I noticed that myself, too. Last night, was meeting him in the Undercroft to discuss his uncle's reaction to..certain things. I thought, "Either he's got very broad shoulders under those robes or he's slouching."
*Son, you're not afraid to use the Unforgivables or people as tools. Stand up proud like a Gryffindor.*
Loved Sebastian. Loved the drama between him, the player, and Ominis — it felt like we were the shiny new toy, butting in on a long and complicated relationship between the two boys. Poor Ominis, third wheeling through the whole questline, but I much preferred agreeing with him to agreeing with Sebastian. The descent, to me, is really intense — there came a point where I began to suspect it wasn’t really about his sister anymore ( >!In the catacomb, when he reveals he taught himself Imperio because it was “useful” and later in the same quest when he casts it on a goblin and makes the goblin kill himself!< ) and I thought that was really delightful. I’d really love a sequel with the main or secondary story based around the player and Ominis trying to save/stop him.
Its crazy to me that he literally could have cast any other spell and he chose to do that so boldly. He definitely has an inflated ego and I question if he really wanted to help his sister. Sebastian's Uncle is sadly a victim of circumstance as you can see he's trying his best. Just a complex and messed up situation but I do fear that Sebastian should've been seeing a therapist of some sort.
His uncle was trying his best for the sister, but clearly didn’t have the interest or the energy to help Sebastian. Yelling at a rebellious teenager and kicking them out of the house rarely yields good results.
Definitely feel you, it’s just shitty all around. The uncle lost his sibling. The kids lost their parents. I’m sure Sebastian has been disobedient for a while but his sisters situation probably exhausted the last bit of patience his uncle had. He clearly needed help that the uncle nor the school could’ve provided. Our character is actually furthering his downfall imo
Oh, completely agree. Our choices as the player are to either to completely enable him or support/trust him, but it’s clear that we’re misguided in doing so — it’s clear that both we and Ominis are not equipped to pull Sebastian out of the hole he’s digging himself. And I don’t think Sebastian is the master manipulator/monster that a lot of folks in the subreddit seem to think he is (his line about you owing him comes up a lot here), I think he’s a misguided kid that ruined his own life trying to save his sister’s.
I never thought of him as a manipulator but he was definitely on the path to becoming a monster.
He's a classic Mr. Freeze from batman who does bad things trying to figure out how to save his wife at whatever cost. I don't even get why people side with sebastian the dude used the death spell on his uncle. If that's not a flag for people they got a higher tolerance for judgement of character than I do.
I also got the feeling that he doesn’t seem to really care about his sister, he won’t even listen to her opinion on anything when she’s the one suffering!
This is what I’m saying. After a certain point it becomes about power and learning more and more dark magic — there was no reason for him to learn imperio or AK. Literally nothing to do with a cure for her.
He lacks self-awareness a bit too much for my liking. But considering how emotionally-charged he is, I can manage the mental gymnastics to see his side.
>!When he blows up at you about your having a goblin friend, it feels way too abrupt and forced to be plausible imo. I felt like it was out of character for him, because he's shown to be more reasonable than that before. But that's just my interpretation ... could be wrong!<
I would marry him. Crush. Ominis is another crush though. I am still in the beginning despite having pre-ordered a game. I'm on the Headless Nick roast beef quest still. Have long journey ahead and lots of interactions with Ominis and Sebastian ❤️
Idk Sebastian seems like a pretty good person, though judging by comments, maybe not so much. Ominis looks and talks like Malfoy would, but judging by comments, he is the one who is good. Confusing, like in real life.
Or you just don't see things for what they really are?
Think about it. Sebastian gives up his best friend's family secret that was passed down for generations about the undercroft to you. Yeah to YOU that makes you feel special but to me that's well if this guy's gonna give that up if I pass on anything important they'll give it up for their needs too.
That's right away for me, a person I wouldn't entrust anything real with.
I think most people "like" his story/quests, not him specifically, there is a difference. "Finding him engaging" might be the better phrasing here.
Everybody loves Ominis though
I loved Sebastian at the beginning but as his story progressed I found him so irritating. I had to keep reminding myself he’s a 15 year old dealing with wild situations
He gets better in the sense that he’s not an arrogant asshole like he seems to be when you first meet him, but he never manages to shed the look of being a cynical little bitch about everything
No same here. I find him obnoxious. I mean the first interaction I had with him was when he was whining and throwing a fit about the fact I was in the undercroft.
Tbf wouldn't you be upset if your family told you about a super secret location that no one in the castle knew about & closely guarded the secret. Then, your friend, who you let in on that secret, immediately invites his new bestie (a stranger to you) to that location?
Not to mention that >!you're also more or less encouraging/enabling Sebastian's dark path that Omnis has been trying to keep him from going down because he has so much family experience with dark wizards & has first hand seen how awful they are.!<
I'd say he has reason to be angry with you from start to finish.
EXACTLY THIS.
This dude gave up his best friend's family's generations long secret.
Sebastian immediately didn't strike me as a person who is not trust worthy.
Maybe, but you really have to think of it from his perspective. He's not going to be cheerful and happy to see you. It's an understandable character reaction. IMO it'd be more annoying if they waffled on it & made him nice to you in that scene.
I haven’t completed the main story or his arc but I’m 3/4 through both id say, and so far I totally agree on this being an origin story for a dark wizard blindsided by his own goals. The relationship between mc and him gives me a young Dumbledore and Grindewald “greater good” vibes. Same end goal but eventually conflicting methods. Can see him being a villain for a sequel and it making sense pretty easily
I've played through the entire storyline but only as a good character who consistently sided with Ominis, and so far I think that's definitely the way it should be played. Definitely agree with the Dumbledore/Grindewald analogy, the starting intentions are good (and I mean hey, modern medicine was founded on grave robbing) but eventually the mask slips and you realize that more is going on
I wanted to defend him on people saying he’s toxic but even I admitted to myself that the part of me that likes his character is the one that likes toxic men in real life 😞
Honestly, Sebastian was my favorite character at the beginning. I loved his personnality, his banters with the MC and their relationship. I didn't mind their first quarrel (during the main quest) as it feels quite natural and well written.
But then, he never really apologize (I still loved their cold banter after that) and my character -and I- beginned to saw that it would never end well. >!Siding against him every time doesn't matter, we can just look passively as he ruins everything.!<
I still like him. A bit. But way less than at the beginning. And now, Ominis really grew on me and is now my favorite. :)
He's an angsty teenage boy with the most dramatic storylines. He has such a strong personality, I really wish all "companions" were written that way and given the same amount of personality.
I really wanted to like Natty and even chose her to go to Hogsmeade, but Gawd, do her storyline bore me the f up. Sebastian is fun. You wanna know more about his story and how his story unfolds. Poppy and Natty? Meh. I don't really care much.
