45 Hours into Hogwarts Legacy still going strong

~ otomebro ~ Leave a comment

Hey Readers,

Let’s be real most articles coming out say that the main story is roughly 20 hours and most regular players are about 30-35 hours.

I am 45 hours in as of my last save and just now about to finish the main story. I have my list of things to still do. Such as finding all Shiney Magical Beasts, finishing landing platforms and my field guide as a whole.

I’ll admit I find the start of the game the most exciting. Getting your house sorted, finding your wand and the dueling club just a total blast.

It is nice that the game as you continue your story opens up for more freedom and what you can do with your free time between quests and classes but at times I struggle wanting to do the platforms, or the ancient wells of power.  I would rather find another class to do as a side quest, not just left to find something to do on my own

It’s an odd complaint for sure. I think it is just that too much of an open world can, for me as a gamer, be super overwhelming.

It’s okay to go offline

Hello Readers,

So i often think we as gamers need to remember its okay to go offline. You’re thinking okay Otome. What do you mean by that. Well let me tell you my dear reader.

I mean two things from that.

1. Don’t forget we live on this big ball with nature, and birds, and sunshine. Every now and then get out of your room, or house and see the outside world. Your mental health and eyes will thank you. Even if it just to decompress from that last boss battle, or that crazy round you just had in a shooter.

2. Also probably most importantly. Don’t forget to take time for you. Yes i know you’re thinking you game there for you already are taking time for you. Yes that is true enough but i mean more then that. Don’t forget your favorite shows or maybe that one anime you’ve been meaning to watch but you just haven’t had a moment to yourself when you get online to do that.

That is what going offline is for we gamers love our games. No duh, and we also love our gaming community we’ve built up of all our friends. However that said. I don’t know about you all but at times when i get online i go into the who is gonna invite me to their party first mode.

Don’t get me wrong it is wonderful to feel loved by my gaming friends but as someone who cut the cable cord and use my xbox to stream there are times where i just want a me day

If i join my friends later on great but i really want a day where i can binge watch some Downton Abbey or just get losy in a youtube hole and take a mental break from killing bosses or grinding that next level out.

Maybe you all can be in a party with friends who are gaming or doing their own thing while you are doing yours and if you can that is awesome. I know a few people like that but i would just remind you to take time for you.

Enjoy going offline and being in the moment as much as we all love going into our digital worlds of choice. 🙂

So here is my question for you all. Aside from gaming what is something you all do for you. Give me another hobby you like. 🙂 i can’t wait to read them.

Does anyone have a favorite guy or girl

Hey everyone Otome here at 5:43am my time and as I wait for my McDonald’s breakfast because I couldn’t sleep anymore. I got thinking. Does anyone, guy or girl have a favorite character from an Otome game; actually lets broaden that. Does anyone have any favorite character from a dating sim period. For me I am still on team Ignis from Cafe Enchante.

I’ll be the first to say it is not that others can’t get it. To me its is like falling in love with a character from your favorite novel that clicked for you. You always remember your first. Oh god I just realized my personal and gaming life hit a bit to close to home with me liking Ignis. Ha how life and art mix will always surprise me. Anywho moving on…

What drew you to that character in that visual novel or that otome game or that book. Was it the time period, the fact they could cook, were sweet, or maybe it was they were the bad boy, or the dark brooding vampire who you wanted to show that you could be their light when their life has been cast into a world of shadow.

Otome games I am noticing are helping me expand on what I missed in my youth, they allow me to explore loving the bad boy or the crazy gear head while safe in my condo from a pandemic lol. It makes me wonder when others play these games who do they go for. Are they exactly like they are in life or do they go for the complete opposite because it is a game.
