Welcome to Gaia! ::

Excited to play Hogwarts Legacy whenever we all get it here as my nephew picked it up but idk what kind he got, so either by the 7th if he got the deluxe edition pre-order or by the 10th for the others.

All the same it's going to be fun seeing how we all are Slytherins in this household for my year older nephew is one, I'm as shared am one, & our elder friend living here too with us too Nathan is also apparently a Slytherin after sorting on Wizarding world.

And sadly cause we're all different people with different play ideas all I can say for just being me & knowing how I'll be is my run, is it's going to be an anti-hero game for I will cast the imperius & cruciatus curse at most of the three unforgiveable curses on all of the evil wizards, witches, and creatures hunting us all in my wizarding world linked account game.

As for my clothing in game idk what I'll wear depending on if my nephew got the deluxe or not, for I do like that dark wizard/witch attire, but I also like the House Fantic robe you get from linking your wizarding world account to the game. Not to mention you also get a sweet beaked bone mask linking the account to the game for one accessory item to wear.

Knowing myself though in games normally I may be playing my anti-hero wizard and sporting an attire that screams dark lord, for in the Fable series of games I like to wear the clothing items everyone finds somewhat (if not 100%) evil most of the time.

examples if you know the game series and the attires if not will say name and leave a () for the game title you can look them up and see what I'm talking about: Chasm outfit (Fable 2), Hooded Dark Guild outfit (Fable Anniversary), Pick to wear Jack of Blades Mask (Fable, Fable TLC, & Fable Anniversary.), Bandit outfit (Fable, Fable TLC, Fable Anniversary, & Fable 2.), & it's not an outfit really but is part of the things you can wear at will like clothing in the game, plus idk if people in the game see them as evil or not tbh The Scythe Tattoo set (Fable 3)

The Major differences though is in the Fable series I go full on evil in the games for a fun time, in Hogwarts Legacy I'm go off the true me idea at first, then I may do an evil me run, unless people in the game are total jerks to me 99% of the time then I may go evil in my being me run of the game for being honest IRL if I could cast the unforgiveable curses on some that hurt me I would have on a lot of them & I know I'd be considered a dark wizard for it yet I'm also all "meh if they deserved it I'm the hero of my own tale." (Lots of teachers in High School would have been crucio'd with only two of the many that may have got Avada Kedavra'd. I'm an interesting sort of person for I don't want to go fully dark but if shoved I will release the dark venom of myself upon those whom caused it. Like a real Snake would.)

Being more honest * just chatty as heck atm for idk why, I also mostly only do Evil runs in the Fable series for these reasons listed; Fable, Fable TLC, Fable Anniversary: Don't like getting crowded by in a store when trying to leave it the night cycle hits and now I'm fined for trespassing when I tried to exit before that occurred & now I'm just mad cause everyone hates me even though they are the reason I even broke the dang law!, Fable: The evil sword is oddly stronger in this game compared to in the lost chapters or Anniversary ones that is the same game basically so I kind of being a d**k kill my older sister in the game with the blade and keep the dark sword (plus being honest it's a cool looking blade & I wish the sword kept that random power in all the first hero fable series games.), Fable 2: People when upset at you will kick your dog & I don't take kindly to that stuff irl so of course in a video game I go extreme mode of "heroic" justice, mixed a little again crowding and closing times in the store issue, and lastly they give an easy evil jobs system I like to abuse for some quick small gold (mostly cause I use gold to buy property in game and now make much more.), Fable 3: I like to abuse the system of morality in this game by causing mayhem as the prince/hero but then at the end keep all my promises I made then becoming the good king, or I just do that but then I also go slaying all the people in Albion & now Aurora cause I just like the evil weapon's look when you morph your hero weapons with the guild chest in the road to rule. (I honestly in Fable 3 make a lot of heroes and play them all differently to see what I'll get for weapon morphs on my hero weapons.)

When it comes to Rowling & the wizarding world case, the author is being a git on views lately and it upsets me let alone all of us, but I'm trying not to let it destroy all of the things I liked before all the gross views of the author came around.

