Content locked, huh?

[Tertius Gauden]

It's nice of them to lock the content of entire parts of this game behind a paywall and exclusivity. I want this game to be good, but my goodness. Why would they think it's a good idea to lock entire portions of the game behind a more expensive part of the game? Just seems like a scummy move to me.

the dark arts battle arena, dark arts cosmetic, and thestral. game changing things, i know. having these "entire portions" locked off is damaging to the game.

But it actually is. It's apparently the only way to try out the Dark Arts spells if you want to make that your progression. You can test out the other spells, but the Dark Art spells are locked behind the Dark Arena paywall. So yes, that's a problem.

that is factually incorrect. the dark arts battle arena is the ONLY BATTLE ARENA that allows you to use them, even if you dont unlock them or dont want to use them. you unlock them outside of these battle arenas. for instance, to obtain crucio, you must go through a questline for sebastian sallow, someone who IS NOT locked behind any form of paywall. this is well known information that has been shown off in various gameplay trailers.

A pack of cigarette is $5 here. Some extra content for $10 won't be a problem. We are talking about a game which could be played for 50+ hours and some 10 dollars are bothering you. Smh.

A pack of 30's in Australia is $50, they really tax smokes hard here.

The only thing I don't agree with is that Ps5 players get access to their own shop while everyone else doesn't.

This is clearly the only valid point here. While this won't stop me from getting the game on PC (as if I'd ever buy a console these days..), it's funny how Sony just has to hold on to exclusives to try and remain relevant. That said, I have no doubt even that content will come to PC, one way or another, and given the track record of backwards compatibility for each new console gen, PC is the smartest choice.

I think you forgot a questline that is PS5 exclusive too, not sure how big it will be though.

that isnt locked it comes to PC after a year. its a VERY short quest to access one shop in hogsmeade that allows you to sell your items at a bonus compared to other shops in game. not exactly a massive piece of content locked away behind a paywall (seeings how it isnt included in deluxe edition, just base ps5)

Everything is moddable. Some are just easier and others are more... not exactly legal

leak confirms that avada kedavra (killing curse) is gained through a side quest at the end of the game. this same leak has shown off screenshots of the character editor, pages from the art book, and the map with cut areas such as a swamp. if the youtube video isnt your style, look online for hogwarts legacy leaks from today on twitter or from various game news outlets covering it.