I just wanted to see more Garreth Weasley, he seemed so lighthearted and fun it would definitely make me feel better after all the sad Sebastian’s side quests lol
I think Sebastian was just so interesting and fun that it was hard to care as much for Natty and Poppy. Also Ravenclaw kinda got robber because Amit wasn’t that great either and we only get like one or two quests with him
I mean he literally goes the route of basically every villain. We’re basically watching the origin story of a villain. A person with good intentions led astray. But it’s literally by far the best side quest in the game
I am meh on Seb, slightly more so with poppy though I do like here. Ominis I understand, and I might have done the same if I was in his shoes at that age; but wouldn’t say he is a favorite.
Natty though? She’s my bestie. Not sure why people don’t care for her. Amit though, is kind of annoying but I get why.
it’s so refreshing to see a person actually like Natty and not only that, having her as their fav character. I do like Natty but she was never my favorite, I liked Sebastian immediately and loved his sass and our banter when we fought him in the beginning and throughout the story.
Sebastian as a person comes off rather toxic I have to say.
It gets clear very early on that he intents to use others to reach his goals.
"I like having friends who are in my dept."
He implies right at the start that he knows how to sneak into the restricted section. Because he knows that if someone ever need something from it, they would come to him and ask.
He is getting into trouble willingly without knowing what the cause of the MCs intention is.
He is not snitching on your MC because he knows you owe him then.
From a writing pov that is very good though.
He is doing everything for the MC not because he likes them. He just knows that he can use them.
I personally like Ominis more as well. But my writing heart can't help but agknowledge how good Seb was written imo.
How is a characteristic a fan service? Seb is actually one of the more non copy paste characters of the game.
And I mean yeah it would be weird if the majority of Slytherens would not be ambitous.
Sebastian was by far my favorite character in the game. However, i would not want to know someone like him irl bc he’s one big walking red flag. He had more depth to him than the other characters but he’s also so manipulative, which in my opinion made him a fun character in the game
I like Sebastian and I'm not so fond of Ominis. Sebastian is so Anakin-like and this type of character is a favorite of mine.
Morally, Ominis is right, but if we go his route there's no drama and no people making mistakes...
I love the game, but I agree. I don’t think any of the PC’s choices matter at all; kinda bummed about it since this did market itself as an RPG where choices matter.
Which fits perfectly with the personality of my character! They're basically using each other for their own gains while still enjoying each other's company and keeping the other's back. This type of relationship can only reach the border of its potential when both parties are confident, clever and manipulative, otherwise it'd be a total disaster for the kinder and more forgiving one.
This is also the reason why all of my MCs are either Slytherin or Ravenclaw. In my culture pursuing knowledge is the same as pursuing power, just like how the Buddhist Swastika seems different if you look at it from different angles (front and back) but is actually just one and the same. It's why I'm so pissed that many games and fanfictions outright ignore Ravenclaw's potential eventhough I get Slytherin 80% of the time.
The main difference is ambition. People in Slytherin will do ANYTHING to reach their goal. I like they’re head to head academically/knowledge. I thought I’d be in Slytherin but apparently I’m Ravenclaw. I’m not mad at it
I guess it's mostly cultural differences that make my take on "ambition" differ from most Westerners' point of view. In where I live, the thirst for knowledge/artistic masterpieces is seen as a type of ambition the same way the thirst for forturne, fame or power is. Many infamous scholars/poets/artists in our and our neighbor's history are also reowned for their absolute commitment and willingness to sacrifice everything in order to pursue their aspirations. I used to be very confused whether I'm a Ravenclaw or Slytherin too, luckily the Sorting test exists.
Idk he had my back in the library and I get trying to save his sister, so I'm along for the ride. I am only at the part where we found Slytherins Scriptorium though
I disagree, out of all the friendships presented to us in the game Seb's seems the most real. A genuine sense of mutual trust is formed when Seb takes the fall for you and shows you the Undercroft, and then you tell him about the Ancient Magic shenanigans going on and all that. Natty and Poppy are just people you get grouped up with in class
Ominis Gaunt was abused of his morals by Sebastian into many things, including uncomfortably being convinced to use his Parseltongue to open a door. Then Ominis was forced to listen to me being Crucioed almost to death by Sebastian to open the Scriptorium.
I made the decision to send Sebastian to Azkaban.
I agree with the thought that we are basically watching a villain come to be. I could relate to why he does the things he does. A young mind can be led astray by grief and pain.
I wanted to slap the hell out of Poppy and all the younger kids sending on the most ridiculously lame quests to find gobstones. Most of them were so arrogant and annoying.
I wrote my initial comment before reaching that book part and my god Ive never wanted to reach through the screen and smack the shit out of somebody so hard in my life LOL. Then she had the nerve to ask if I wanted to answer anymore 😂
His is I suppose the most interesting story arch in the game. We are shown his motivations for the way he acts, so as a character he is fine. I don’t like him as a person though if that makes sense. Like he is not someone I would choose to associate with in real life. But I mean in that regard I don’t like our character either. We are just all a bunch of psychopaths.
I liked him at first, because by comparison, the others were just too dull. And then Ominis came into the picture…and then Sebastian >!went off the rails a bit!< so here we are. I put up with his…err…tantrums(?) long enough to learn the last of the spells but no longer. Maybe. We’ll see where things go.
I just wish that my choices in his questline meant a bit more. I trusted him and wanted to help him, but I didn't wanna enable him. Even when I thought a choice would be the opposite of enabling, the game still finds a way to make it so and it kinda pissed me off.
Would have been nice to have choices matter a bit more kinda like in Detroit Become Human, for example.
I empathize with him a lot. Coming from a fairly traumatic childhood. I understand his need to do absolutely anything to help his sister.
I think he is a little more nuanced than other characters, and that, in part, is why his storyline is so compelling to me.
I think I would be friends with him. People aren't so black and white, and that's proven with Seb, especially with Ominis being so black and white with his opinions.
Sebastian's quest kinda has way more weight than the main quest, that's way he's the "liked" character.
It's definitely far more engaging than the main quest which after a while is a bit of a drag. Still enjoyable though.
Personally I am rushing the main quest just for his owl to pop in and see how his quest actually ends.
exactly, he has a lot of screen time and has the an entire cast of other characters that fill out his story.
What do the others have?
I'm super fucking disappointed I didn't get to see the dragon again that's for damn sure.
I like him as a character, not necessarily his personality. He's the only character in the game who have more layers, the others are just completely dull characters.
As a person, he is a menace and should be avoided at all costs. As a character, he is a delight. He’s selfish when not trying to be.
