***Hogwarts Legacy - RPG***

Bought this (mostly for my wife but I played it a bit as well) and enjoyed it enough, did find ourselves suddenly getting to the end and some of the pacing felt a bit off, I think due to the ability to fly, exploring the 'world' outside the castle didn't happen very organically for us which may have been a factor.

Also ended up really disliking the whole 'loot' system, from memory too many similar items that either did nothing or did very similar things, agree with @Rroff it would have been cool to have more unique aspects to items especially wands.

Saying that I have just upgraded the media pc so am intending on giving it another playthrough, first time was with a 6600k and 1080 so wasn't exactly a high end experience, now have a 5600 and 4070 which should at least let us bump up some settings and enjoy the scenary even more.

It makes quite a difference to this game being able to crank all the graphics options to high. The devs did a great job of replicating the atmosphere of the Wizarding world ( especially in Hogwarts & Hogsmeade ) and adding RT to the mix elevates it another notch.

Something which massively improves the look of the game is colour grading/external post processing to improve colours and clarity - there are some ReShade and/or mods for it but personally I found tweaking with nVidia FreeStyle worked best for me.

Thanks for highlighting those mods - will have a look at those options when I do a replay.

Yeah I can't remember what settings we ran it on, but no doubt we can get both a smoother *and* better looking experience this time!
 
This is one of those games that I have installed and yet fail to start it up. I've played it a lot when it was first released but maybe need to have another go. I think I had a graphics card update in between plays so should be interesting

I'll try and get some comparison screenshots of how I have it later - need to pull the settings off my other PC though and keep forgetting.

CPU perf seems dire in Hogsmeade (9800X3D) in this update with RT, seems a big hit from Ray Reconstruction and RT Geometry - how is it on the Intel?

Running great for me on a 12700K/4090.

Our latest free PC update brings stunning graphical enhancements, support for NVIDIA DLSS 4 and GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, and the long-awaited launch of official modding.

Ray tracing improvements baby! Will have to give this another play through now, this was the only game where I turned off RT as it was downright broken/****, hopefully they have indeed improved it.

#RTXON :cool:
 
looks like they have opened the game up further to modding by including a Creation kit, interested to see what comes out of that, but i have already finished the game and cant see me going back
 
Played a quick bit and damn, RT with ray reconstruction looks incredible now.

Also the new dlss transformer model really shines in this game!

Unfortunately traversal stutter is still there though.......
 
Can't get over how good dlss 4 is in this game. DLSS 3 as we all know was already better than native but this is in another league. Even ultra performance looks incredible. It even looks better than DLDSR and dlss cnn :cool:
