In Hogwarts Legacy, the player character can kill enough people that even Voldemort would be envious, and the game treats this casually.
Although Hogwarts Legacy portrays Eleazar Fig’s protege as a veritable killing machine, it does so in an oddly whimsical manner. The fifth-year student that players can create in Hogwarts Legacy is the bane of Ashwinders and goblin extremists alike, the worst nightmare of every poacher, and as their knowledge of Ancient Magic increases over the course of the story, so does their death toll. Hogwarts Legacy’s wand combat and dueling are incredibly entertaining, and destroying poacher camps for treasure is always a satisfying experience, but the way players are permitted to eliminate enemies with their spellbook suggests that they are either mortally wounding them or even killing them outright.
Many players anticipated that spells like Crucio or Avada Kedavra would become constants in their combat loadout when Avalanche Software confirmed access to the Unforgivable Curses in Hogwarts Legacy. The fact that the student in Hogwarts Legacy can run around and cast Dark Arts spells without anyone batting an eye makes that decision even more alluring to players looking for a competitive edge.
The player character in Hogwarts Legacy can accumulate a terrifying body count just by interacting with all the evil organizations present in the game, as it is set in a time when the Wizarding World is particularly perilous. The latest observation was made by Kommander-in-Keef, who started a thread on the subject in the official Hogwarts Legacy subreddit. It didn’t take long for fans to point out how the protagonist is amusingly careless about their murderous rampage.
While the connection to Ancient Magic is what gives Professor Fig’s students their natural talent, the game offers players plenty of opportunities to hone their wand combat skills through the Crossed Wands dueling club and frequent trips to the Forbidden Forest. Few can dispute that the protagonist in Hogwarts Legacy develops into one of the best and most dangerous duelists in the Wizarding World as a result of learning new spells and improving them through the talent system.
Fans hope that Avalanche Software will add the ability to change seasons in Hogwarts Legacy in a future update despite how strong the player character may be. With Hogwarts Legacy, the developers undoubtedly produced a truly breathtaking open-world experience. As a result, many people are miffed that the game’s world is stuck in Spring after the main plot is finished. Although Avalanche claimed that Hogwarts Legacy has no DLC plans at the moment, it is undoubtedly worthwhile to think about giving players the freedom to enjoy all four seasons whenever they choose.
Hogwarts Legacy is out now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X with PS4 and Xbox One versions coming April 4 and a Nintendo Switch port dropping July 25.
