I watched NPC throw healing potions at enemies. Especially that battle at the gate.
And yes I agree, this is the gimmick to fix the limits of a four party group. You no longer need a cleric with yeeting potions and mages learning healing spells. Yet they practically beg you to take Shadowheart lol. Not dissing on Shadowheart, she has grown on me with her attitude updates, but I plan on multi classing her as a rogue. IF they keep these healing gimmicks in game. Clerics are not needed meta game wise.
