Yeah this blows.
Go into your gear and open for example the gloves segment. Then you'll see a grid with the gloves in your inventory but you'll also see faded-out icons of other pieces of gear. That grid is actually your gear inventory. If the grid is full it means you have no room in your inventory. So delete lower-tier shit on the regular or sell it at vendors. If you don't and your gear inventory is full, opening a chest will despawn the item.
Massive design oversight and seems like a prime candidate for a fix.
You can always reload an earlier save, make room and loot the chest again. Keep in mind that all loot is RNG so you probably won't get the same item again.

The loot system sucks, but you get used to selling everything you don’t have equipped every time you see a vendor or complete a main story quest. And it gets a little more interesting once you unlock RoR and the upgrade system, mainly because of what’s involved in farming those resources.
This was what I was worried about, it reminds me of a bag GaaS game, do you need to intensely grind it?
There was a ton of loot in Wticher 3 but it was fairly meaningful.
If you play with your wand too much, your hand will get sore and your palm will get Harry.

What? No man. What do you even mean, GaaS game? This game has loot like every other RPG under the sun and no you don't need to grind anything. Stuff just drops from enemies defeated.

Massive performance increase new NVIDIA. Drivers.
Well that's a relief, thank you for confirming that.
Don’t think so, but you can fast travel to a vendor in a few seconds.

right now I’m wishing I didn’t skip out on Harry Potter, growing up.
This seems like such a treat for fans of that world. I need my Ninja Turtles version of this.
By all accounts, it’s still good even if you didn’t grow up with Harry Potter, but I have to imagine a lot of enjoyment is stemming from fantasy fulfillment.

What version is this? I've read a tweet mentioning potential black screens and suggesting to revert to previous ones.
I got a notification to update top 528.49 (8 Feb '23) game-ready, but it does not mention Hogwarts.
I caved and bought the deluxe, yesterday. Hope we get to spend some fun time playing the game with my nephew.

I didn't realize the 1.3 million twitch viewers this game had at once broke the record for most viewers for a single player game on Twitch. Cyberpunk had the record before this at 1.14 million.
Even CNN has a front page article on it lol: https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/09/tech/hogwarts-legacy-video-game-record/index.html

Just discovered a small little tomb
Didn’t expect that haha.
along with some quite creepy enemies and to get out of there I’ve had to use Wingardium Leviosa on the skeletons lying around and build stairs with them
Didn’t expect that haha.

My bigotted basic bitch hufflepuff character:
Her in game name is Lyra Ferreira and I think she is super cute lol.
Lyra is inspiration from His Dark Materials books which are my favourite books after Harry Potter. I was struggling to think of a surname for her and because I had just been listening to Sky Ferreira I went with Ferreira.
So far I'm at the point just after you fight the troll dude in Hogsmeade.
As a huge HP fan this game is fucking amazing. The movies were great to bring the world of Harry Potter to life but in about 2 hours of gameplay this game has changed the way I think about Hogwarts and the surrounding areas. I mean, in the movies we only see much of Hogwarts, the grounds, and Hogsmeade. The original HP games I loved but this is on another level. I'm in awe exploring Hogwarts. I've read the books countless time but already I'm wanting to go read them again now that I have a different imagination of what Hogwarts, the lake, Forbidden Forest, Hogsmeade, etc look like. After 20+ years of imagination it feels odd and exciting to see Hogwarts come to life in this way. Again, the movies done an amazing job of showing book readers what the world looked like but this game goes so much further. Exploring Hogwarts I ended up in the dungeons (where potions are), in the library, and on the way to Hogsmeade I wanted to go off exploring the forest, and everywhere else.
I can't believe how much I doubted this game and now how much I hate myself for it. In many ways this does justice to the books more than the movies. I really hope I get the chance to explore everywhere at my own pace. This is almost like a dream come true to explore Hogwarts at my own pace and leisure. I'm in love with this game so much. It would be criminal if this is a one off game. Again, I'm only two fucking hours into the game but I never want this to end. I'm likely 50, 60, 70..... 100 hours away from finishing this game but I don't want to leave this world. We need more games in the Harry Potter world like this.
Avalanche, you fucking magnificent bastards, well done! Thank you so much for this game.

I’ve been playing with the different graphics settings on PS5, honestly I think Performance HFR is what I’ll stick with. The lower resolution, lighting quality, and shadow pop-in are barely noticeable to me.

Game seems to be giving my wife the treatment. Oh to be a fly on the wall in our living room last night.
I'm playing Panzer Dragoon in the corner on a small monitor, just cursing like mad and developing carpal tunnel syndrome. Wife is on the couch cursing her head off too. "I fucking cast the spell!"

I love the game but comparing it to Elden Ring is like comparing Mario to Spyro the Dragon. They are so vastly different it is rather pointless to compare. Hogwarts has more in common with Yakuza than it does Elden Ring.

So I think I should have named my character Tom Baker instead of Archibald Gaunt.

They don't need to be similar for someone to say that they prefer HL.
They are both open world action rpg, enough of a similarity for many to compare the 2.
People compared horizon and zelda botw that were even more different.

Still waiting for my physical copy...
For people playing on PS5, quality vs performance?
I don't have a VRR capable TV, so it's either 30 or 60 for me.

I don't notice much difference. The bigger issue I have with the game is random pop in for NPCs/animations. Happens on both quality/performance modes.

So...I still haven't seen like anything from this game. I've seen the occasional trailer from months ago, but I actually haven't seen this game in action.
I know it's a prequel era type game, and that you're a student at Hogwarts, but that's it.
What's the setup? What exactly do you do? What's the story?

Quality or Quality RT (both are pretty stable 30)
There is a noticeable visual difference in comparison to performance mode (in lighting, shadows, and most notably LOD of vegetation and distant details)

Dammit, I'm really not a fan of 30fps anymore, after having been playing almost exclusively at 60 for two years.

Clearly I was talking about the motive on the handles and around the castle.
