Do you gamers agree that health poultices & lyrium potions, etc.  are hard to find?
How to survive in battles when there are so many enemies to kill with so few health poultices to consume?

Use crowd control and healing magic? Health poultices was abundant on my playthrough, though lyrium potions were about right. I had to actually craft ~20 or so. I say less health poultices so I don't get as dissappointed every time I loot something and it's barely worth selling!

you are joking right? im playing on normal and it pissed me off to no end once i found out that once you perform a certain action to a certain group a certain ingrediant cannot be purchased which is a necessity to survive the game as there just arnt enough health pultices. maybe if you carefully craft your party but im not into being an elitist i just want to carve my own way through the game, and it is clear the game was built around your ability to craft a certain item, but once that ingredient is gone you just cant get it in the high quantity it is needed.



SO, im a little pissed off at the game right now as im essentially screwed.

It's still a fair point to make.

i am playing on ps3 actually, dont think we can download mods. even on casual though im noticing that some healing potions are needed, more then they give for certain. eventually i run out, then, im generally screwed. i cant make more due to lack of a certain plant. and i also cant get any further unless i get my stock back.

I'm actually on the opposite front: make potions more rare!



If it wasn't for the possibility of having infinite lyrium potions, mages might not be so OP, and shapeshifting could even see some use!



Spamming health poultices also seems like a lame way to survive fights. Maybe make potion/ingredients drop rate dependant on difficulty level?

My opinion: Either increase the amount of ingredients in locked chests, or replace them with something else. I'm fed up of getting to the bottom of a dungeon, unlocking a near-impossible to open chest and gaining the spoils of... ONE elfroot.

I bought 400 of said item in preparation for the inevitable. It's dirt cheap.

OP -should learn to look at what the various vendors sell. You might be surprised at how cheaply a stack of 99 elfroot goes for, or 99 lyrium dust. Basic 1st level herbalism skill then gives you an endless supply of potions for a very low cost.
Edit: for reading comprehension fail. 
In which case can I just say: Then OP is failing to understand the ramifications of *his* decisions.

I typically don't buy them. I make some every now and then and get them from drops, of course. I find that I usually have "just enough" to survive difficult encounters. I'm playing on Hard, BTW.

Yes, the infinite ingredients for potions for less than 3 silver each (depending on the ingredient) is not enough!



Advice: Get better before posting gameplay suggestions.

well that is true it was my decision to do what i did. however, the game should not be broken for me. party members leaving and what not i can understand, you can get through all the boss fights without them and stuff. but you cannot make it through the game without potions.



i would buy them..if there were any left lol. as it stands noone has them in stock.

which a game like this you should need potions to survive BUT, there should be a way higher number in stock. or if your going to make an option to..do what i did, then it should not be such a dire consequence as to take away the main source of survival.



it is a game after all, some consequence yes, but that almost makes me want to start over and NEVER choose that option again. surviving on normal difficulty requires either potions or a certain healing character (or the specialization). and without potions i am now forced to either lower the difficulty or get said character.



but see, i dont actually want a healer, the classes are mage, rogue and warrior, i should be able to survive with one of each class and a fourth member of my choosing. I dont want to be forced into having the same classes each play through in my party just for the sake of survival. especially since healer is actually a specialization so not only would i be forced to choose a basic class but a specialization as well.



without potions and no healing class, with no method to recover lost health in battle. you are screwed. the one healing spell that all mages have access to does help but again i dont like being forced to get a skill just to survive and that one skill does not keep the whole party alive.



it is possible on casual to get through the game barely touching potions.



but i would be dissapointed to go that rout as i wanted to experience the game in its fullness, all of the challenge with it. i probly sound like a hypocryt now lol.



potions were a great alternative to keeping my party alive and still upgrading and playing however i want, now there is only one specific rout i MUST take in order to finish this game, and that is uncluding a character into my party that i really didnt want.

Dude. Listen to us.

You can buy UNLIMITED POTIONS for <4 silver a piece if you buy the ingredients.

Also I made it through on hard and only used about 50 potions the whole game without a healer (mostly chugged em during dragon battles). Stop complaining and get better.

Also, if you don't want to put it down to casual, yet you want to keep sucking, you're being a hippocrit.

When that happens, I just figure they've been guarding it and now that they're dead, I can get to it. **shrugs**