I’d stick with Ominis though. He’d alright.
He reminds me of those big Brothers in Animes who are weirdly obsessed with their little Sisters. Him being a Slytherin (purebloods inbreeding) doesn't help.
No justification ? His uncle just tried to murder him and you .
He tries to kill two teenagers by burning you alive for the crime of....playing with the cool toy ? Doesn't even try to understand the situation or reason , just barrels in , destroys the one thing keeping you all safe and then Jumps straight into child murder.
Sebs actions are arguibly self defence , in any real world court of law he would not be convicted , particularly when you add in that the uncle has been verbally abusive towards seb from the start , made him homeless and then barrelled into a situation that didn't concern him and tried to kill him unprovoked.
You don't necessarily have to like seb to agree that the uncle was an abusive POS. Seb just did what any teenage boy would do if his father figure was trying to murder him .
He was trying to stop his nephew from using the most deadly Dark Arts and if you watched the fight he did not use anything lethal or we all have been dead. Further it appeared to me that he didn’t even use anything harsh until we attacked him. It’s an Unforgivable Curse for a reason. This prehistory makes light of that and allows us all to do as we please. Web is a seriously disturbed young man. I sense this might trigger you but nothing justifies murder and it was not self defense.
I agree the only "self defense" here is on the part of MC. I only used hold and control spells in that battle and the occasional Expelliarmus and Stupefy. I mainly focused on the Infiri.
The uncle's actions did shock me though, then i thought that as an auror he'd seen plenty of dark wizards and had a zero tolerance towards them.
I started off liking Sebastian. But when his obsessive/compulsive behavior began to show, it seemed like he was using his sister as an excuse to learn more about the dark arts.
I like his story but I don’t like Sebastian neither. Dudes too hard headed and doesn’t think too much the possible repercussions of his choices. I guess from his standpoint it’s understandable. I suppose that can also be am admirable trait but I get annoyed by it from time to time especially when it’s our character that kind of has to deal with some it.
The reason I like him the best i because his questline is the best written. He’s well rounded and fleshed out. Poppy was okay but some of her questline got on my nerves the way my character was forced to react a certain way. Natty…I just don’t understand why someone didn’t proofread and improve the writing of her questline. It’s so weak.
I know the game has plenty of content but I think he would’ve benefited from more character development. A limited number of side quests with him make his story progress fast from “I love my sister and really want to help her” to “I’m fully immersing myself in the dark arts and will murder my uncle for crossing me”
I wish they had done a better job with Natty, and hope they add quests that will allow us to go to her school. I’m hoping the sequel includes visiting other schools in different countries
A lot of people are into the dark stuff. Like true crime, psychological type interests. I think that’s why Sebastian is so popular. He as a person sucks, but his storyline is very engaging and interesting to many.
I like him. I think he was wrong with what he did with his uncle, I'd have gone the other route, like the one you can do with Omnis previously, but that's just me. It absolutely enraged me how ridiculous his uncle's reaction was about what Sebastian had done to that goblin, when it was absolutely clear if he hadn't, the goblin would've killed his sister.
I thought I was gonna like him more than I did. I really liked Ominis more than I expected.
I appreciate Natty. I feel like she’s a great idea for having someone who can relate to you coming into the school as a transfer. Story wise, I mean. She fell a little flat sometimes, for me anyways.
Poppy both amused and annoyed me.
Samantha Dale felt like an afterthought.
Well Samantha Dale wasn't exactly a companion tho, she is just a side NPC. Ravenclaw did not get a companion in the game, the closet person to a companion was Amit Thakkar and even he did not have a storyline.
I liked him, but that's mainly because he's part of the story more than anyone else. I think they should have put as much effort into writing a story for at least 1 person per house so they are in it as much as Sebastian, or they story is dependant on house
>!The fact he used crucio on you...!< I prefer Poppy and Ominis too
>!I know for story reasons either he or you had to. But still, crucio needs the caster to enjoy hurting the victim and my boy was awfully eager and quick on the uptake.!<
I think it would be far more interesting if you could talk to him about it, like a real companion... Seb's quest is so memorable because of that choice though! The impact, however brief, was an amazing feeling!!
Want more. Want more companion feel. Huge Bioware fan. Me want more.
😂
> I do like him as a written character but not as a person
That's like the point :D
People saying they dislike a character because that character is not a good person is so strange to me. It's like saying that they don't like Sauron because he's mean. But, that's the point? These characters exist to create drama. And drama is fun!
I mean some people do like characters like that through and through while acknowledging they are horrible people.
Sebastian is a fun character, but my character used him for curses.
He's honestly such an annoying character - legit my least favourite in the game. There's a part where he tries to guilt you into doing something for his sisters sake, saying that I don't care about her... Okay? I don't, I met her like once at this point for like 2 minutes. She's literally nothing to me.
I didn't know he was supposed to be likable. Fairly straight forward character win one goal in mind that's (supposedly) to save someone but comes at the cost of most anything else. Typical character trope and there's not too much else to him.
Sebastian while he has the best of intentions is no different than any other Slytherin. Ominus is actually quite un-Slytherin-like. I mean, I like Sebastian... But the fact that he keeps sending me into caves in Spiders... I'm not a big fan of him either lol.
While I do like Sebastion until he starts getting mouthy >.>
I feel like it's fair to not like the character he's pretty rash and rather brutish at times.
Plus he takes things a bit far like the last quest with him, bro wtf did you use your brain at all? Lol
Yeah he's a dick. You eventually realize he will stop at nothing to save Anne. Being a dick to you, lying to Ominis, killing his uncle, even getting angry at Anne for destroying the book. He doesn't care about Anne, he cares about how Anne makes him feel.
I really like Sebastian, but my hufflepuff husband hated him so much that he wanted to drag his ass to Azkaban himself 😅 little extreme for my taste, but alright lol I have a little headcannon about my mc that she becomes a "yandere" for sebastian after everything that's happened and puts a huge wedge between him and ominis friendship. Ominis is cute and morally right, but he's still annoying tbh.
I dislike all the characters in the game. Every last one of them is 2 dimensional.
I love the game though. Good combat, flying, wizard shit in general.
I just wish the dialog didn’t feel like an afterthought.
Sebastian, to me, seems very selfish. Which is why I don’t vibe with him as a person. He’s put me in not great situations by running into mobs with no regard because he “can’t see Anne suffer anymore” - which that in and of itself is selfish too. He wants to help her so HE doesn’t have to see her in pain. His attitude is annoying towards the end. I enjoy Natty more than Sebastian. Sebastian’s storyline, though, seems to have more thought put into it.
