Played in any order, they will "impact how you interact with them in the main storyline"

Wizarding RPG Hogwarts Legacy will let you shape your destiny with over 100 side quests – and you can play them in any order.

As one of the most hotly-anticipated new games 2023, we already know that the twists and turns of this open-word adventure will feature expansive maps and character creation. According to narrative director and advanced game writer Moira Squier, it seems the plot itself will be similarly staggering.

"The main storyline is complicated and engaging and involves a variety of different characters and viewpoints," Squier told GamesRadar+ in an interview as part of our Hogwarts Legacy preview. "But by giving the player choice moments throughout the game, we allow them to tell their own version of that epic story."

As well as playing through the storyline itself, your character's decisions in what they choose to do outside classes could "manipulate the main campaign by virtue of the experiences they've had," says Squier. "Interacting with someone in a side quest will impact how you interact with them in the main storyline - and vice versa."

There doesn't seem to be any linearity in how these missions should be played. "The order in which the player chooses to complete these quests will impact their story and game. Everything is interconnected," confirmed Squier. "So, while it was challenging, it was a lot of fun to do, and it's rewarding to see how well it turned out."

So yes, it's a bummer that we won't be able to play Quidditch in Hogwarts Legacy, but with branching side quests to influence how our characters react to the world around them, it seems we will have plenty to keep us busy in the magical realm anyway.

If they effect the main story it should be more. Probably finding new characters or things that effect the main missions.
Unless its just all talk

Super hyped for Hogwarts Legacy despite the fact that I don't know shit about Harry Potter. Hehe. Less than two weeks to go.
