Tried to warn you.

Decided to go ahead and finish since I read a partial spoiler with all the spoilfags trying to ruin this one. That said, it didn't really ruin anything for me. Have lots of thoughts on the end, although since most people won't finish for a while, no one will probably read them. I'll keep...

Are you getting the chests that show up on the minimap? Those camps usually just have one, and they give out stuff for RoR or wands.

There's also apparently one to unlock the cage at some poacher camp, and if you clear it without the sub quest, it just becomes un-completable. I think I may have actually encountered it like an hour after reading that. Not sure though, but I made sure not to unlock the cage either way.

Found the other half of our 1890's openly lesbian, somehow married, couple.

39 hours and had my first crash. Was just cruising around looking for balloons and landing platforms. I feel like I've flown around the entire map and I still have eight platforms left. What the fuck?

This. I figured the chime was for anything popping up, but it's literally for the field guides, and you can use it as sonar.

About 38 hours in and I think I've got 4 main quests to go. Saw someone say they did it all in 18 hours, with like 2/3 of the side quests. No idea how. I guess they didn't get lost in the castle as much as I did. I'm at 2/3 of the challenges done. Feel like there's a boat load of stuff to do...

I've had other students on missions during fights make comments, but I don't think there was a detriment to it ("Oh, you use dark magic?"). At least not yet.

I've really started enjoying doing levioso into descendo. I use 12 combat spells at this point.

Speaking of atmosphere, the game feels super alive. Every single place in the castle has something happening. I eventually just kind of tuned it out so I forget, but it's constant. There's a thread with a bunch of examples, but it's hard to overstate how many NPCs are doing things. And different...

Yeah, it's a really good game. Probably top 5 open world RPGs. At least so far. Definitely game of the year type of game. Even the collection type stuff is really well done and fits the lore of the game. My complaints are things like it not being as optimized for PC as I'd like, and the menu...

32 hours in now and another new feature. Or add on to a feature I guess.

Might have found my replacement for the Ravenclaw cloak.

Holy shit, literally just had a "Not all goblins" dialogue line. I wasn't thinking to screenshot it.

Tried my hand at a gif for Ravenclaw. Ended up small with the converter I used, but meh.

So has anyone unlocked their house cloak yet that's not Ravenclaw? Curious to see what they look like. I haven't changed from it since unlocking it. It's by far the coolest looking one (there was another house cloak I unlocked with a larger Ravenclaw on it, but not sparkly).

Might not be the game for him. There are quite a lot of spider encounters. Like...a whole lot.

I also saw a comment on Reddit which is a feature I really appreciate. NPCs during story missions match your run speed. I feel like this is the first game I've ever played where I can say that, and it's baffling. It's such a nice experience. There's been a handful of main quests where you do...

For sure. I'm at about 30 hours and probably got the last of the normal spells just a few hours ago. Have two of the three dark arts spells which I only got recently. And then there's the other features I mentioned yesterday that I only got sometime 20+ hours in. Two of which seems to be pretty...

Updated Nvidia drivers this morning and now I get a black screen. Why have Nvidia updates been so fucking buggy the last year?

Yes

He's a perfect example of why index investing is for the majority of investors. It's self cleansing as the weak companies fall off the index. None of this trying to pick winners and losers, and getting frustrated that you'd have to make perfect trades for half a decade to overcome one bad year...

The kind who is still going to 100% it even though the rewards weren't as exciting as I'd hoped?

I spent so much time getting Alohomora 3, and then found myself completely underwhelmed. It's super nice if you're wanting to unlock all those completion chests or whatever they're called (for RoR unlocks and wand handles), but otherwise...meh.

Good news! Couldn't tell you where I found it though.

Merlin cloak looks like shit anyway.

Doesn't seem to do shit for the pensieve mobs either. I dunno. Like I said, maybe I'm not holding it down or something and it's not blocking. Gotten used to dodging everything. Oh, and I take back my comment about fuck brooms. The flying mounts look cool, but don't seem super practical with...

Honestly, I almost never use Protego. Pretty much dodge only. For some reason I'm either timing Protego wrong, or wizards can hit you through it easily, because it seems to do fuck all. So I dodge everything. Troll fucked me up cause he'll do a chain of attacks.

There's more to it as you go. As far as the above, I don't think there's a carry cap for material either, so pick up all that shit. Second Trial was brutal. Burned through about a dozen heal pots. The first part with the door was pretty cool and I was worried the whole fight would be like...

Smell you later, losers! Enjoy your faggy brooms.

You wouldn't know until a good way into the main story. That screenshot I posted was about 14 hours in (although I'm distracted like a motherfucker doing side shit). I'm over 17 hours now and just got introduced to an entirely new set of features. It's one I'd been wondering about for a while...

Same. I'm overloaded with money now. Up to 17k.

I'm going to guess and say that it's specific to the area. And I only say that because every single item I get anymore is trash. The only time I get an upgrade is the unidentified stuff, which is what seems like is randomized and level scaled.

So the recommended levels on quests are definitely purposeful. Tried a level 30 one at 25, and holy shit, burned through a dozen potions. Fight was hard as fuck.

Wow, didn't even realize that's how you open those. I've got a lot of backtracking to do. I did finally get the level 1 lockpick though. Also finished up the House Tokens finally.

First trial was fun. Floor effect is super cool. Always know you're in for a good time when the game gives you seven healing potions.

Gandalf? Fig says, "With robes like that, it could be anyone."

Found out that money isn't worthless (well, kinda). There's a broom for sale...5k. Jesus.
