Game development is a long process, during which a number of originally intended elements are lost and some, on the contrary, are added because it suits the creators more. This thing also happened during the development of Hogwarts Legacy, or at least according to dataminer information GrandTheftDiamonds it looks like that. According to the data he found, there should have been a morality system in the game, as well as reputation, the presence of which would more actively define the world around you. Bad behavior should have been clearly penalized, which could realistically take the overall experience a step further and clearly show players that some actions are hard to forgive.
Your behavior should also be one of the factors defining how other residents view you. The dataminer found indications in the files that the individual might have had hatred, resentment, indifference, trust, friendliness, or downright kindness towards you. It’s a bit of a shame that the developers at Avalanche Software decided to leave this element out, as it could have added an interesting spark to Hogwarts Legacy as a whole.
A new datamine of Hogwarts Legacy has revealed that a morality system was at least tested before launch, meaning that murdering and using other unforgivable curses had repercussions. pic.twitter.com/JN1yzgwLgg