As for how I play evil characters in video games more a part of me feels the only reason that I can so easily is because of the fact I had a lot of rough IRL moments I just got all "it's all a game I can do as I wish & apparently it's this." or it may be cause influences of elders of mine whom played villain characters in games a lot idk which one of those two it is really that caused me to do so if it's not just both happened.

Honestly I don't understand the few whom are doing all that, I mean I do for the whole gross views of Rowling, but I also really don't get why they'd all want to go destroy their old books, movies/DvDs, & merch just cause it gave her royalties ages ago in the past before all the gross views of Rowling came around even.

As for Hogwarts Legacy I feel it's going to be a lot of people's last thing they'll be buying that Rowling is going to get some royalties for ever, even if she says she had nothing to do with the game & wants nothing, all because the world is itself they're going to have to hand her at least 10% from all the profit if not more just cause the wizarding world was made by her originally so anything slapping too much things Hogwarts/Harry Potter it gives her something of money made.
My honest hope is if they have to give her some cash (for idk if she can, and even if in reality she will deny taking payments for the games that sold that she will actually earn nothing.) that it's not way too much that it hurts the game company's earnings for however many sold given everything.
As honestly I don't see them selling nearly as much as they hoped to given Rowling's gross views, but also as a wizarding world fan still I do know we're a bunch that will still love the world even if we're going to avoid giving her more earnings if we can help it.

Cause in my case due to my family life I handed all my old HP books to my father when he was in the senior caretaking home so he could listen to them as we visited and read to him, and once he passed away the place he was in just went and instead of asking any of us if we wanted them back either sold all his old things if they couldn't hand them off onto other people down there. (And I wasn't going to go be that guy whom went looking for his old HP books demanding to take them back to his home for they are originally his if they were still around, specially concerning most the people there never got to see their family members ever again for life is just sometimes that horrible.)

Back to our choices in video games talk (and a more cheery bit of talk after dropping that last parentheses.) I feel we all got those moments we just can't do the evil option in a video game at all for we all have too much of a good heart to do it.
And depending on the evil choice in some games I feel we may have our moments we don't want to see it ever.

I have to admit I'm glad the people down there got some good books to bring them joy and it's honestly better to know they went to others over then they got tossed away in the trash. (Even if I wish the place asked first more then done so in an instant.)
As for re-getting the HP books I'm hoping to get them in a condition I can read them all at least again if I can find a place that has them all around for purchase here, but tbh my other thought was grabbing the custom designed for your Hogwarts house covers set if I went to settle for buying actually brand new copies. (cause they look so lovely & I been eying them since I lost my old set back in 2019.)

Speaking slightly about the lost of my father I think I had but I'm not 100% sure if I did or not now, that I shared my Patronus ages ago but looking back that was taken before my dad passed away, so now a little bit of me wishes I could retake the Patronus quiz on WW to see if I get a Dachshund or Chihuahua (dogs that my father had, and so I tie them to him.) Patronus if I took the quiz today.
(if they even are a thing you can have in the quiz on there.)

And oh boy greed, the worse enemy of all us honest for many fall victim to it be it irl or in video games. (though obviously one is safer then the other.)
The sad thing with greed is greed is a horrible thing for it can happen randomly to anyone unsuspecting to become greedy, or even to a person you like one day for you found a grand person to be around for they share things with you, hang out with you, laugh with you, and so on.
But later once they got & get lots of money suddenly they've got this I'm better than thou attitude, start to ditch you for other people to their standards now, and destroy all the good they once were. (I seen/dealt with greed ruining people in my past a lot, and it honestly worries me for whenever I get wealthier in life if I'll change for the worse, since most I seen/dealt with been my own family members turning.)

Hopefully Rowling if she is to do something good after her gross views, actually keeps word and doesn't take money for the sells of HL, because then Rowling would be just all gross, with views and now greed of couldn't even keep her word she wouldn't do something.
(And we can all guess how the world would be in an uproar if she didn't keep word about not taking money from HL copies sold if we got word about it.)
{For my case I'd be more, "oh cool I felt like she would do this shiz, but hey look on upside people complaining she wont be getting much more soon cause of reasons will she?" and move on with my life.}

Long run of all things all I can say is we really do live in a crazy sometimes really messed up kind of world.
