Hi I am thinking of buying Hogwarts as a treat for me for Christmas.
I am hoping that someone will tell me what the controls are Will I have to be real agile with the keys, I guess it wont be point and click.

Since this is an RPG/Dark Side Game, Marian will move it over to the Dark Side Games foum.

I did a search for "hogwarts legacy PC controls" and found this page. You will need to scroll down to find the PC controls. It appears to be the usual of mouse to control camera angle and the WASD keys for movement plus a few other number keys for other actions.

Thanks, Marian!

Moved to the Darkside forum.

My son loved this game, but he was using a controller.

I have a nice controller and just need to make myself learn how to use it!

Thank you both. I will check out that link you sent.
I have thought of a controller.
I guess I will have to go into the game shop and the guy will show me how to work it.
It will be like when you get a new cell phone its all different LOL
Have a very merry Christmas and all good wishes for 2024
Kind regards
Maggsie

Maggsie, knowing how to work it and being proficient at it are two different things! LOL! I definitely haven't mastered it yet.

My son said the game could be playable without a controller, but it also depends on how adept a player is with the keyboard. He said this game might be a little more forgiving. A controller would probably be best, though.

Thanks again both of you. I think I will buy it and find out .Its now half price so I can g wrong LOL

I agree, maggsie! You might find that you love an RPG!

I agree Marian. A controller looks like the way to go. Checking out the controller executables vs keyboards using Drac's link you either need a photographic memory or a printer no matter which one you choose to go with

I have the discontinued Steam Controller and have used it a few times. I found it easier to use depending on the game. Controls are at your fingertips. It is just a matter of getting to know it, giving it a chance. Hogwarts, although it being a tough teacher, would be a very good game to learn the controller front to back

At half price it's a good deal maggsie. Get your Christmas present

Hogwarts Legacy - Check out "Media". HL looks very good

Hi I am really have a bit of trouble Started the game ,it took ages to finally start. Got quite away and had to learn a spell, a bit tricky !!!
I cant find how to get to the main menu to save or quit. I had to to esc ,control and windows to get my bottom tool bar and then close window.
I have been on the PC controls via the link you gave me and I just cant find which key to press to get out of the game.
I was in the middle of learning a spell so I purpose I would have to learn it to get back to aviator. The game is good so far I guess I am going to have trouble learning spells .
Hope you ac give me some advice

SInce I don't have the game, I will see what I can look up for you, maggsie. I did find that F10 will take you to Settings where you can remap key bindings.

In the meantime, you should have a menu option which lists what all the different buttons do. Is there something called Options in the main menu? Are you using PC or a Controller?

EDIT: It appears that Esc takes you to your Field Guide from where you can access things like Save, Exit, etc.

See if this Youtube video helps...

How to Save in Hogwarts Legacy

I am on my laptop , No menu for options. Cant even find the main menu. I guess this is going to be too much for me
I was on ages just trying to learn the first spell Revealo
I am turning off, been on for about two hours Phew !!!
Maggsie

Maggsie, I just edited my post. See if what I added helps. You can access everything from the Field Guide which is the Esc key.

I will try again this afternoon. I dont think you can access esc while your in learning a spell mode. I just hope I can get through learning the spells
Thanks you are a great help
Maggsie

Hi just giving you an update .
It is quite a lot to learn .but I managed to learn two spells, chuffed to bits. When I went back into the game it was on an auto save .
Now I have to find out how to continue with this game. I hope I can do this as it looks real good.
A lot to learn Phew!!!
A lot different from collecting beans LOL
Thanks you have been so helpful.
Regards
Maggsie

I think it's great you are giving it a try, maggsie!

I'm so glad you are sticking with it, maggsie! And yes, it is a huge game with a learning curve which will take perseverance to figure out! Good for you!

All with your help and guidance.
All the best for 2024
Maggsie

Hi just another update ,Sadly I have requested a refund as I cant get through the fight scenes. Refund is pending. So sad
Maggsie

I was worried about the fight scenes when you got to them. Oh, well, you tried!!

Thank you, I got through one fight scene but the second one they were just coming at me and I think being on a laptop didn't help
Thanks again
Maggsie
