Do we know why they omitted House Points?

[|Pipe Dreams]

They say which house gets points numerous times thru the game, but yet, theres NO sand in any of the chambers.

I am on my last few quests of the Main Story, done most of all the Sides/Relationship stuff and still the chambers have no sand/points.

I hope in the Sequel they really utilize the points. Literally my favorite part of Harry Potter was the House vs House stuff.

its used just not in a way that is shown think of it like a secret number that after every quest you do and at the very end it telly's all the numbers and if you got a enough you win

So you've played through most of the game and seen the bare minimum effort applied to everything and question why they didn't add some fun immersive aspect?

It actually wouldn't have been too difficult to include house points instead of a morality system for all the side quests you engage in in the school and surrounding area. Where you can be nice and helpful to earn some points, or kinda mean and greedy to benefit yourself (or somewhere in between).

To be fair, I heard there's some end game content for the house cup. But I wouldn't get your hopes up about it being fun and exciting.

Eh, you know that the points don't matter. Gonagall or Dumbledore will give your house enough points that you win at the end anyway. That's how the setting works. ;)

But, yeah, if they make another game, and especially if it's a coop game where you can play together as a few students, that they put more emphasis on school things like that.

I always suspected that as a kid, but never knew it. For games meant at kids, it makes sense

There is sand in the first two and none in the third or fourth.

Well how would it work?

Presumably every other kid in your house is also gaining/losing points. So is the game just going to randomly add and subtract points all the time?

Well you don't really even go to class so how will you earn points? By murdering people? How many points does Ravenclaw get every time I blow up a goblin or set a death eater on fire?

Could be a fun RNG Mechanic?

IE - The Broom Races, Ball Game, etc.

That is something missing from Hogwarts sadly. The House vs House interactions. Even if they fleshed it out a little bit, could be fun.
