But those potions might come in handy later!!!

This is about the newbs and the pros. Basically, the ones who have enough leisure time and lack of responsibility to sit around and bitch about the game.

The Gen Xers are just gamers. We know that arguing over the game mechanics isn't going to sway the devs.

Play the game, collect your phat loots, don't rush to the level cap, and take some time once in a while to appreciate the open world game design.

Of course the game is unbalanced. But nevermind the campers, griefers and OP players who exploited the glitches, find the side missions you enjoy and equip a sunscreen potion...you'll be glad later that you did.

I hear there is a Mammoth tusk potion to help with that

When I was yea high 'til I was three
I suffered from petit mal epilepsy
Any excitement gave me a fit
But there were drugs to cure me of it

Weird diseases
I get weird diseases
Whenever Krishna sneezes
I get weird diseases

So at the least sign of emotion
I got a tranquilizing potion
Thus from the time I was a young boy
I could feel neither anger nor joy

Weird diseases
Random weird diseases
Once from eating recalled cheeses
I got weird diseases

Nearly fatal renal cysts
Maybe Asperger's if that exists
Pityriasis rosea
Two separate times giardia

Weird diseases
I get weird diseases
Wafting on the toxic breezes
I get weird diseases

Debilitating spider bites
Hiccups for three days and nights
A thousand earaches, one deformed eardrum
Hyperacusis, what's that from?

It's from weird diseases
I get weird diseases
Whenever baby Jesus pleases
He gives me weird diseases

Chronic fatigue
COPD
Petit mal epilepsy
Two big holes inside my brain
Migraine aura sans migraine

Weird diseases
I get weird diseases
Weird diseases
I get weird diseases

You pretty much described an episode of Rick and Morty, only it was a love potion and a strain of influenza.

No matter....once I drink the potion in the purple jade badger, my kung fu will be far superior!

Start at 1:24:04....it's Kung Fu Hulk!

Summary-https://ninjasallthewaydown.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/jade-dagger-ninja-1982/

Favorite memory?

When you see your Sorcerer running away from an ungodly blob of monsters, screaming "I'm out of potions!" -- and to have him return from the surface with an inventory full of mana potions, only to burn through them in like 30 seconds flat by spamming (chain) lightning at anything that moves.

Good times.

The only time I craved salmon roe was when I discovered what the potions you can make in Skyrim with it are worth.

And in today's news, the sports world is shocked with the admission by Sarah the Cheetah that she used the illegal drug FKP (Fast Kitteh Potion) during her record-breaking run.

You've got it all wrong, that's really a potion.

I'm super late to the party, but I totally agree about all the useless potions and ridiculous economy. Other than health potions and the occasional stamina, they're completely pointless. Who wants to fuck around with their inventory to use one of the other 1,324 potions to offer a slight amount of niche resistance or some shit?

I have tons of crap and money, but vendors don't have enough money to buy all the crap I want to sell, and don't have anything that I'm the least bit interested in buying (save for the aforementioned health potions). They all have inferior weapons and armor, and why the hell would I be interested in that??

Other than those nitpicks... and that I never bother/think to use my shouts... and that I can generally crush anything except for the occasional very-hard circumstance... it's a very good game, and I'm having a blast. I figure I've sunk 50+ hours into it and I'm sure I'm not half-way through the main story.

This game currently owns all my free time. My jaw drops at some of the situations I get into, we're talking some seriously thought out quests. Polished is the norm and the bugs I've found are not even close to game breakers. (pc) The only issue I have is, (same as Yahtzee's) the fact that healing/stamina potions and a good weap are all you really need. At level 25 now and can clear mostly any dungeon I find with too much ease. Gonna go full cater next and see how that plays though.

God created the big bang. I'll prove it at the end of this universe before the next one occurs. Take my immortality potion and join me in hale-bopp. I win!

YES.
mana shield, teleport, chain lightning... so much fun.

We clocked endless hours on Diablo via DCC. Nothing was as hilarious as a chain-lightning-frenzy down in hell. Blowing through an entire inventory of full mana potions in a minute -- awesome.



Good times. I wonder if D3 will be fun too. I question myself if I will have time to play it.

YES.

mana shield, teleport, chain lightning... so much fun.