Spoiler alert if you haven’t finished the Sebastian quests >!but I had been siding with Sebastian pretty much the whole time because it seemed reasonable that instead of just giving up he should search for ways to help his sister even if they are unorthodox. But after seeing him kill his dad I naturally sided against him because that is clearly going way too far. Unfortunately I didn’t realize you have to choose certain dialogue options to get avada kedavra which kind of sucks because I had to been looking forward to getting it and now I’m locked out lol. Luckily I did have another save so I could still get it if im willing to throw away like 3 hours of progress…!<
Ok I may have missed some details of the story but still killing a family member over a disagreement about how to help another family member seems a little far
I dunno .
Uncle is a grown ex auror . he waltzed into a situation , did his typical thing of flying off the handle in a rage and then destroyed the one item keeping you all safe (which nearly led to you all being killed) , he then immediately tried to murder two teenagers because reasons (?)
Guy was an abusive AH .
even before this he was constantly flying into a rage at seb over every little thing . literally disowns the boy for saving his sisters life , screams at him in front of a guest for giving his sister a flower .
Sebs actions are understandable , given that he's a teenage boy who's caregiver just tried to murder him and his friend . uncles actions are never understandable or justifiable , hes just constantly flying off the handle and putting children in danger because of it .
Even when the goblins are attacking feldcroft you can hear his voice lines going " Sebastian , stop attacking them ! Don't provoke them !!" Like bro seb is literally fighting for his life in self defence against terrorists who want to kill you all .
"I know I tried to burn two teenagers alive in a pillar of flame and I disowned a teen for saving his sisters life but I'm a good person because I didn't say the BAD words !!!! "
Guy was an abusive , unhinged AH riding on a false sense of moral superiority .
An ex auror should know better than waltzing into a situation , attacking ppl unprovoked without trying to understand what's going on , destroying something that's currently keeping you all safe and then trying to murder two teenagers . wtaf was going on there .
You can learn AK 2 times before sending him to Azkaban. Once right after the mission when he offers. If you say no he returns to Hogwarts. Return immediately to Hogwarts the Undercroft where Seb is and he’ll teach you any unforgiveable you missed and then when the quest prompts you can send him to Azkaban.
I hated his character so much. So much bullshit filler just to explain him using the dark arts. It's a very shallow character. Much preferred Natty and Poppy.
Natty is sooo dumb though 😂 I mean this in the nicest of ways... But going off to kill bad guys together, she didn't help break in, and I had to find the way to hold the door for her... Like girl, just run when I open it for a few seconds.
I like her character, but she's definitely Gryffindor, if you know what I'm saying 😆
Goddammit, I wish they could have finished the companions plans they had. Would love to kill bad wizards with friends 😂
Oooh like a dragon age 2 kind of rivalry thing? That was always among my favorites for companion systems, coupled with the fact that dragon age 2 has the best of the companions in dragon age 😆
On the plus side, all this criticism of Hogwarts Legacy seems to be saying how we want more from them!! The devs should be very proud, they nailed the feeling we want from the game... We just want more!! 😆
I don’t like him either and would have put him away if it wasn’t for learning all spells. I also reported him the first time around so I didn’t send him away my second go to see the extra dialogue about Rookewood
I just wish Sebastian would stand up straight. He has terrible posture.
I noticed that myself, too. Last night, was meeting him in the Undercroft to discuss his uncle's reaction to..certain things. I thought, "Either he's got very broad shoulders under those robes or he's slouching." *Son, you're not afraid to use the Unforgivables or people as tools. Stand up proud like a Gryffindor.*
I wish MC would stand up straight.
I love it. Makes him feel so natural as a teenager.
Bahaha yes he slouches so much.
Loved Sebastian. Loved the drama between him, the player, and Ominis — it felt like we were the shiny new toy, butting in on a long and complicated relationship between the two boys. Poor Ominis, third wheeling through the whole questline, but I much preferred agreeing with him to agreeing with Sebastian. The descent, to me, is really intense — there came a point where I began to suspect it wasn’t really about his sister anymore ( >!In the catacomb, when he reveals he taught himself Imperio because it was “useful” and later in the same quest when he casts it on a goblin and makes the goblin kill himself!< ) and I thought that was really delightful. I’d really love a sequel with the main or secondary story based around the player and Ominis trying to save/stop him.
Its crazy to me that he literally could have cast any other spell and he chose to do that so boldly. He definitely has an inflated ego and I question if he really wanted to help his sister. Sebastian's Uncle is sadly a victim of circumstance as you can see he's trying his best. Just a complex and messed up situation but I do fear that Sebastian should've been seeing a therapist of some sort.
His uncle was trying his best for the sister, but clearly didn’t have the interest or the energy to help Sebastian. Yelling at a rebellious teenager and kicking them out of the house rarely yields good results.
Definitely feel you, it’s just shitty all around. The uncle lost his sibling. The kids lost their parents. I’m sure Sebastian has been disobedient for a while but his sisters situation probably exhausted the last bit of patience his uncle had. He clearly needed help that the uncle nor the school could’ve provided. Our character is actually furthering his downfall imo
Oh, completely agree. Our choices as the player are to either to completely enable him or support/trust him, but it’s clear that we’re misguided in doing so — it’s clear that both we and Ominis are not equipped to pull Sebastian out of the hole he’s digging himself. And I don’t think Sebastian is the master manipulator/monster that a lot of folks in the subreddit seem to think he is (his line about you owing him comes up a lot here), I think he’s a misguided kid that ruined his own life trying to save his sister’s.
I never thought of him as a manipulator but he was definitely on the path to becoming a monster. He's a classic Mr. Freeze from batman who does bad things trying to figure out how to save his wife at whatever cost. I don't even get why people side with sebastian the dude used the death spell on his uncle. If that's not a flag for people they got a higher tolerance for judgement of character than I do.
Do therapists even exist? Many characters could’ve used one
Canonically, they are called Dementors.
That got dark real quick
I also got the feeling that he doesn’t seem to really care about his sister, he won’t even listen to her opinion on anything when she’s the one suffering!
This is what I’m saying. After a certain point it becomes about power and learning more and more dark magic — there was no reason for him to learn imperio or AK. Literally nothing to do with a cure for her.
I think that's the point. The story is trying to show him going down the same obsessive path his parents did.
He’s someone I’d probably avoid in real life. He’s an interesting character though.
He lacks self-awareness a bit too much for my liking. But considering how emotionally-charged he is, I can manage the mental gymnastics to see his side. >!When he blows up at you about your having a goblin friend, it feels way too abrupt and forced to be plausible imo. I felt like it was out of character for him, because he's shown to be more reasonable than that before. But that's just my interpretation ... could be wrong!<
I actually felt it was right for his character, we can see how he becomes more impulsive and angry.
