Ended a bit sooner than it did. Hear me out: this isn't because I want it short - infact, I wish the middle portion was longer and more in depth. But if I could have chosen where it ended I would have placed it right after he killed his uncle and I definitely would not have made him the one to teach you the killing curse. That felt very 'off.' I really liked the reaction he had when you told him he went too far and rejected learning it - it felt more natural. I wish his arc had just ended on him saying he "Wasn't in his right mind and needed to be alone" before vanishing - that Ominis had come back to us at a later point saying Sebastian had gone missing. It would have set us up for a more open-ended sequel possibility. Is he running from the ministry, is he trying to find Anne, is he doing something self destructive?

As it stands - he just speed runs therapy if you choose the positive responses at the end of his arc and that felt artificial. He just basically ruined his own life - he would definitely need more time to come to terms with everything.

1 of I don't know how many things I would have preferred to be different in Hogwarts Legacy :

1. I would have preferred if our ancient magic ability was something we either discovered a good chunk into the game while with other students or was completely scrapped as a concept.

I think that we should have been able to choose which school and country our student previously came from and that they were a transfer because our family moved. We should have been able to decide other factors about our student. I have noticed that some mods add the ability for you to change certain things that the game never brings up such as blood status.

Alongside this I think you should have been able to choose some strengths and weaknesses off the bat to help build your character and these things would have been reflected in your magical abilities to offer some variety for replays and maybe even different cutscenes or dialogue options.

Your character should come with core magic abilities and one or two extras or your choice at the very beginning of the game. We shouldn't be having classes as if we are a first year - we should be having our tutorial on screen but not having others around us act like we've never flown on a broom before or used lumos lol.

We should have had a morality system and relationship system. You should be able to interact with any NPC, but only specific NPCs should open up quest lines or be able to be companions. Having a morality system and a relationship system would have given more weight to our dialogue options and made replays more interesting.

To give an example of how the relationship system would have worked: similar to The Sims as you meet characters you would have an inventory of characters appearing somewhere in your menu. If you choose rude dialogue options a character that has a side quest would not open that side quest up to you or the side quest that opens up to you would change depending on your dialogue choices and the state of your relationship with that character. You would have a set time frame in which you could access a particular side quest by building your relationship in a certain direction with a character but after a while the side quest would expire.

As you can do multiple playthroughs at one time this should not have been a problem because you can try different things out with different playthroughs.
