Natty should have taught us shapeshifting

[swap commend]

Her questline is a bit underwhelming. If she at least taught as shapeshifting it would be something. There are mages that turn into animals and she herself can do that. Then why this mechanic was not introduced for a player?

The less time I have to spend around Natty, the better. She annoys me.

But she wants to tell you about a settlement that's in trouble!

It would be cool it Natty would, in a dlc or sequel, teach the player and Poppy to become animagi. unlimited possibilities for sequels and dlc with the world they have set up so far.

Eh, I mean... what would you do with it? If you were lucky, you'd become a bear or wolf. In either case, you wouldn't be able to use your wand and it'd be useless for combat.

At worst, you'd be stuck turning into a niffler or something. While it would serve you right for lockpicking all the homes in the game and robbing their chests, it would be pure novelty and pointless.

As for the Uganda school, yeah. It'd be neat to see, but I think part of the charm of Hogwarts Legacy comes from its playing around with fun, quirky British tropes. Not trying to be a poop, but I don't think most people know much about any fun, quirky Ugandan tropes. It'd also be a bit of an uphill battle to flesh that bad boy out without veering into pure fantasy Wakanda-esque fluff. We'll see.

Depending on the animal, they could include areas that require animal forms to enter or solve puzzles with their unique abilities. I imagine such a form might provide you with a new list of abilities to use while transmogrified.

There is nothing in the lore about animal forms being able to do magic or anything outside basic animal stuff, so your abilities would be sniff, scoot, and bite. Not exactly riveting.

Also, it would not be very practical to design areas for particular animal forms when players would, by lore, be bound to only a singular animal form per character. It's expensive to design levels and content, and parts of levels restricted to only small fractions of the playerbase (i.e., people who have flying animagi forms or people who have small rodent animagi forms) would probably not be very efficient uses of developmental resources. That's why each house only has one unique quest in this game.

*shrug* I'd rather they focus that effort on adding some new spell effects or new enemy types, but that's me. I think I'd become a niffler two or three times for giggles and then never use it again. Even Natty only uses it on rare occasions to escape her mother's gaze.

Because shes annoying, forcefully added character, which somebody thinks will be perfect to integrate, and make a "uganda school" lore about it. Ive got nothing against black people, but this is awful.

You demonstrate an incredible lack of imagination, animals do a lot more than those three things in real life, why would they be limited to that in the game?

No, the only bigot in this conversation is, clearly, you.