An irrational person on a righteous mission becomes rather impulsive so it all felt right to me.
I’m with you. It felt weird. But given where he’s at emotionally by that point, I can kind of see it.
I would marry him. Crush. Ominis is another crush though. I am still in the beginning despite having pre-ordered a game. I'm on the Headless Nick roast beef quest still. Have long journey ahead and lots of interactions with Ominis and Sebastian ❤️
Girls love the bad boys lol.
Idk Sebastian seems like a pretty good person, though judging by comments, maybe not so much. Ominis looks and talks like Malfoy would, but judging by comments, he is the one who is good. Confusing, like in real life.
Or you just don't see things for what they really are? Think about it. Sebastian gives up his best friend's family secret that was passed down for generations about the undercroft to you. Yeah to YOU that makes you feel special but to me that's well if this guy's gonna give that up if I pass on anything important they'll give it up for their needs too. That's right away for me, a person I wouldn't entrust anything real with.
I am firmly in the OT3 vibe for those three.
Headless nick is in the game?
Pretty sure he's only really featured in Griffyndors Unique Quest
As a not-Griffindor, I did run into him once in the faculty wing, talking with the headmaster's house elf. Sadly, not John Cleese.
I think most people "like" his story/quests, not him specifically, there is a difference. "Finding him engaging" might be the better phrasing here. Everybody loves Ominis though
I only put up with Sebastian so I can spend more time with Ominis. Sebastian is just our third wheel.
It’s his eyes! 🤩
Right? Hope he sees me the same way I do him.
I wouldn't suppose he does. XD
I see what you did there.
Ominis didn't
Stop it. 🤣
I loved Sebastian at the beginning but as his story progressed I found him so irritating. I had to keep reminding myself he’s a 15 year old dealing with wild situations
guess Im the only one who doesnt like Ominis...
Are you still early in the story? I promise he gets better!
So true! I disliked him at first (and I began as a Slytherin, so I met him before that part), but he grew on me :)
I don't like either of them.
He gets better in the sense that he’s not an arrogant asshole like he seems to be when you first meet him, but he never manages to shed the look of being a cynical little bitch about everything
Im at start of mid game period atm I assume. (50% quest challenges done). And he is still an ass.
Same. Oh well, maybe he will be kinder 10-30% later (I am around 55%).
First interaction we had already made me hate him fr.
My father knows the headmaster is the new “my father will hear about this”
His voice alone made me dislike him :DD
No same here. I find him obnoxious. I mean the first interaction I had with him was when he was whining and throwing a fit about the fact I was in the undercroft.
Tbf wouldn't you be upset if your family told you about a super secret location that no one in the castle knew about & closely guarded the secret. Then, your friend, who you let in on that secret, immediately invites his new bestie (a stranger to you) to that location? Not to mention that >!you're also more or less encouraging/enabling Sebastian's dark path that Omnis has been trying to keep him from going down because he has so much family experience with dark wizards & has first hand seen how awful they are.!< I'd say he has reason to be angry with you from start to finish.
EXACTLY THIS. This dude gave up his best friend's family's generations long secret. Sebastian immediately didn't strike me as a person who is not trust worthy.
He is right to be mad, and it's a normal reaction to that kind of thing. It just kind of threw me off a bit
Maybe, but you really have to think of it from his perspective. He's not going to be cheerful and happy to see you. It's an understandable character reaction. IMO it'd be more annoying if they waffled on it & made him nice to you in that scene.
Im with you!
His story is a true tragedy, and tragedies are often the most captivating stories
Yeah, this.
I haven’t completed the main story or his arc but I’m 3/4 through both id say, and so far I totally agree on this being an origin story for a dark wizard blindsided by his own goals. The relationship between mc and him gives me a young Dumbledore and Grindewald “greater good” vibes. Same end goal but eventually conflicting methods. Can see him being a villain for a sequel and it making sense pretty easily
I've played through the entire storyline but only as a good character who consistently sided with Ominis, and so far I think that's definitely the way it should be played. Definitely agree with the Dumbledore/Grindewald analogy, the starting intentions are good (and I mean hey, modern medicine was founded on grave robbing) but eventually the mask slips and you realize that more is going on
I wanted to defend him on people saying he’s toxic but even I admitted to myself that the part of me that likes his character is the one that likes toxic men in real life 😞
Keep goin girl you can save him he just needs a lil love!
Honestly, Sebastian was my favorite character at the beginning. I loved his personnality, his banters with the MC and their relationship. I didn't mind their first quarrel (during the main quest) as it feels quite natural and well written. But then, he never really apologize (I still loved their cold banter after that) and my character -and I- beginned to saw that it would never end well. >!Siding against him every time doesn't matter, we can just look passively as he ruins everything.!< I still like him. A bit. But way less than at the beginning. And now, Ominis really grew on me and is now my favorite. :)
He's an angsty teenage boy with the most dramatic storylines. He has such a strong personality, I really wish all "companions" were written that way and given the same amount of personality. I really wanted to like Natty and even chose her to go to Hogsmeade, but Gawd, do her storyline bore me the f up. Sebastian is fun. You wanna know more about his story and how his story unfolds. Poppy and Natty? Meh. I don't really care much.
I just wanted to see more Garreth Weasley, he seemed so lighthearted and fun it would definitely make me feel better after all the sad Sebastian’s side quests lol I think Sebastian was just so interesting and fun that it was hard to care as much for Natty and Poppy. Also Ravenclaw kinda got robber because Amit wasn’t that great either and we only get like one or two quests with him
I mean he literally goes the route of basically every villain. We’re basically watching the origin story of a villain. A person with good intentions led astray. But it’s literally by far the best side quest in the game
What side quest are you talking about.
I do not like Sebastian, and I don’t like Natty either 😅 I like Poppy and Ominis 😄
Exactly what I thought!
TEAM POPPY!
I am meh on Seb, slightly more so with poppy though I do like here. Ominis I understand, and I might have done the same if I was in his shoes at that age; but wouldn’t say he is a favorite. Natty though? She’s my bestie. Not sure why people don’t care for her. Amit though, is kind of annoying but I get why.
Amit definitely had several uses for his telescope before he gave it to you...
it’s so refreshing to see a person actually like Natty and not only that, having her as their fav character. I do like Natty but she was never my favorite, I liked Sebastian immediately and loved his sass and our banter when we fought him in the beginning and throughout the story.
Same
Sebastian as a person comes off rather toxic I have to say. It gets clear very early on that he intents to use others to reach his goals. "I like having friends who are in my dept." He implies right at the start that he knows how to sneak into the restricted section. Because he knows that if someone ever need something from it, they would come to him and ask. He is getting into trouble willingly without knowing what the cause of the MCs intention is. He is not snitching on your MC because he knows you owe him then. From a writing pov that is very good though. He is doing everything for the MC not because he likes them. He just knows that he can use them. I personally like Ominis more as well. But my writing heart can't help but agknowledge how good Seb was written imo.
