RPGs With Deep Lore

On the subject of the school itself, the grounds and school mostly look familiar. There is one place that is a mystery though. There is a tower not connected to the school with a winding path going up it in the very back. Maybe this place was demolished in the 1800s as referenced by the books in a small instance. It could also just be a new area unique for the g


Except for the name, Hogwarts Legacy collectibles Legacy has been a known quantity since 2018. Some leaked footage came out before quickly getting scrubbed online. Since it was uploaded the first time this means it will never truly go away. Comparing its footage and this official reveal trailer is an article in and of its


Anyway, that aside let’s go through the many layers of this reveal to theorize what exactly fans will be doing in Hogwarts Legacy . As a brief note, this is not the first RPG adaptation. The second movie game, on the Game Boy Color , and the third movie game, on the Game Boy Advance , are turned-based RPGs reminiscent of Golden Sun. For those wanting a Harry Potter RPG experience to play in the meantime, track those d


Houses can be chosen. That much is for sure. What isn’t known yet is if this game will have a Mass Effect -like morality system. That said, the trailer might indicate that students could go an evil route. In the fight against the dragon breaking free, the bottom right corner shows a masked man aiding the player. Maybe the skull masks aren’t all evil, but this could point to students being able to go a different p


In 1850, there were two notable births: Elladora Black and Oswald Beamish. Elladora was the younger sister of Phineas Nigellus Black ( Sirius Black's great-great grandfather and the " least popular Headmaster Hogwarts ever had ," according to Sirius in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ) and was known for beheading house elves when they got too old. She and her brother could make an appearance as young Hogwarts students around a decade later, or players may even get to see Phineas as Headmaster sometime after that. Oswald Beamish was a Goblin's rights activist and could play a role in the Goblin Liberation Front of the 18


What's more, the use of apparition was surely something difficult to bring into the title, yet really worked for what was needed. Looking at the combat system as a whole, there are some valuable concepts that Warner Bros. might want to utilize ag


The Great Hall also looks familiar from the films. However, there are two new elements. First of all the plain windows from the films are now stained glass windows that represent each house. The tables have cloths representing each house too. On the subject of this area, the late arrival theory can also be backed up here. Everyone else in attendance has seen the Sorting Hat and is already dressed compared to the pla


No one is ever shown playing Quidditch in the trailer. However, there is a shot of two students, presumably one being the player, about to start or at least hop on brooms. As this is an RPG, one can expect mini-games. Hopefully, Quidditch will be added like Blitzball was implemented in Final Fantasy


Hogwarts Legacy was heavily leaked up to two years before the reveal trailer was published. These leaks featured screenshots of an intricate character creation tool and gameplay footage that turned out to be very similar to the gameplay that was unveiled in the official trailer in 2020. However, further details surrounding character customization and gameplay are still forthcoming, meaning players know fairly little about Hogwarts Legacy's most intricate deta


The Hogwarts Legacy reveal trailer opens with the playable character's overdue arrival at Hogwarts and states the setting takes place in the late 1800s. Generally speaking, this could be 1850 onward, although it's more likely to take place after the late 1860s. That said, here's a look at some important events that took place from the mid 1800s through the turn of the cent


Released in 2015 and 2018, respectively, Pillars of Eternity and Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire are modern RPGs inspired by the Baldur’s Gate series. The games were developed by Obsidian Entertainment, better known for their work on The Outer Worlds, Fallout: New Vegas, and Knights of the Old Republic 2. The Pillars games use the classic isometric viewpoint with gorgeous pre-rendered backdrops and superb writing that fans of the CRPG will en


A top-down tabletop-style RPG inspired by CRPG classics like the Baldur’s Gate series, Divinity: Original Sin 2 offers its players the same freedom and flexibility. The decisions and actions of the protagonist help mold the world around them as they make their way through the st


On the subject of the carriage, one might also be able to deduce that players will come into Hogwarts as the semester is already in session. This is similar to how the protagonist of the Persona games always enter their school years. Why? Well, first years always go by boat. After that, they can take these flying carriages starting from the second year all the way to the seventh. The player is also alone without other new kids joining them which backs up this late arrival the
