No Ravenclaw Character Questline?

[SotiCoto]

Feel a little gipped. We've got Seabass for the Slytherin questline, the Ugandan Gazelle for Gryffindor questline, and Poppy Sh!tting for Huffpuff... but absolutely nothing for Ravenclaw.

... Well, I mean... I guess I'm playing a Ravenclaw, so by that logic the main quest is the Ravenclaw questline... but it wouldn't be if I wasn't, would it?

you go to flying class, meet the wierd super into flying guy from ravenclaw. then just never talk to him again...

I just call him Dungbomb because he throws a dungbomb when you first meet him in the Ravenclaw common room. I can't remember his name. Also the mod for paler skin that I use made him SUPER pale to the point where he looks like a vampire... but I saw how he was meant to originally be in the cinematic cutscene at the end of the game.

Honestly, I thought he was going to be more plot-relevant like the others... but he really doesn't serve any purpose beyond that one broom-riding lesson.

Not that it matters. Every NPC besides those small few only has one side-quest which they will never stop referencing every time you talk to them.
And listening to the conversations around Hogwarts reminded me of Oblivion.... like the way they're not really talking to each other but just reciting random pre-recorded lines of dialogue. The world is so utterly dead just beneath the surface...

Amit Thakkar is the Ravenclaw one.
Sebastions Sallow is the Slytherin one
Poppy Sweeting is the Hufflepuff one
Natasi Onai is the Gryffindor one

You literally go with amit to find the tables + into the mine.

Doesn't count. While Amit gets 2 points of comparative relevance (one being the introduction to the astronomy tables and the other being the trip into the goblin mine), both are main quests rather than side quests, and it never progresses any further than that.

Also Amit is the garbage-tier Ravenclaw. I'd rather have had more involvement for Dungbomb... or that girl whose brother's feet turned into vegetables.

Couldve, shouldve, wouldve.
You asked who the Ravenclaw is, gave you the answer that is correct.
Yet you are pulling the typical deranged take that its wrong and doesnt really count.

Again a perfect example of people on these forums being total dimwìts...

Honestly I get the feeling the game whats us to be a Ravenclaw, just like Isadora.
There isn't a Ravenclaw character because WE are the Ravenclaw.

[mutantbeth]

they are your companions regardless of your house so it doesnt matter.

No, there is no meaningful Ravenclaw quest line or character

And no, i dont' count Amit. He isn't the same as Sebastian, Poppy or Nat what's her name

he does two quests with you, whines the whole time, and then is gone. There isn't a meaningful relationship there, and no substantial quest line to follow, nor even an achievement associated with him like the other three

Though I might be Slytherin, i acknowledge Ravenclaw always seems to get the shaft lol. Whether it's the movies giving them the wrong color and symbol, or this game neglecting giving them a meaningful companion and questline

Your response was obviously objectively false though. You're not really in any position to be calling anyone else a dimwit if you didn't realise that.

You have just proven to be one.

The whole game is good/great but smells heavily of rushed production / cut content. There is evidence already for cutted Quidditch and a swamp area and the interaction with the "compaions" is the same. There are multiple points in the game where you can literally see the cissor cutting the content short to manage the release milestone.

I bet it was planned to have companions in "freeroam" mode outside of missions (hero comments "i shouldn't be alone here" in the southern area) and the points system for the 4 houses was also most likely there or was planned at least (old games had it). Same with the different school classes, could have easily been mini games like the old games and - important- to be repeatable like the ball game.

A lot of the stuff in the game was never finished... you can look in the files and see there was supposed to be companions, reactions to quests from those companions, and relationships stuff... pretty sure when they started you was going to have friends in the house you picked.. but at some point they dropped all of that and just put in 95 Merlin Trials...

/sarcasm and I think we can all agree they made the right choice by adding in those 95 Merlin trials instead.

Merlin trials that are labeled Sphinx in the game files. I have SOOOO many questions! XD

Someone needs to run an AMA for the devs.

I have seen some people on Reddit come up with the theory I thought made sense. That the reason there is no Raven claw quest-line, is because they had originally planned for your character to be Raven claw early in development. Which is why there are so many puzzles, why the room of requirement starts out with the science theme(both things that are very Raven claw), and why there is no Raven claw companion; plus the cover art shows the protagonist wearing blue. Then all of that changed at some point, and left a lot of things out or unfinished to compensate the new direction.

Who knows though. I jut thought it made sense after thinking about it.

It would have been insanely bad idea for the to make everyone Ravenclaw by default. I mean I wanted to be Ravenclaw and I am, I'm simply too smart and creative to be anything else, but the plebs among us want to be hufflepups and gryffindos and the try hard weirdos want to be slitherings. Ravenclaw never got the attention it deserved, not in the books or the movies or any of the games.

Hence why they nixed that idea- assuming that's what actually happened, but it does kind of make sense in a weird sort of way. Maybe someone thought it looked good on paper to make the character automatically Ravenclaw, but then thankfully, someone else with a brain realized that most of the game's fans would be very put out to not be able to decide their own house.

I'm a Ravenclaw myself, but I would also be upset if I could only be Ravenclaw. I've been having massive fun doing play-throughs of all 4 houses.

[Jynn]

I dunno, a lot of the story seems to mesh well with a Slytherin point of view

Sebastian's quest line never makes much sense to me from a different House perspective, how he and Ominis trust a 'outsider' so much, but it makes a bit more sense as a Slytherin

i wish the quests were more different based on House, honestly

Games are always released before they're really finished. After years of development and millions of dollars the bean counters get antsy and put on the pressure to get the thing out there. It isn't finished, it could be better, but it's good enough to sell millions of copies. Warner Brothers lost 2 billion dollars in the final quarter of 2022 so they were desperate for a win and pushed the game out so the first quarter of 2023 won't look so bad. Since they're a woke company and make entertainment based on woke ideology they've been losing money for years because the general population wants good entertainment and not lectures on diversity. They own CNN too which really doesn't help their bottom line.

It's because us Ravenclaws have the most well-adjusted students who can take care of their own problems. ^_^

I'll be quite honest here: I'd rather not be in ANY house.
Like if I was an actual Hogwarts student, I'd probably rip any sort of house iconography off my clothing, opt out of all the personality pigeonholing bullsh!t, fully dye my robes black, and just waltz into any and all of the common rooms as I saw fit (because there is no method of entry that can't be learnt through lurking and listening). I'd steal food from ALL the tables in the great hall and sit on my own in the corner to eat it. I'd also release all of the caged animals in the transfiguration classroom because I've wanted to do that ever since the HP films.

But I'd probably have been lumped into Ravenclaw before all that... assuming they didn't let me simply opt out of being stuck in a clan.


Random fact nobody else knows: One of the high schools I went to did have actual houses / teams. I was in Cadwgan. It wasn't really relevant most of the time though. It was just for setting us into teams for sporting events and the annual school Eisteddfod. I just figure that most people outside of Britain probably don't realise it is a real thing.
