Hogwarts Legacy

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

Not great, all low settings and the frame rate dips a lot. But it runs and doesnt have any compatibilty issues as far as I have noticed. So it is portable Hogwarts Legacy.

avalanche stream's up on twitch. got my cloak I'll probably never use.

I don't think I am a fan of how long it takes for all the features to open up to you.

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 major at allowing you to customize how you play.

I think I just finished the main quest that will unlock the 2nd broom upgrade. And there's also spells like Alohomora that you get what seems like super late, and I spent a couple hours getting lost in the castle trying to unlock the three levels of.

But I'm not sure how off rails I've been. Probably a lot. I'm level 30 and have 50% of the challenges done.

Which, speaking of challenges, there are significantly more collectibles than are required for the challenges. For instance I've got the field guide pages done for the castle but missing a few dozen to 100% it. Same with the part for Alohomora.

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 have to walk slightly more slowly, but I think they're just to allow for exposition, and as soon as they spit it out, it's back to running again.

It's honestly refreshing.

I've never even heard of it before you asked. Looking at https://users.nexusmods.com/account/billing/premium I might get it if I get into HL mods, especially if I discover that a good % of the money goes to critical mod authors and not to like, people who steal shit or useless "admins".

Not sure on the details, but I know a bunch of modders ditched Nexus over some shady stuff.

LMAO at this fucking pussy

I'm arachnophobic so I wanna know how bad this mission is gonna be? Like how long is it, any jumpscares I need to look out for? I would basically like to know the whole quest before I do it myself. And how bad will the rest of the game be for me? Like how often are spider encounters required?

Edit: I finished the quest in question and good news for everyone with spider phobia, i think it's not to bad. So here's what I did:

• No sound
• Easiest difficulty
• Had a youtube video playing in the background for distraction

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

Let’s see if I can beat spronk for once. Avalanche is streaming on twitch now, get your Merlin cloak boys!

You only have to watch for 20 minutes.

Any way to mute just the streamer? Holy fuck

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).

Just cast Melaninosa Extremo and you can ditch the wand.

Just keep your hands on the broom in clear sight when they pull you over and you should be fine!
