Can You Be a Good Slytherin in Hogwarts Legacy? Answered

In Hogwarts Legacy, players can choose which House they belong in via the Sorting Hat, although these have no real differences across the Houses in regard to how the game is played. A House Quest will appear for players to complete, being the only exclusive House Questline within Hogwarts Legacy. The core differences are based on the design of the Common Room and cosmetics such as your character’s appearance. You must gain knowledge on the Merlin Trials before gaining access to these Quests. But if you choose Slytherin, can you be good within this House? Or is the only option to be evil? We have the answers below.

Can you Choose Houses?
