All Hogwarts Legacy Choices & Consequences

Almost every quest in Hogwarts Legacy features various dialogue options that can relatively shape your journey as a student and Ancient Magic wielder. While some don’t affect the storyline in the long run, others can provide powerful spells and intriguing cutscenes. So, if you want to know more about this crucial aspect of the game, here are all the choices and consequences of Hogwarts Legacy.

Choices & Consequences in Hogwarts Legacy, Explained

To start, your choices throughout your adventure don’t necessarily impact the outcome of the entire game, so you don’t have to worry too much about making the wrong selection. The most important decisions are primarily to do with your house and Sebastian Sallow’s Relationship quests, including Common Rooms and the Unforgivable curses.

When you can give or take an item in a side mission, each character will more or less perform the same reaction (get mad at you if you steal it or be gracious if you give it to them.) In addition, players can sometimes charge a fee for specific tasks, like in Flying Off The Shelves, and get some extra pocket change (the student/adult will get angry regardless.)

Any choices that are left out from this list will relatively have a similar end result and not produce a unique cutscene. However, as mentioned before, most decisions will not influence you to go down a dark or heroic path, and it’s moreso a chance to learn about a particular topic.
