Hogwarts Legacy: Does Your House Choice Matter?
The Sorting Ceremony: Which House Will You Choose?
One of the most exciting parts of the Hogwarts experience is being sorted into your house. Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff each have their own unique characteristics and secrets. In the upcoming game Hogwarts Legacy, players undergo the Sorting Ceremony to determine their house based on their traits. But does this choice really affect the gameplay?
99% of the Game Remains the Same
Good news for gamers! Choosing your Hogwarts house in Hogwarts Legacy doesn't significantly alter the gameplay. The core plot remains unchanged, allowing you to enjoy the entire experience regardless of your house. You can even specialize in any magical skill tree you prefer, regardless of your house affiliation. Plus, there are no stat bonuses or perks tied to each house.
Interact with Students from Other Houses
Don't worry about being limited to interactions within your own house. Whether you're a cunning Slytherin or a brave Gryffindor, you can still engage with students from other houses, take on quests related to their lore, and form relationships with them. The game encourages cross-house friendships and interactions.
What Does Your House Choice Influence?
While the impact of your house choice is minimal, there are a few things worth noting. Each house has a mid-game quest exclusive to its members, providing a unique experience. Additionally, your house determines the colors of your starting robes, but you'll quickly upgrade your equipment. Lastly, you gain access to a Floo fast travel point in your house's Common Room, although it's not particularly useful in the wider game.
Form Relationships with Housemates
Your house choice does influence the student characters you can form relationships with. It's easier to develop connections with students from the same house, as you'll interact with them more frequently. However, you're not limited to forming relationships with students from your own house. There are notable companions from all houses that you won't want to miss out on.
A Missed Opportunity?
While the game offers an inclusive experience, some players may feel that there could have been more exclusive content tailored to each house's unique philosophy. It would have been interesting to explore the differences between the houses more deeply. Unfortunately, there is currently no DLC available to expand on this aspect. However, the game still provides a full and enjoyable experience for all players.
Overall, your house choice in Hogwarts Legacy adds flavor and small differences to the game, but it doesn't significantly impact the gameplay or story. So, whether you're a courageous Gryffindor, a cunning Slytherin, a wise Ravenclaw, or a loyal Hufflepuff, get ready to embark on your magical adventure at Hogwarts!
