As for AI, there is an explanation here too – according to the manager, the employee who played the test build used “Unforgivable spellsthat have a crowd control effect. Simply put, using these skills makes opponents dumber, which was demonstrated during the broadcast. FinchStrife noted that the effect instills fear in the opponents, which prevents them from engaging in combat – which is why in the video you can see that the enemies are covering themselves with their hands.
There are other effects that affect the behavior of opponents. So, “Krucio» paralyzes enemies and takes them out of combat, and «Empire“Forces the enemy to fight on the side of the protagonist. In addition, the spellArresto Momentum” causes enemies to stop. During the demonstration, all three were shown, which led to misunderstanding on the part of the audience.
FinchStrife also emphasized that in order to avoid problems, the protagonist was controlled by a studio employee who plays Hogwarts Legacy daily and has already honed his skill – which is why the game may seem so easy from the outside.
Another element of criticism was the fact that the hero immediately had three of the most dangerous spells from “dark arts”, which does not fit well into the original universe from the books Joanne Rowling. However, according to the community manager, there is also an explanation for this.
The fact is that the combat system was demonstrated at a location called “Dark Arts Battle Arena”, which grants access to all relevant abilities. However, this is not an indicator that in the game itself the hero will be able to scatter spells right and left, for the use of which you can thunder in Azkaban. You can really get the opportunity to use them, but for this you have to try and go through certain storylines.
