also put the hood up!

Is there a way to permanently fix your appearance irrelevant of gear equipped? Or do you have to apply appearance each time you change kit?

Just seen this has been cracked now, if anyone was holding out on "not wanting to give money to JK Rowling" grounds :shifty:

I doubt people who are against the game draw the line at giving money to someone who won't notice it.

That was literally the only reason everyone's been against the game :lol: JK Rowling's a twat so they'd rather not give her more money for gooseberry fool causes.

Everything Ive seen said ‘if you play’ not ‘if you buy’

Steamers who have had the game for free have been targeted so money isnt the problem.

To be fair to them, it's impressive they got the game to run at all.

They've been given the game for free to draw publicity and elicit more sales. This is not rocket science.

Every single game is based on a story written by a wealthy transphobe?

Looks like you have to change it each time, but at least you can change it to stop you looking stupid.

I do wish there was a way to map more spells because I hate having to swap them out or even less spells in the game would have been okay. Just on my way to learn my first unforgivable curse :nod:

And it's only available on next gen and PC right now. Incredible.

I'm guessing the take up right on Switch and PS4 / Xbox will be higher in relative terms when compared to the above 3 games also, given that (Elden Ring and Cyberpunk at least) would be considered more "core gamer" market that Hogwarts.
