      I think he just forgot it came up. He does these really long game streams split up by his own work streams, so it's no surprise he sometimes forgets stuff. Especially since Ominis's blindness is only really talked about once (at least unless you're a Slytherin I think) and the rest is just inferred from his design and animations.

I'm sure it wasn't uploaded to UA-cam just because it was a lot shorter, a lot less interesting... Or maybe he never actually did it, but I really liked listening to his commentary. Actually made me go back and give it a second playthrough. Oh well.

    Ok, so i got to the TOBBS reveal and INSTANTLY I understood why THOR is well within his right to know and wield every curse. I instantly went from enjoying this game for it's storyline/plot, graphics, voice acting, etc. to "...yeah, but TOBBs.... avenge... seek, hurt, DESTROY..."
    (yeah, I'm late to getting around to watching this series, but.. "plight of the house-elf")
    ...
    (Edit) yeah, and then I got to the end-part... it's a game, I'm not even playing it, I'm watching it, and I'm in my feels (at the public Library) over Professor Fig's funeral... I shouldn't be my feels like this... why am I like this?

    6:33:50 and it makes absolute sense that it won't let you use your spicy buttons - your MC loves animals, and needs this for the task ahead, so you don't want to hurt it - thus unforgivables are not working.

  • @FreakGene

    On the subject of ones own internal monologue or even differnet internal visualizations. Im one who's pretty much in their own head fairly often over thinking things or even imaging how conversations might play out, and can over focus on tasks. My monologue can vary wildly, though generally its in my own voice.
    In my moments of high focus on tasks I my monologue can disappear or be silenced. I will tend to read things in other peoples voices if their name or face is tied to it. Or create voices for characters in books if I'm reading them long enought. But if I'm very tired, or as I'm falling asleep my internal monologue stops being my own voice and will take on other people's voices randomly, which was jarring the first time it happened.
    Being able to visualize stuff has always been difficult and weird for my though. In early life I was never able to visualize/imagine things when I read or listened to things, it was all just words to me. But I eventually began to visualize and imagine the things I was reading or hearing. However, even to this day I feel like that part of me is lacking, and I dont have much control of it, as it can be hit or miss. Like I'm decent at spatviz, and reading or hearing about stuff it's there visually in my head, but tell me to visualize something like an apple, and it doesn't quite work.

    Literally everything that you're saying about Sebastian applies to "Thor McGoblin" as well. At every single turn, your MC has encouraged and supported Sebastian's belief that his actions were justified, for no other reason than to learn the Unforgivables. And now at the end of all that, you're going to condemn him for a crime _you_ walk away from scot-free?
    This is the true cost of learning the Unforgivables in this game. You can do it, but it means the story of your MC is a story of a garbage person.

    I think the purpose of identification is just to give players a reason to go back to the room of requirement in case theyve been neglecting other timers there like plants and stuff. Some people have memory problems and it seems Wizarding World does what they can to be as inclusive as possible. Would also explain the randomized loot and milestone set pieces as opposed to preset loot drops tied to certain chests. Trade-offs of wider-audience-focused-development, and that. They could do more for turning off player hints and stuff for sure, though.

  • @danielvictory5866

    Hey I'm new here. I noticed in the last video you kept bringing up the vocal cues. I know a streamer who also doesn't like hints and after awhile of playing, his chat kept bringing it up. Many of the times they'd talk about the vocal cues, just trying to get the streamer to interact with them. This kept going on and days later. I would join his stream and people knew that "hating hints" was a way to get the streamer to interact with them. This just kept going until the guy eventually dropped the game. Was it the games fault? Maybe. Did his chat influenced his emotions? Possibly. Anyways just food for thought. You seem cool and pretty dang smart, ggz

    Also, random funfact about exactly that, it took me about until I was 16 years old to realize that not having a 'mind's eye' or 'internal monologue' was actually not the norm. I still find it hard to imagine what it would be like if I was able to see stuff in my mind or have an inner voice. But I am also not upset about not having that, it's a cool funfact about myself to tell people.

    I don't think the room of requirement is creating pocket dimensions for the beast areas so much as it is finding locations that don't have any human or wizard habitation that match the habitats of the creatures and just creating a portal to get there, kind of like how that ancient magic wall led to a gringots entrance in the beginning of the game.
    Magic is powerful in the Harry Potter universe, but I don't think even they have the power to create an entire small dimension out of nothing.
    I will say, I liked this game a lot, but some of the things REALLY ticked me off about it.
    For one, you don't learn all the unforgivable curses until very late in the game, so you don't even get a chance to use the killing curse for most of the game even though there is a really powerful build around it.
    Then there is the fact that the unlocking spell is split into separate difficulties rather than just the 1 spell able to unlock nearly everything.
    I could understand maybe having a single advanced version of the spell for the absolute best locked items in the game, but come on, 3 different tiers that you can't even get unless you find EVERY SINGLE demiguise statue? You go through the majority of the game finding locks you can't access until, again, near the end of the game unless you dedicate hours to finding every statue, which you can only mostly do with a guide telling you where they all are.
    But, yeah, other that annoying things like that, the game was great.

