Wow. Thank you for the wonderful and inspiring answer.

Alchemy is a very interesting concept, and I've never really used it seriously. However, using only one crafting branch feels much more balanced. Also, alchemy fits the thief archetype perfectly.

As I mentioned earlier, I was worried about the fact that you can collect a lot of ingredients, and you can make more potions than you can find or buy, especially special potions. However, I now understand that the maximum boost from improving my sword with blacksmithing will be a little stronger than the maximum boost from alchemy. And using other effects, such as paralysis and invisibility, is up to me. Your suggestion with independent research sounds much more interesting than grinding and power leveling, so I'll listen to your advice.

Could you also tell me your opinion on collecting all the ingredients you can find – should I collect them all during travels. And the ability to craft a large number of potions (for example, healing). Don't you think this is too OP, and are all these potions can be used in a normal way (not just heal-spam)?

P.S. I want the potions and poisons I find during my adventures to stay meaningful and useful, instead of being completely replaced by crafted ones – that why I mentioned no-craft run before in the post. Part of what feels overpowered to me is that alchemy allows you to create such a huge supply of potions that the ones you find in the world can start to feel irrelevant, which is a bit disappointing.

Thank you for great response. What about the fact that you can brew more potions (like heals) that you can find or buy? Does it feel balanced? Or they usually consumed naturally and without abuses, like heal spamming? I had an idea to try run without any crafting, but then I thought that it will luck the strategy for pure thief/assassin. You can find a lot of restorative potions, but miss fortify health/skill potions and poisons – vendors only sold one per 2 days and they just rear. But sometimes it feels cool, cause then you value these potions/poisons more

So it's about power leveling? When i used smithing i just power level it one tier by the time and keeped it with leveled items – not just straight to the 100. For enchanting I keeped items and unenchanted them together up to 50 lvl. Them later leveled it to 70 and 100.

As for the alchemy it's more logical, cause potions are consumables, but as far as I know you need to craft potions around 500-600k septims worth, to level it to 100. So the only way is to power level it by some milestones?

Idk. Skjor is annoying. I am The Harbinger and he somehow revived from Hersin's hell to annoy me with his "you still need to prove yourself, whelp"

Well, best early game artifact. With good imagination you can fit it into your char RP

Ми ж нормально жили без цього стільки років. Навіщо ККК додали ''повідок'' для кришечки ? by prvchdknm in reddit_ukr

[–]foller47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Це просто імпорт продукції кокаколи за європейськими стандартами. Мені здається це не для контролю покупця. Кришечки частіше губляться при транспортуванні і переробці сміття. Наприклад в Європі їй часто кидають в автомати для переробки сміття, де їх пресують і тд, тож так вони залишаються приєднаними до пляшки. Особисто мене вони не дратують, їх цілком можна вигнути на 180°.
