Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy is infamous for being perhaps one of the most controversial games of all time, with even professional game review sites being torn on both its premise, and the creator standing behind the franchise.

To do: More unused content (if there is any), and a Prerelease page with stuff to cover and document.

Unused Text and Features (wanted level and morality system)#

There's an incredibly large amount of content for crime, wanted level, and morality that were all removed before the final release.

Hidden in the game's unused code are references to a wanted level, including strings for wanted levels themselves, criminal acts, and violence. It's possible that the game could have featured them in the final version, but that the feature was removed due to time constraints. The wanted system, and to a lesser extent, the crime, can be restored with certain mods.

SOCIAL_ACTION_CRIMERESPONSEAPPROVE = 33,

Apparently, it seemed that casting the Killing Curse (or another spell of equal magnitude) would either instantly end the game or be counted as "high".

There is a single leftover string to suggest that losing your wanted level would get you sent to Azkaban:

GameOver_Azkaban = 1

As well as an extensive list of strings relating to crime (although in the real game, it has no effect):

CrimeScenePerceptionTest;
FastTravelViaCrimeSceneFinished(const class UObject* Caller);
FNPC_CrimeSceneSense
FNPC_CrimeSceneSense_LOS LOS;

EFT_FromType_CrimeScene = 5,
INVENTORY_CHANGE_REASON_CRIME = 15,
CrimeScene_DEPRECATED = 2,
CrimeScene = 2,
CrimeSystemPriority = 5,

The SQL database which the game stores data reveals that the crime system itself is subdivided into six different types: extortion, intrusion, pickpocketing, taboos, theft and violence. Depending on how serious the crime was, investigators would begin searching in increasingly larger radii.
