It's normal that the first quests appear as completed even though some tasks are still unchecked. Also, I don't fully understand how to start the other classes, and my intelligence doesn't decrease from 4. Can someone tell me if this is normal or a bug?

Have to admit this game once you can dig through the UI and mechanics is ok and has some hope of turning into something decent. Really needs work on clarifying on what to do and when and highlighting when new actions are available.
That said I'm not really found of the automatic personality switching element. I can understand unlocking those for you the player to switch to via a spell for example but otherwise you can have your prim and proper Hermione until you ask her to strip and blow.

It will be interesting if this game ever comes within throwing distance of complete.

There is something very annoying or outright wrong with the Daily Intelligence Gain/Loss. I lowered the Intelligence to 3 like the Hairstyle class requires, and do that fine with dedicated SPEW grinding. But then I try to bring it back up and notice something odd. The Library class can only grant +1 Intelligence, per session, so that +4 a day if you do all timeslots. But then the next day rolls over, and I see a -3 Intelligence pop up every morning. I've had to do at least 7 days in a row of trying to get Hermione over the Int 4 level just so I can get the Tiara.

And I have no idea where the Intelligence drain is coming from. I thought it was from the Gag, but I've had it removed for a while, it shouldn't still be active. I tried to see if a book was doing something, and nothing stood out to me on their tool tips. (though, the bottom three don't have any tooltips for effects???).

Unless the design goal is to force players to do +4 steps forward, -3 back every day, for many days in a row, something isn't right here.

EDIT: Oh, and I just checked. Even with the Tiara, I'm losing 3 Intelligence per day.

EDIT: I was wondering why after Dark Arts 3, hermione wasn't unlocking my Imperio spell when I talked to her after DADA class. But then I wondered if it was because I'd equipped the belly button piercing I;d gotten from a class, before the quest finished, and now I can't take it out because Hermione thinks I'm trying to put it in.

You asked a good question. I tried to solve it three times. The first time, my intelligence dropped. I explained that I was using an old save game. Which I don't recommend. The second time, I tried restarting the game, even deleting previous saves. When assigning Hermione to a specific class each day, the fine print at the bottom states what decreases and what increases. When I rested for a whole day for Hermione, logically, her stats shouldn't decrease. Yet, as you described, her intelligence drops by -3 points each day. I used cheats, so it's possible that something in the game got messed up. The third time, I also started over with a new save game, but without any cheats. And her intelligence didn't drop. Until I reached the very end of the game. And then it started dropping again. I don't know, maybe it's a game mechanic?
As for the belly button ring, it removes for me, but I can't get rid of the cat's tail. Despite removing it, it reappears in the next scene. It's a bit irritating, because I don't know which quest activates it so it can't be removed. I also wonder if, besides the game saves themselves, there's any information about Hermione's appearance stored somewhere. Today I'll start it for the fourth time and be more attentive to see where the problem lies. An option in the menu to reset all settings and delete game saves would be useful.

This is odd, I can't think of the top of my head why would it happen.
Cheat doesn't affect Intelligence at all, neither do book (which is strange, now that I think about it), so it must be one of the Artefacts. Tiara increases Intelligence by 3 each day, Gag decreases it by 2.
Are you sure you are getting a real decrease in Intelligence and not just an error with the logging? Does the Intelligence bar visibly go down each day or is it just the message?

Have you tried the Antidote to remove the cat items? It's been a while since I've made the Cat Girl additions, but if I remember correctly, cat items become available once you drink the Polyjuice potion, which also comes with an Antidote, to remove the effects.

Indeed. You're right. I thought I knew the game well. But I don't. I didn't use the antidote. I have no idea how I could have overlooked that.
