...Why the hell didn't they just call the poultices, potions though? I mean...they *drank* them for crying out loud!

Besides, on the topic of poultices. I'd much prefer it if my character quickly drank the poultice and healed himself rather than have to wait for him to take off his gear and apply it a long with bandages during combat. Saves time in hurried situations, that way, doesn't it?

Because they rub it on their wounds from the inside of their bodies?

NO. They clearly drink them in game. They hold them up and drink. *rages*

I said my bit on the difference in realism between game mechanics and immersion in story here.

I reject the idea, however, that just because it's a fantasy setting that realism gets tossed out the window. In a story-based fantasy setting, you have to be able to relate to the characters, and the more farcical they look and act, the less you're able to do that. I personally wish DA had gone in more of a Song of Ice and Fire direction rather than heading towards comic/ arty/ anime/ over the top as they appear to be doing.

Heh. Following your logic, the bite of a High Dragon should kill you instantly.

You're right; it probably should and it does, sometimes. But game mechanics aren't the same thing as a game story. It's immersive qualities have to be on hold when it comes to battle, most of the time. Flemeth biting and shaking Alistair around like a ragdoll should kill him, but we couldn't play the game if we were expected to actually fight High Dragons in a realistic battle. I mean, using a bow against the Archdemon should do nothing. But the game would be frustrating to play.

They're held in different lights--and you will notice people do often comment when game mechanics go too far in the left field of realism. People complain about the leaping animations, the speed and size of the two-handed sword (in fact, it was slowed down).

Running around in high heels or having unrealistic body models when DAO did just fine without them aren't a part of the same category. Isabela's outfit is only going to bother me if she flashes me a lot--in that case, it directly impedes with the quality of immersion, when fanservice is shoved so blatantly in my face over and over.

NO. They clearly drink them in game. They hold them up and drink. *rages*

He's joking about them drinking poultices and the poultices doing their magic poultice work from the inside of their bodies.

Exactly, they drink it and the body is used to them drinking it so it sends it and rubs it on the wound automatically!

Poultices made me laugh so many times. I always pictured my Warden looking at it and saying "OH GOD HOW DOES THIS WORK I AM NOT GOOD WITH MEDICINE" and then just shoving it in her mouth.

I know.

It's just the whole drinking....gah. It makes me rage whenever I think about it. <_<

I wonder what genius came up with that.

They probably did it to break away from tradition. I personally like the poultices, as for drinking them...
