The Hogwarts Legacy game features significant differences between the four Hogwarts houses, which were initially thought to be limited to aesthetic variations. Each house has a unique common room with distinct locations, designs, and elements. Players can also interact with NPCs (non-player characters) from their house earlier in the game, gaining benefits and exclusive information.
A notable difference is the quest involving Richard Jackdaw, which is split into two parts. The first part varies depending on the player's house, with each house having a unique experience. The second part of the quest, set in the Forbidden Forest, is similar for all houses but with some differences.
The Slytherin version involves a house elf and a secret cave, while the Ravenclaw version features a quest from Ollivander. The Gryffindor version includes a ghost party, and the Hufflepuff version allows players to visit Azkaban, a location inaccessible to other houses.
The quest ultimately leads to the discovery of Jackdaw's tomb and the missing pages. The story is complex and involves Jackdaw's attempts to impress girls, his alleged thievery, and a possible framing of an innocent girl.
The differences in the game's story and quests offer replay value, as players can experience a unique storyline and locations depending on their chosen house.
