The gameplay of Hogwarts Legacy depends on the player’s choice. First, the player reaches the prestigious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as the player needs to choose which Hogwarts house they choose.

Now the house the player belongs to affects one of the main questlines, which is to find the lost pages of the book that the players found in the library’s Restricted Section. The player’s house also affects the appearance of the special House robes and the Quidditch captain’s outfit.

The next choice kinda affects your inventory. So while choosing the good options, some side requests will just reward the players for the quest. But going for the evil choice can let players get collectibles in their inventory, which they can’t use in the game.

Sebastian’s quest line gets greatly affected by the player’s choices. As he will allow players to decide if they want to learn the three Forbidden Curses or not. Further, whether the player chooses to protect Sebastian from punishment to Azkaban, affects the player’s friendship with him. Eventually, the ending also gets affected by players’ choices, like whether they want to keep the special power sealer or have it for themselves.
