Ah, perhaps we just have different preferences when it comes to this, which is fine. Or would be if you didn’t find looting in the game frustrating, which isn’t ideal!

I’m actually kind of reassured to hear that it’s not so uncommon to run out of healing potions. I’ve generally had plenty, but did often skate quite close to the line with my moon druid playthrough without Shadowheart, and can see that if she’d not been able to heal herself in animal form with magic it would have tipped the scales. I’m sure on reflection there are plenty of party configurations that would in fact run out of potions if they didn’t buy them or loot reasonably thoroughly. Good smile.

Regarding invisibility potions and magic weapons, yes these get much harder to obtain and I often can’t afford them so need to save up and ration both what I buy and what I use. For me, this feels right and proper, and adds to my enjoyment and immersion, but I completely understand that other players’ mileage will vary.

Anyway, apologies for drifting somewhat off topic. I think I’ve got a bit of the passion of a convert when it comes to light-touch looting, but will now zip it with my evangelism.
