@LovecraftEnthusiast Is Hogwarts the only magical school in the Harry Potter universe?
Because if not, then it’s simply supposed to be a European school for magic. Which would imply that there are other schools of magic elsewhere in the world…
Which could open the door to further collaboration with Rowling and perhaps other historical and anthropological experts to help create other branches of Witchcraft/Wizardry across the world, each with their own unique style, demographics, and range of magical creatures..
But.. That would require effort and work, which… Nah, I guess?
Which is a shame, because I could see some seriously cool potential for it based purely on the architecture of Korea, India, and the Middle East, alone. Combining Rowling’s magical concepts with that extravagant architecture and the surrounding environments would have made for an incredibly interesting game, visually, while keeping an accurate range of “diversity” in the process.
Shit, they could even take the cultural quirks of some of these cultures to insert the whole “trans” thing, if they wanted (I think it was India that had that 3rd gender recognized by certain regions?).
But instead, they decided to get lazy and Burger King Kids Klub that shit. Which really can take you out of the game, if you’re at all savvy on historical [NAME A THING].