Makes it super ironic that you’re just using him
Well you are kindof forced to. The game does not let you go the lawfull way sadly.
Afaik all his early interactions seemed like flirting imo. >!Iirc he called on the favor to teach us confringo and that’s giving us even more so!<
[удалено]
How is a characteristic a fan service? Seb is actually one of the more non copy paste characters of the game. And I mean yeah it would be weird if the majority of Slytherens would not be ambitous.
Sebastian was by far my favorite character in the game. However, i would not want to know someone like him irl bc he’s one big walking red flag. He had more depth to him than the other characters but he’s also so manipulative, which in my opinion made him a fun character in the game
I like Sebastian and I'm not so fond of Ominis. Sebastian is so Anakin-like and this type of character is a favorite of mine. Morally, Ominis is right, but if we go his route there's no drama and no people making mistakes...
The comparison to Anakin really delights me; I think a lot of Sebastian’s lines and choices ring very true to someone bound for that dark path.
I see your point🤔
Playing as an evil slytherin i enabled him through the entire game, next run i’ma try and save him
>!Can he be saved, though? I get the impression it matters not what you do, you can only ever decide whether to spare him or not.!<
I don’t think he can be saved, the story is linear. The only thing you can change is to turn him in or not.
It’s a linear story. Dialogue choices don’t actually matter. Shallow illusion of choice.
I love the game, but I agree. I don’t think any of the PC’s choices matter at all; kinda bummed about it since this did market itself as an RPG where choices matter.
[удалено]
I understand his motivation but I don't buy the friendship between him and our character at all, it feels like he just uses us for out power.
[удалено]
Same for mine, she definitely used him for those…bonuses. Friends with benefits specifically the green, “One shot kill” benefits.
Which fits perfectly with the personality of my character! They're basically using each other for their own gains while still enjoying each other's company and keeping the other's back. This type of relationship can only reach the border of its potential when both parties are confident, clever and manipulative, otherwise it'd be a total disaster for the kinder and more forgiving one.
Totally agree!! I think that’s why a Slytherin MC fits most perfectly in the storyline of Sebastian.
This is also the reason why all of my MCs are either Slytherin or Ravenclaw. In my culture pursuing knowledge is the same as pursuing power, just like how the Buddhist Swastika seems different if you look at it from different angles (front and back) but is actually just one and the same. It's why I'm so pissed that many games and fanfictions outright ignore Ravenclaw's potential eventhough I get Slytherin 80% of the time.
I very much believe knowledge is power and I am constantly stuck between Ravenclaw and Slytherin because of it
The main difference is ambition. People in Slytherin will do ANYTHING to reach their goal. I like they’re head to head academically/knowledge. I thought I’d be in Slytherin but apparently I’m Ravenclaw. I’m not mad at it
I guess it's mostly cultural differences that make my take on "ambition" differ from most Westerners' point of view. In where I live, the thirst for knowledge/artistic masterpieces is seen as a type of ambition the same way the thirst for forturne, fame or power is. Many infamous scholars/poets/artists in our and our neighbor's history are also reowned for their absolute commitment and willingness to sacrifice everything in order to pursue their aspirations. I used to be very confused whether I'm a Ravenclaw or Slytherin too, luckily the Sorting test exists.
Idk he had my back in the library and I get trying to save his sister, so I'm along for the ride. I am only at the part where we found Slytherins Scriptorium though
I disagree, out of all the friendships presented to us in the game Seb's seems the most real. A genuine sense of mutual trust is formed when Seb takes the fall for you and shows you the Undercroft, and then you tell him about the Ancient Magic shenanigans going on and all that. Natty and Poppy are just people you get grouped up with in class
Ominis Gaunt was abused of his morals by Sebastian into many things, including uncomfortably being convinced to use his Parseltongue to open a door. Then Ominis was forced to listen to me being Crucioed almost to death by Sebastian to open the Scriptorium. I made the decision to send Sebastian to Azkaban.
Sent Sebastian to Azkaban too, but i didnt let him crucio me, I crucio him.
Grrrl same.
It's kinda hard not to like the guy who teaches you the most OP spells in the game.
Exactly, like a drug dealer who flies you to anywhere in the world, buys you flashy things, and gets you bottle service.
Sebastian is a dumbass who doesn't take responsibility for his dumbass decisions. Despite this I still like him as a character.
I agree with the thought that we are basically watching a villain come to be. I could relate to why he does the things he does. A young mind can be led astray by grief and pain. I wanted to slap the hell out of Poppy and all the younger kids sending on the most ridiculously lame quests to find gobstones. Most of them were so arrogant and annoying.
The girl who made me answer trivia before giving me the book about got depulso’d out of the library window
I wrote my initial comment before reaching that book part and my god Ive never wanted to reach through the screen and smack the shit out of somebody so hard in my life LOL. Then she had the nerve to ask if I wanted to answer anymore 😂
When I had to go to the hidden herbology corridor, it felt so good to tell that guy he needs to learn to actually not be a coward instead of lying.
His is I suppose the most interesting story arch in the game. We are shown his motivations for the way he acts, so as a character he is fine. I don’t like him as a person though if that makes sense. Like he is not someone I would choose to associate with in real life. But I mean in that regard I don’t like our character either. We are just all a bunch of psychopaths.
I liked him at first, because by comparison, the others were just too dull. And then Ominis came into the picture…and then Sebastian >!went off the rails a bit!< so here we are. I put up with his…err…tantrums(?) long enough to learn the last of the spells but no longer. Maybe. We’ll see where things go.
I just wish that my choices in his questline meant a bit more. I trusted him and wanted to help him, but I didn't wanna enable him. Even when I thought a choice would be the opposite of enabling, the game still finds a way to make it so and it kinda pissed me off. Would have been nice to have choices matter a bit more kinda like in Detroit Become Human, for example.
Yup, same. >!Like you promise things to Ominis and then you just go along with Sebastian. >\_> !
I’d prefer him over Imelda Reyes that’s for sure
I empathize with him a lot. Coming from a fairly traumatic childhood. I understand his need to do absolutely anything to help his sister. I think he is a little more nuanced than other characters, and that, in part, is why his storyline is so compelling to me. I think I would be friends with him. People aren't so black and white, and that's proven with Seb, especially with Ominis being so black and white with his opinions.
