Typical, Elliot - welcome back <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
Awww, thanks Kiya <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Glad to BE back <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Well, I like the perm potion thingy as it had been in the first stages of game release => unlimited, but only +1 stats and +60 mana/HP, +25 stamina. You needed a book for this (very very late in the game) and an unique quest reward.
Those stat boosts sound perfect to me. Wonder why they changed them?
As I didn't visit the BF, I faithfully collected all plants. Right now (am in the last act) I only have 10 blue plants - so I will choose carefully. At that time, the BF didn't respawn their stuff or taught all these skills you can view now. And they did not teach alchemy for the appropriate skill lvl to create perm potions. This has changed in 1.4 and then the large perm boost came.
Heh. I feel like a vegan lugging all the foliage around <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Can't go wrong with 'Extract' IMO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I do like having the skill, just not the utterly horrendous stat boosts. I always avoided Scorpion Traps and Frost Swords in DD because they made the game so easy, as I think you know, and this is part of the same thing. At one point gained per potion, the player has to really think about which stats need boosting and how best to use up all those precious plants...
So, I hope, the Larians make it the way it was. And if not? Then I'll threaten to pout. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

Darn! That should work! Who can resist the old Kiya pout? You'll shame 'em for sure! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
