This is not what we expected

[Karlpro1945]

the game is compeletly empty of harry potter world, you can't act as a real student or more like a slytherin,....ect since the NPCs doesn't recognize you and your background the huge blow to this one is where the others call you fifth year student repeatdly instead of calling you by your name,that's really disappointing to me,but there's more problem in this game like there's no linage system so players could be a descendant of any 4 founders of hogwarts or any other characters like Merlin himsfel and so on
lack of competion,lack of good characters,lack of complicated point system,lack of interactive objects,...............
no way to act as real dark character since there's no a fear factor in the game,they always behave as same whatever you do to them,very silly.....
actually you can't done a real damage to anyone or anything
it has zero depth and essential factors to be called a harry potter game in fact
if you ask me this game is very far to the point to be seen as a Hogwarts
it's just a bad copy paste from books&Movies

TL:DR The game is a great feel of playing Harry Potter game without Harry Potter, and world feels saitsfying,

A Hogwarts school life sim could be fun, but it is not what this game is and it certainly wouldn't fit here.

House points could totally work though. Obviously you would get them for school activities, but you could earn them outside of school activities for following the house philosophies (Griffondor being brave, etc) in your actions, and interactions with others.
Then they could be deducted for things like stealing, getting caught in forbidden areas, attacking others, or making decisions that go against your house.

I agree, this isn't something for a game of that scale and scope.
And to better explain what I think about House Points system:
Your ideas are good but they are based on the idea that there is always some invisible force watching you at all times waiting to add/remove points. Which would be strange since by their nature they are meant to be awarded by teachers and prefects for achievements and proper conduct and removed otherwise.
In that format they stop serving their original purpose of providing immersion for Hogwarts school life, their absence outside of school would actually fit pretty nicely.
However you could combine House Points and morality system into something like House Alignment, which could serve all the points listed.
But that would require fundamental changes to the entire way you interact so... yeah..
Also I have a weird feeling that having House Points would just end up with player solo-carrying their house to victory in House Cup xD

they had a story they wanted to tell and that trumps a full day at hogwarts repeated over and over and 2 days off to do everything else.

they also cancelled the quidditch so had to have the headmaster announce that inside the game - we can be pretty sure of that what with leaks and the fact so much quidditch stuff is in game such as the team outfits, and also the broom tutorial is far too extensive what ended up as a few time trial courses for a mode of transport. it must have been impossible to drop brooms completely being such a big part of the world.

suggestion to original poster: when you stop typing to think what else to put, maybe try putting a full stop (or period in america) there? i know not everybody is great with writing but just trying that, even if its in the wrong place sometimes, i think helps.

house point and Morality system's considered to be critical part of this game which's lacking now,without this systems and many other thing i've already suggested up here the game looks too Raw and basic,they way all NPCS calling you fifth year student's bothering,it's about your story as the game advertised it before but everyone got a name except the player seems like you're a guest or something or unnamed traveller passing thro,that's disappointing

Considered critical by who?
I don't remember devs talking about how you can have reputation and morality system, and as I said in previous posts, I don't think House Points can be feasibly added in a game where you spend a lot of time outside of school doing all manners of things.
And that's what was mostly advertised, attending classes (you can do that), exploring the school (best rendition of Hogwarts, hands down), and exploring the surrounding lands (biggest selling point I have seen). It was never advertised as a Hogwarts School Life Sim and they even made that clear in official release trailer by mentioning that you will have personalized tutoring plan due to special circumstances.

And in every game that has voiced dialogue you run into an issue of players being able to name themselves anything, imagine attending school as blue-haired Colgate McTeethbrush... you can't expect NPCs to acknowledge your name in voice.
Many games solve it by skipping the name entirely, like in recent FE Engage player's character is referred to in text as "Divine Dragon [playername]", however in voice [playername] is removed.

I agree though, NPCs could at least acknowlegde your house.
And I won't even begin to get into topic of what "Your story" means, since that stuff is usually veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery hard to define.

Adding Quidditch later via free update or DLC is something I'd love to see. Old Quidditch World Cup game was my fave "sports game" when I was a kid xD

i still think the game lacks a lots of contents as i mentioned above which makes the game just a Beta version in my eyesm, but lets put this arguments aside and see what the devs could've done about a player voiced name which i truley believes is very much nedeed in this game since you gotta creates your own story so without a name recognizeable by NPCs it feels like your not weighted anyway
personally thinks they could implements a combination of player's custome name(first or last)+ recorded Templates so the Npcs could at least acknowledged your charatcter full name partially
it was possbile to let the players to record they custome full name via a Mic so they could easily inputs that recoded sector insided the game Via a simple machine learning or AI
i can't just forget how back in 2013 my talking Tom app was able to do so
there could be a far better hogwarts legacy game out now but inexperienced devs and money hungers as the producer just dismissed a lot for this one

Ok, AI-assisted voice upload and synthesis is a great idea!!!
That's still very experimental feature, especially given how in recent weeks we have seen emergence of voice-mimicing AIs, and the biggest issue they had is struggling to comprehend accents, which came in when you would try to record certain languages, accents and sounds.
Coming up with a consistent speech recognition AI for game purposes would go such a long way though!
I think for its current state, Hogwarts biggest issue is that it doesn't give player any presonalized title to be recognised by, even if you acknowledge player's house, it still puts you on the same level with all the other students....

Except the purpose of playing a computer RPG is so that it happens mostly on the computer screen.

This is however not a RPG, this game is an Action Adventure. So I don´t know why you wanna entangle the RPG genre into this.

I dunno if 70 GB is enough to fit the game you want lol

dude voice recognition were existed since windows XP but most importantly recording different dialects wouldn't be such a huge problem as we see in lot of apps, in fact it's easy to record over and over for a %100 result which current AI's able to understands which one's better,i've just name it to show as an example of what the tools devs could use to solve and overcome difficulties but surely there's a lot more ways to that if a more experienced Team were working on such a project
as far as i know having titles for the player to be recognized with is just one of the hundreds part that doesn't exist in the game yet to the point even starting with any of 4 houses won't affect your story line as it's always the same,that's very disappointing to me

it could've be a far more better game than this even with 60GB it all depends on how the devs using the space and tools properly

I bet you have zero coding skills and you are expecting the holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grail of a video game. The Harry Potter world you know and love, for one, isnt even the same throughout the films, and two, its a hundred+ years after this game. This game inst called Harry Potter. It isn't called Hogwarts: Student Sim. They never promised anything like that. Its called Hogwarts Legacy, and they absolutely delivered.

Dude, you have 1700 hours in PES2020. Dont think you have much of a leg to stand on in terms of a game reviewer lol

am sorry lad but bet you're kind of person which everything throwing at him is accepting it happily (good or bad) and of course i've got coding skills that's why am seeing thro this that it could be far better than this Painting Game in fact it has Zero coding inside since it's has nothing to offer but Graphic( which's still not that Great anyway)
