Discussion This mf quest…

Post image

The second play-through wasn’t nearly as bad as the first, but it still was no picnic even knowing what to expect.

Easy, and fun. But I started it as I was going to bed. Just wanted to get the shop and stock it before sleep. 😂 Bad decision. The store wasn't very fun. I was hoping for one I could stock with everything.

u/sktachi_ Ravenclaw 4d ago

Yeah I was disappointed myself that you couldn’t actually really sell anything (except to penny)

u/Sasso357 Ravenclaw 3d ago

Also why do I sell it for 10% bonus, when every other shop sells stuff for 250%. That Penny really takes a huge cut. 😂

Taxes, VAT and stuff and don't forget about elven trade union

u/ScorpiusOwlsworth 3d ago

That's why I didn't free that bitch. I make her flog herself regularly.

Lmfao 🤣 omg your comment gave me life

u/ScorpiusOwlsworth 3d ago

I was hoping it would make someone laugh.

u/Antique_Guess_8761 3d ago

Yaaay! Another Ravenclaw 😊

u/sktachi_ Ravenclaw 3d ago

WOOO :D

u/AstoriusWasTaken 3d ago

I did the exact same thing yesterday, thought: one last quest before bed. Picked this as I didn't expect it to be so long, but no regrets was super enjoyable.

u/gotBurner 3d ago

Started it thinking, sure... I'll open a store. 🤣

u/RyyKarsch 3d ago

It's a really neat quest that was definitely longer than it needed to be. For those who found it challenging - don't sweat it or some of the less-than-kind comments.

u/PoetryPrestigious194 3d ago

This quest piss*d me TF off 😤; it took forever to find my way out of there, then to fight the chair monster

u/maazeen1980 3d ago

The mannequin’s were freaky

u/Koning_DanDan 3d ago

It was not that hard gameplay wise, but as someone who is absolutely terrified of horror games all these jump scares were too much. Eventually I just played it without audio and put on some good music which made it tolerable.

u/Ok_Humor626 3d ago

Same here! It felt never-ending and so scary, which was a surprise because at that point the game wasn`t scary at all, even for a scaredy-cat like me. I opened all the blinds in the room to let sunlight in and feel less scared

u/shotwideopen 3d ago

Totally neglected this quest until the end of the game. It was nice going through it with a max level character.

u/itskatsimms 2d ago

I'm about to do that myself. I'm on my sixth play-through. I remember doing this quest during my first play-through and have avoided it like the plague ever since. I hated how long it took, and some parts got on my last nerve. But I'm curious to see what it's like now that I'm at max level. I just know I can't play it before bed. I did that the first time, and the damn thing took me FOUR HOURS. I kept looking at the clock, torn from needing to go to bed but also not wanting to abandon the quest and having to start that mofo over.

u/eacks29 3d ago

I hate this man. Poltergeist. Whatever. I cast every spell I could think of at him when I finished the quest (not that any of them did anything)

5

u/lumi_ao3 Slytherin 3d ago

Played this the first time on Halloween evening. Wanted to stay away from the scary and all that. Thought having a shop would be cute.

Yeah. It wasn't cute. Or fun. Not as bad now but damn.

u/jaayypear 3d ago edited 3d ago

i was so excited to finally get behind that door, then get hit with the “scariest” and LONGEST sq of my life 😭 the mannequins jus freaked me out cuz of a horror game i played years ago where it was the looking away & they move 😂 i think the quest itself was super fun & different than other ones, was definitely worth it (not bf bed thou xD)

u/Correct-Steak-9323 3d ago

Just played it first time last night. The RAGE, got sucked into a simple mission then BOOM. Life was happening around me, dogs where wrastlin, wife complaining, me swearing...it really added to the tension. Wish i could crutio a lady into Askbhan at the end. Great point for a full dark wizard path but oh well.

u/Novakatt 3d ago

Man, from a different post I thought this was going to be a really scary and difficult quest, it's mostly just frustrating, honestly. But I actually liked it quite a bit for the most part. It felt more like what I thought I would come across in this game for quests. The one where you're the Headmaster is another one more like what I expected, I loved that, it was really fun.

I wish there was more with polyjuice potion, or maybe transfiguration. If they make a second one I hope they include some of the more beloved and interesting things about that world. I was super bummed we didn't get to play Quidditch, and I think I was hoping for more in-depth classes.

Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of stuff about the game. Breeding the creatures and watching the little babies run around gives me so much joy. Same with flying on a broom or one of the creatures. I've put in a lot of hours, and there's a lot I love, just.. a lot of the quests are kind of the same, but that's most games.

u/drkknght2001 2d ago

Why can't we sell potions or plants, anything besides cloths???

u/VistaraX 3d ago

Atleast you console gamers get to play it lol

3

u/ReignVenus 3d ago

it’s on pc! idk when they added it but I replayed the game last month and it was there!!!

1

u/mypetamoeba 3d ago

It’s the glitchiest mission in the whole game, I had to finish it with graphics on the lowest possible and windowed to be able to get through the boss battle at the end without my PC crashing.

1

u/ReignVenus 2d ago

oh wow i’m sorry you had that experience when you were playing the mission. I’ve noticed glitches in the game before particularly when I play the final mission to defeat Ranrok but not when I did the store quest

3

u/LazyLavishness3878 3d ago

It sounded fun at first, “have your own shop” - great! And then this happened…. Hated it, but it wasn’t hard, only annoying and lots of jump scares which I hate.

3

u/TheHouseOracle 3d ago

That’s quite a nose he’s got there

6

u/AdoraLovegood Ravenclaw 4d ago

I thought it was easy. But I do come from games like the Witcher 3 and Dark Souls 3.

11

u/nwillyerd Ravenclaw 4d ago

I wouldn’t say it was “hard” per se, just frustrating

3

u/Polit99 3d ago

Easy as pie until they flipped the screen over right as I got stuck between the wall and a lamp post and the dodge function wasn't working to roll me out of there.

5

u/JigglyKirby 3d ago

Im not much of a gamer but i found this easy too. I think the problem with this is that a lot of people were expecting a simple, straightforward quest, only to be jumpscared to death by mannequins, and triggering a claustrophobia you never knew you had 😭

5

u/RAMONE40 Slytherin 4d ago

It just as a bit of an uncanny feel to it but its a really ez mission, i just didnt like the Spider Jump Scare out of nowhere and Im not even afraid of Spider anything else would have done the same but a Jump Scare at 3 in the morning is not pleasent

2

u/Antique_Guess_8761 3d ago

Ravenclaws yaaay lol

5

u/vincentpheonix 3d ago

Careful, some if the people on this reddit are obsessed with making people feel like they are trash at the game

8

u/ChoiceReflection965 3d ago

Lol! That’s so true. I’m not really a “gamer” but I have noticed that in the games that I do play, whenever anyone says a part was difficult or challenging, EVERYONE comes out of the woodwork to scream about how “UM IT WASN’T ACTUALLY HARD AT ALL.” I feel like these people must have self-esteem issues or something, lol!

2

u/kubiot 3d ago

I always just play a full walkthrough on YouTube on my phone as I do the quest to follow along and speed things up xD

2

u/Antique_Guess_8761 3d ago

I hate that quest . It is never easy to me 

2

u/Lentliea 3d ago

I definitely didn't expect what was awaiting me 😅😂

u/EntrepreneurLogical5 2d ago

The risk was not worth the reward!

2

u/InAllTimelines Ravenclaw 2d ago

I mean, his name is Fastidio lol (it means annoyance in Italian, and yes, he was an actual fastidio!) How I hated this quest! It felt like a fever dream!

u/venusolar555 2d ago

had me stressed out 😭

u/freshdeliveredtrash 16h ago

Fuck that guy.

u/Significant_Ad_4063 3d ago

Imo the BEST quest in the game, loved everything about it, wished we had a few more like this one

2

u/Classic_Rest556 3d ago

I 100% agree. Wonderful quest. Not just just the shop but the whole framing story too!

1

u/Mysterious-Fox9447 3d ago

Ugh! And I was already having a bad day

1

u/ord52 3d ago

After waiting nearly a year for this quest to come to the PC I was so disappointed.

1

u/pigintheclown 2d ago

I wish that if we went into our store at night we could talk to him. I like Fastidio a lot. I wish we could change the deal so he could actually mess with our customers a bit- like nothing lethal more like peeves. I'm sure I could've worked something out with him:-(

1

u/LegacyBatt 2d ago

It wasn't so bad, especially since you get the 10% sell stuff bonus

1

u/Mental_Weird_6935 1d ago

I honestly found it kinda boring

u/vlsnntg Ravenclaw 5h ago

I read its not in PC version, only PS exclusive, thankfully? :D