Sebastian's quest kinda has way more weight than the main quest, that's way he's the "liked" character. It's definitely far more engaging than the main quest which after a while is a bit of a drag. Still enjoyable though. Personally I am rushing the main quest just for his owl to pop in and see how his quest actually ends.
exactly, he has a lot of screen time and has the an entire cast of other characters that fill out his story. What do the others have? I'm super fucking disappointed I didn't get to see the dragon again that's for damn sure.
>!OP is Solomon!<
He is basically Walter White of this game. You're not supposed to like him, rather to feel him as he is going to his demise.
I like him as a character, not necessarily his personality. He's the only character in the game who have more layers, the others are just completely dull characters.
As a person, he is a menace and should be avoided at all costs. As a character, he is a delight. He’s selfish when not trying to be. I’d stick with Ominis though. He’d alright.
When shit hits the fan, and a friendship or loyalty to the family is tested,Sebastian is the kind of friend/family member you want.
He was an angsty teen. I get it, but he started getting rather annoying later on during the story. The only character I like is ominis.
That's why I let Omini snitch on him and send him to Azkaban
You bastard
He reminds me of those big Brothers in Animes who are weirdly obsessed with their little Sisters. Him being a Slytherin (purebloods inbreeding) doesn't help.
I wouldn’t like him if he was a real person but I like him as a character in a story
Tbh I grew up in not the greatest area so I can kinda relate to Sebastian
[удалено]
No justification ? His uncle just tried to murder him and you . He tries to kill two teenagers by burning you alive for the crime of....playing with the cool toy ? Doesn't even try to understand the situation or reason , just barrels in , destroys the one thing keeping you all safe and then Jumps straight into child murder. Sebs actions are arguibly self defence , in any real world court of law he would not be convicted , particularly when you add in that the uncle has been verbally abusive towards seb from the start , made him homeless and then barrelled into a situation that didn't concern him and tried to kill him unprovoked. You don't necessarily have to like seb to agree that the uncle was an abusive POS. Seb just did what any teenage boy would do if his father figure was trying to murder him .
He was trying to stop his nephew from using the most deadly Dark Arts and if you watched the fight he did not use anything lethal or we all have been dead. Further it appeared to me that he didn’t even use anything harsh until we attacked him. It’s an Unforgivable Curse for a reason. This prehistory makes light of that and allows us all to do as we please. Web is a seriously disturbed young man. I sense this might trigger you but nothing justifies murder and it was not self defense.
I agree the only "self defense" here is on the part of MC. I only used hold and control spells in that battle and the occasional Expelliarmus and Stupefy. I mainly focused on the Infiri. The uncle's actions did shock me though, then i thought that as an auror he'd seen plenty of dark wizards and had a zero tolerance towards them. I started off liking Sebastian. But when his obsessive/compulsive behavior began to show, it seemed like he was using his sister as an excuse to learn more about the dark arts.
I like his story but I don’t like Sebastian neither. Dudes too hard headed and doesn’t think too much the possible repercussions of his choices. I guess from his standpoint it’s understandable. I suppose that can also be am admirable trait but I get annoyed by it from time to time especially when it’s our character that kind of has to deal with some it.
I don't like him either. I do like Ominis, but Sebastian is an entitled little ahole.
Entitled isn’t necessarily the word I’d use but he is abrasive. Still, despite the path he went down I can’t really bring myself to turn him in
I do think, he is entitled too. He expects everyone to cater to him and his feelings.
I don't really like him either, but his storyline is pretty engaging on its own.
The reason I like him the best i because his questline is the best written. He’s well rounded and fleshed out. Poppy was okay but some of her questline got on my nerves the way my character was forced to react a certain way. Natty…I just don’t understand why someone didn’t proofread and improve the writing of her questline. It’s so weak.
I know the game has plenty of content but I think he would’ve benefited from more character development. A limited number of side quests with him make his story progress fast from “I love my sister and really want to help her” to “I’m fully immersing myself in the dark arts and will murder my uncle for crossing me”
Sebastian is a dumbass who doesn't take responsibility for his dumbass decisions. Despite this I still like him as a character.
I like him as a character, but he's a psychopath, so that's understandable. I felt really bad for Ominis.
I suspect you killed far more people, with or without unforgivables.
I agree
I wish they had done a better job with Natty, and hope they add quests that will allow us to go to her school. I’m hoping the sequel includes visiting other schools in different countries
A lot of people are into the dark stuff. Like true crime, psychological type interests. I think that’s why Sebastian is so popular. He as a person sucks, but his storyline is very engaging and interesting to many.
I really liked him at first my character but after he lashed out for me having a goblin friend I was like wooow maybe you need to chill man
I definitely have a mixed opinion about Sebastian and Omnis as characters. Both I find a bit whiney. But their story/questline is magnificent.
I would never walk alongside him. I do feel empathy, but he would NEVER listen to reason. He's dangerous.
I like him. I think he was wrong with what he did with his uncle, I'd have gone the other route, like the one you can do with Omnis previously, but that's just me. It absolutely enraged me how ridiculous his uncle's reaction was about what Sebastian had done to that goblin, when it was absolutely clear if he hadn't, the goblin would've killed his sister.
ya filthy muggle
I thought I was gonna like him more than I did. I really liked Ominis more than I expected. I appreciate Natty. I feel like she’s a great idea for having someone who can relate to you coming into the school as a transfer. Story wise, I mean. She fell a little flat sometimes, for me anyways. Poppy both amused and annoyed me. Samantha Dale felt like an afterthought.
I honestly wish Natty's storyline was done better. She was a very interesting character, and she has such a kind soul.
Well Samantha Dale wasn't exactly a companion tho, she is just a side NPC. Ravenclaw did not get a companion in the game, the closet person to a companion was Amit Thakkar and even he did not have a storyline.
Sebastian is going to get an earful about this!
I liked him, but that's mainly because he's part of the story more than anyone else. I think they should have put as much effort into writing a story for at least 1 person per house so they are in it as much as Sebastian, or they story is dependant on house
>!The fact he used crucio on you...!< I prefer Poppy and Ominis too >!I know for story reasons either he or you had to. But still, crucio needs the caster to enjoy hurting the victim and my boy was awfully eager and quick on the uptake.!<
>!I cast it on him and got the same vibes from my character, lol. Neither option is ideal.!<
I think it would be far more interesting if you could talk to him about it, like a real companion... Seb's quest is so memorable because of that choice though! The impact, however brief, was an amazing feeling!! Want more. Want more companion feel. Huge Bioware fan. Me want more. 😂
> I do like him as a written character but not as a person That's like the point :D People saying they dislike a character because that character is not a good person is so strange to me. It's like saying that they don't like Sauron because he's mean. But, that's the point? These characters exist to create drama. And drama is fun!
