Intro and Character creation - Hogwarts Legacy - Episode 1
0NightHawk64 presents episode 1 of the Hogwarts Legacy Playthrough series.
As a huge potter-head throughout my youth up until today, I couldn't be more excited to begin my journey on this new and original game set in the Wizarding World universe. The developer describes the game as "an immersive, open-world action RPG set in the world first introduced in the Harry Potter books. For the first time, experience Hogwarts in the 1800s. Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. Now you can take control of the action and be at the center of your own adventure in the wizarding world. Your legacy is what you make of it."
The game begins with us designing our character and giving them name. Afterwards we get a series of cutscenes setting the stage for our trip to Hogwarts.
After a dragon attacked our carriage to Hogwarts, Professor Fig and I happened upon a private entrance to Gringotts Wizarding Bank that was only visible to me. In one of the bank's oldest vaults, we witnessed a Pensive memory, left behind by an ancient wizard called Percival Rackham, who could see the same sorts of magic that I see. A goblin called Ranrok tried to take the locket we'd found, but we narrowly escaped with it and our lives. It seems the fate of the entire wizarding world may rest on my shoulders. I have much to learn at Hogwarts, and not much time to do it.
Professor Weasley gave me a special book called a Wizard's Field Guide to help me catch up with my fellow fifth-years. She and Professor Fig taught me how to use it. Now I've been directed to my first classes of the day.
That was an exciting class! I attended my first Charms class with Professor Ronen and learned the Summoning Charm, Accio. To practice, Professor Ronen arranged a game called Summoner's Court and matched me against Natty Ona - and I won the game! Professor Ronen is preparing a special assignment for me and wants me to spend more time with Natty.
1 attended Defence Against the Dark Arts class. It went well. I learned a new spell, Levioso, the Levitating spell. Then I learned how to use Levioso to break an enemy's magical shield. On top of that I participated in my first duel and I'm honestly the natural talent. Perhaps I could give that unofficial dueling club a try?
I can't way to play more of this already incredible game and dive deeper into the wizarding world.
I hope you enjoyed the gameplay and commentary. As always, thanks for watching.