      @Kevin-jb2pv 4 місяці тому

      He actually said in one of the earlier episodes that if this system were to be used for an MMO then it would need to be strictly PvE. He also said that the problem with PvP is that the combat is very much about crowd control, and in any PvP areas or servers your character would just wind up getting stun-locked and kicked around the map like a hackey sack, non-stop, all the time... Which isn't very fun.

    I was disappointed in the werewolf room because it’s literally just lumos* in front of each tapestry to change it but there is no indication that’s what’s happening, and it’s so easy to miss. Like the fact that’s all it is, and it’s just wait for it to turn back is a really shitty puzzle in my unprofessional opinion

  • @osmbsmy.706
    @osmbsmy.706 6 місяців тому +2

    This hinting is actually quite nice, and could even be expanded, but it should be on a long, long timer or maybe be on a player-controlled trigger.
    Say if the character "sits and thinks" or if you stand within x distance of the puzzle for 5 minutes, the character might wonder aloud, "It looks like I need to go to the left here" or "whatsHERface said the goblinballs are high up" or whatever. I don't hate the hints, I just hate their popping out before I've had a chance myself. Also, the frequency, but I found many of the sounds throughout the game were very repetitive. It would have been nice to have a meter to fill up with each cast before you became able to cast them silently.
    If that makes the character too strong, invent a spell that allows us to say the spell, but mutes or cancels the sounds we make once mastered. Something to spare the player.

    This completely dumb design decisions are ruining this game for me. I know this is game for children, nonetheless it is destroying the immersion

    Watched this late but at 6:20:00, sending a 15 year old to azkaban is fucking insane. You have got to be out of your mind to think that that is a good idea. His reasons were out of pure good (saving/helping anne) and he is FIFTEEN. (Not directed at you specifically but at people in general)

      I'd say you have to be more out of your god-damned mind to let him go after he murdered his own uncle, even if his reasons were "out of pure good" (although a bit egotistical), when there were so many other spells to neutralize him other than a killing curse. And the fact that when confronted with it, he rejects the responsibility on the victim proves that he should definitely not be let free.

      I understand people not wanting to support JK Rowling, that is their choice. People have the right to buy and play this if they want, just as people have the right to refuse to if that is what they want to do. It is nice to see that not everyone was "agree with me or get canceled" I had people on my friends list block me for playing it. I get she has some unpopular opinions and has said some shitty things, but I grew up loving the Harry Potter universe and being a huge HP nerd. I have all the books in hard cover collectors edition, all the extended editions of the movies, I have a collectors shelf with a wand, acceptance letter, the robes, golden snitch, a butter beer ... yeah it is a little much I admit. Truth is, in my opinion, this is by far the best Harry Potter universe game we have gotten. It didn't deserve all the hate, you can like the universe without agreeing with all the author's views.

