Unforgivable curses in Hogwarts Legacy?
Posted On: April 4, 2023

Does anybody find it a bit odd that the unforgivable curses are seen as mega bad, yet diffindo where you are literally slicing someone or turning someone into a chicken is fine?


Question from user Churchkitty at HogwartsLegacyGaming at reddit.com.


Answer:

I suspect its difficult to logically argue that any spell is ethically worse than another in a game where roughly 80% of spell casting is explicitly to kill other beings (most of them sentient thinking beings, at that). But yeah, turning someone into an explosive barrel and yeeting it into a group of their friends to murder the lot of them really doesnt feel any better morally than avada-ing them.
