In the live stream they even talked about how you could make yourself and every character you would like and then showed us this. There are a dozen or so face presets and that's it. I'm specifically talking about the presets and face shapes. 2009's Dragon Age Origins has better character creator than this debacle and it's 2023.Īm I the only person who is seriously disappointed by this? There is hardly anyone talking about it. But Hogwarts Legacy should not receive a free pass by those desperate to find some way to justify their purchase despite Rowling’s bigotry.I mean, seriously, compared to all known and set RPG standards, this game falls short on any of them. I’m happy for the queer and POC folks who have seen this character creator and realised the potential to piece together a representation of who they are.
Yet we cheer for it regardless, which was the intention all along. It is performative activism, a move that appears to take a step forward in the medium yet beneath the surface makes no real effort to achieve anything. Hair types, skin tones, facial options, and the smallest of details have been hailed as inclusive and a bold step forward, a bafflingly obtuse declaration given how Harry Potter and transphobia are now forever intertwined. Putting that aside, appearance and how exactly that might be viewed from a gendered view is all up to the player. On a technical level it is incredibly impressive, and your gender is only ever indicated by whether you decide to enrol as either a Witch or a Wizard. Journalists and influencers started many of their previews with ample love for Hogwarts Legacy and its character creator.