    'the characters are complex and deep'
    you have killed tons of poachers. you have used tons of violence, and it is just disregarded.
    the one goblin is bad because he killed his brothers, and you killed hundreds.
    people say the fainting in pokemon is contrived, but exhausting someone and having them become more susceptible to a sleeping spell dampens the amount of violence. but you are turning these sentient lifeforms to ashes. whether you are putting them to sleep, or teleporting them to simply be elsewhere, there were options which would have been more appropriate for the audience.
    the most disturbing thing which isn't picked up on is that the story was very jewish. and you are turning them into ashes which nearly instantly disintegrate and aren't even noticed by their companions. this is the most pogrom of pogroms.
    the characters' backstories are complex and deep, but the connection with game play is industry standard. it is well written but worse executed than new vegas. they have the trigger capacity to make it so there are branching narrative paths which recognize whether you played as a murder hobo, they just didn't.
    you just robbing people without it being acknowledged is just zelda. but there being no difference between spells for their social impact when characters do notice your outfit, it is a design decision.
    even if all people near hogwarts were bicycle cucks (utilitarians). or even if they were afraid and tyrannized by wizards, and wouldn't do or say anything to you robbing them, they could have had different ai paths with different animations. if you broke a pot in someone's house they could be surprised, or start weeping.
    having good backstories requires there to be good frontstories. a character having an exposition dump which is interesting but never referenced when it is appropriate is not deep. a character with a set of values like 'saving animals' not reacting to you going on a murder rampage or acting as a voice of a conscience, is dissonant to their character. it is irritating for your character to spoil puzzles, but in real relationships it is normal for people with vastly different moralities to abhorr one another's actions or inactions. it would have been appropriate for her to say "do we really need to kill everyone?" and "it is wrong for poachers to kill to harvest animals, but is killing them much better? we save one animal at the expense of another" and 'how many lives is one life worth?'. they should have quandries and contemplations and insecurities, not just backstory.
    also there is a bizzare lack of worldbuilding. there is tons of polish which you call worldbuilding but it is different. hogwarts has a motto of 'don't tickle a sleeping dragon' which is in such contrast to the theme of magic it is absurd. there is a conservative premise in the institution which is anti curiosity, and that is not remotely developed. the main story (spoilers:) has the same theme, don't explore new magic because there may be unforseen consequences, but there is no back and forth from taking the topic of the contrast of novelty and tradition. how did they get to whether they got without curiosity and exploration? how can you condemn some exploration credibly without prior results? they just present a conclusion which violates the world itself, and obviously you shouldn't try creating new branches of magic and forms of knowledge. where would wizzardry be if they tried to invent as well as innovate.
    there is something in the contrast of the enfranchisement and dogma indoctrination of standard prussian schooling, compared to the wild abandon of auto-didact-ism. but the world and it's institutions as characters are never really explored.
    why are the school grounds overrun with poachers? why are they overrun with goblins? why are they over run with cults? why do wands get used as guns? why is the place overrun with spiders? why does the environment have lots of magical tech, but there is no magical tech for problems? like why are you always killing trolls, and never running from them? why is there no credible threat? why do none of the people rout- why dont any of these beings flee in terror when you kill a dozen of their mates? why are there tools like the toads which allow you to hop from one enclosed place to another, but no magnifying glasses which present a magical death ray? why is there a single cop who doesn't do anything? why are the teachers there instead of law enforcement?
    it is a problem with the worldbuild or lack thereof. there is lots of love and attention to detail, but the world characters do not get any respect. and the player character needs both more flags and more interaction variability. having spell slinging is visually interesting, but the weird quest-giver gives quest with no unforseen consequences or conflicts of interests is weird and it really pops when there is someone like this character who discloses to you personal relationship with people you have been massacring, but they are still friendly. and it also pops that there aren't really other viable methods of dispute resolution, like causing enemies to faint or be teleported.
    you aren't the duckface who lived. you are the duckface who can not be named.
    the game is pretty great, but the writing is barely a pass. the game systems should match the character of the protagonist. the world characters and institutions should have reason to be the way they are, and that reason should leak out slowly. the major characters should have strong motives. the seccondary characters should have both lives before this story but also engagement with the main character, the world, the institutions, and the events going on. to be deep you should be able to minimally alienate people by surpassing some 'asshole' rating internal to the npc. but a reputation system with gossip would also be a good way to have expected character development in seccondary characters. instead of having their own story, you minimally would need to write that tehy are reacting to a guy in a duck mask robbing everyone. having wanted posters with a basic depiction of your character would force costume change, and it would give recognition and impact to player actions. also for vendor seccondary characters, the character would be deeper if they were suspicious that a kid was selling 100k worth of clothes. "are you robbing tombs?" would be a great bit of flavor text. "i have a pair of shorts just like those" would be another. another would be to have a kid from teh school act as your fence in town, 'wizard goodwill'. cause the number of articles of clothing and their variety from one single person should cause suspicion. "is this a suit of armor? why does a student have a suit of armor?" after all, you are selling thousands of articles of clothing in a place with a couple hundred residents. why wouldn't a tailor be surprised that a student is selling more clothing than he naturally orders from his suppliers?
    this doesn't impact the game. but the narrative- yeah...
    you aren't actually killing people and stripping them naked. but you are killing cities of people. and their bodies and clothes are no where to be found. and you are just strolling into town with tons of clothes.
    at least if you made a seccond hand clothes store outside of a government run resort like auschwitz, it wouldn't be suspicious.
    also the dialogue if the original game was well written it would be funny.
    "why do you have thousands of articles of clothing?"
    "to sell of course. why else would i bring clothes to a clothes store?"
    "that wasn't really what i was asking"
    "that sign says 'no shoes, no shirt, no service' right? here are some shoes, here are some shirts, so can i have some service?"
    "that is more about wanting people to be clothed when entering the shop, not to buy used clothes"
    *gaslight successful* "oh but you see how i could misunderstand"
    "did you mug some people for these? that isn't why we call them muggles you know." *gaslight failed* "hey sven!"
    "ya?"
    "have we been getting fewer out-of-towners coming through recently?"
    "seems that way doesn't it?"
    "hmm... anyway kid, i'll give you [amount] for the lot"
    ...
    "you again? if it isn't my enterprising new supplier, do you have more to sell, or can i interest you in some of my new stock?"
    picks an option from the menu
    "i see... as a colleague, i have to say that [item] would look better with [item2], why don't you try it on?... see you look better than ever, and look at that [school wing virtue] shining in your eyes."
    "i'd like to sell again"
    "ah, as much as i'd love to buy, some of the stock you gave me haven't been selling well... i know. why don't you take what you still have and some of my overflow to my distributor in diagon alley? i'm sure they would love it."
    you go to diagon alley through some contrivance, and get an affro-wig as a reward. "well it is better than nothing i suppose"
    the game was clearly a labor of love, but the writing isn't the shining point. it isn't serious, and it isn't even funny. the same way there an uncanny valley about graphics, there is an uncanny valley where parts of narrative fit with the gameplay, but parts don't. and those parts which don't require lots of suspension of disbelief. either the narrative should match the gameplay or the gameplay should match the narrative. either dont have a murder hobo sim and keep the pacifists, or don't have pacifists interacting with a murder hobo in an uncanny manner.