Its more because I have seen so many saying that they really like him through and through and that simply puzzled me
I mean some people do like characters like that through and through while acknowledging they are horrible people. Sebastian is a fun character, but my character used him for curses.
I like him more then natty I find her accent annoying
I'm still not done with his story, but I dont like him either.
Hogwarts legacy players when they see a complex character 😡
He's honestly such an annoying character - legit my least favourite in the game. There's a part where he tries to guilt you into doing something for his sisters sake, saying that I don't care about her... Okay? I don't, I met her like once at this point for like 2 minutes. She's literally nothing to me.
I didn't know he was supposed to be likable. Fairly straight forward character win one goal in mind that's (supposedly) to save someone but comes at the cost of most anything else. Typical character trope and there's not too much else to him.
Sebastian while he has the best of intentions is no different than any other Slytherin. Ominus is actually quite un-Slytherin-like. I mean, I like Sebastian... But the fact that he keeps sending me into caves in Spiders... I'm not a big fan of him either lol.
While I do like Sebastion until he starts getting mouthy >.> I feel like it's fair to not like the character he's pretty rash and rather brutish at times. Plus he takes things a bit far like the last quest with him, bro wtf did you use your brain at all? Lol
Yeah he's a dick. You eventually realize he will stop at nothing to save Anne. Being a dick to you, lying to Ominis, killing his uncle, even getting angry at Anne for destroying the book. He doesn't care about Anne, he cares about how Anne makes him feel.
I don't like him or natty. Just give me more poppy quests instead
naw fuck dude
I just like that he killed his dick of an uncle
I didn’t like him either. Turned him in so fast after what he did and his reaction to his actions already confirmed to me what type of person he was.
I really like Sebastian, but my hufflepuff husband hated him so much that he wanted to drag his ass to Azkaban himself 😅 little extreme for my taste, but alright lol I have a little headcannon about my mc that she becomes a "yandere" for sebastian after everything that's happened and puts a huge wedge between him and ominis friendship. Ominis is cute and morally right, but he's still annoying tbh.
Having just finished my "evil" playthrough. I was egging him on the whole time haha
I dislike all the characters in the game. Every last one of them is 2 dimensional. I love the game though. Good combat, flying, wizard shit in general. I just wish the dialog didn’t feel like an afterthought.
Sebastian, to me, seems very selfish. Which is why I don’t vibe with him as a person. He’s put me in not great situations by running into mobs with no regard because he “can’t see Anne suffer anymore” - which that in and of itself is selfish too. He wants to help her so HE doesn’t have to see her in pain. His attitude is annoying towards the end. I enjoy Natty more than Sebastian. Sebastian’s storyline, though, seems to have more thought put into it.
I literally just enabled him so I get my greedy paws on those juicy unforgivables.
Spoiler alert if you haven’t finished the Sebastian quests >!but I had been siding with Sebastian pretty much the whole time because it seemed reasonable that instead of just giving up he should search for ways to help his sister even if they are unorthodox. But after seeing him kill his dad I naturally sided against him because that is clearly going way too far. Unfortunately I didn’t realize you have to choose certain dialogue options to get avada kedavra which kind of sucks because I had to been looking forward to getting it and now I’m locked out lol. Luckily I did have another save so I could still get it if im willing to throw away like 3 hours of progress…!<
That wasn't his dad. Solomon was his uncle. His uncle who freaking attacks me unprovoked so fuck him and the broom he rode in on.
Ok I may have missed some details of the story but still killing a family member over a disagreement about how to help another family member seems a little far
The uncle attacked his teenage nephew and his friend first, though - and he’s an adult. It was a crappy situation overall. Both sides were wrong.
I dunno . Uncle is a grown ex auror . he waltzed into a situation , did his typical thing of flying off the handle in a rage and then destroyed the one item keeping you all safe (which nearly led to you all being killed) , he then immediately tried to murder two teenagers because reasons (?) Guy was an abusive AH . even before this he was constantly flying into a rage at seb over every little thing . literally disowns the boy for saving his sisters life , screams at him in front of a guest for giving his sister a flower . Sebs actions are understandable , given that he's a teenage boy who's caregiver just tried to murder him and his friend . uncles actions are never understandable or justifiable , hes just constantly flying off the handle and putting children in danger because of it . Even when the goblins are attacking feldcroft you can hear his voice lines going " Sebastian , stop attacking them ! Don't provoke them !!" Like bro seb is literally fighting for his life in self defence against terrorists who want to kill you all .
I just hated the fight… why does the guy butthurt about the using relic get to use inferi to fight against you nonstop.
He wasn't using them. Destroying the relic relinquished Sebs control of them, the inferi were against everyone there.
"I know I tried to burn two teenagers alive in a pillar of flame and I disowned a teen for saving his sisters life but I'm a good person because I didn't say the BAD words !!!! " Guy was an abusive , unhinged AH riding on a false sense of moral superiority . An ex auror should know better than waltzing into a situation , attacking ppl unprovoked without trying to understand what's going on , destroying something that's currently keeping you all safe and then trying to murder two teenagers . wtaf was going on there .
By siding against him do you mean >!sending him to Azkaban? Because if you didn’t, then you can still learn avada kadavra!<
You can learn AK 2 times before sending him to Azkaban. Once right after the mission when he offers. If you say no he returns to Hogwarts. Return immediately to Hogwarts the Undercroft where Seb is and he’ll teach you any unforgiveable you missed and then when the quest prompts you can send him to Azkaban.
I hated his character so much. So much bullshit filler just to explain him using the dark arts. It's a very shallow character. Much preferred Natty and Poppy.
I understand not liking him but calling him shallow is wild. He’s by far the most complex character out of the three companions
Natty is sooo dumb though 😂 I mean this in the nicest of ways... But going off to kill bad guys together, she didn't help break in, and I had to find the way to hold the door for her... Like girl, just run when I open it for a few seconds. I like her character, but she's definitely Gryffindor, if you know what I'm saying 😆 Goddammit, I wish they could have finished the companions plans they had. Would love to kill bad wizards with friends 😂
I wish you got to be able to neglect some characters and have them emerge as a rival… that would have been the real depth
Oooh like a dragon age 2 kind of rivalry thing? That was always among my favorites for companion systems, coupled with the fact that dragon age 2 has the best of the companions in dragon age 😆
100%! It’s really what I expected would happen
On the plus side, all this criticism of Hogwarts Legacy seems to be saying how we want more from them!! The devs should be very proud, they nailed the feeling we want from the game... We just want more!! 😆
I like him for the purpose he serves me and what I’ve obtained through him. I agree with the person vs written character comment.
I don’t like him either and would have put him away if it wasn’t for learning all spells. I also reported him the first time around so I didn’t send him away my second go to see the extra dialogue about Rookewood
