Alchemy is horrible!

[Mr. Alucard]

I love everything about the game, but alchemy is the worst mechanic ever. It would be cool to do it once when you get a new recipe and then if you succeed once, you should be able to just auto brew that potion. I for myself gave alchemy up and will just buy and steal the damn potions.

Just buy potions then

i kinda love it , already at bozhenas hut i can brew 5 potions with 1 process , a bit later 6 . Easy money and bucket load of free buffs . Though it can get really tedius if you brew lots of pots in a row .

Where is the immersion than ?? Honestly you people want everything given on a platter wtf

I love the alchemy and i love all the mini games and i wish there were alot more in the game Yakuza style, but i understand with the modern mentality of wanting to just get through the game or just want to get into combat. Its builds, dont like it? dont do it go steal all the stuff.

Alchemy is great. Easy money, not that long, and you can produce really powerfull potions. Like hilariously powerful. There are 3 issues though - 1) hitbar for phials is too small, distill(whixh almost never used) takes too much of a screen 2) scrolling down for a recipe you need is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long procedure 3) some animation could be way shorter/faster - like pouring the prepared potion into phial, or dropping grinded herb into pot.

And leave the ingredients on the shelf after brewing. It is annoying to need to go back to the book every single time to set everything up again.

I agree with this, you should be able to put all the herbs you have of a recipe on the shelve.

Just pick ingredients directly from your inventory. It is faster.

thx, if I didn't already say I would do that, your comment would be at least just a bit usefull

In the first game, you got perks that could greatly speed up the potion brewing process. I haven't done much brewing yet in KCD2, but I'd be surprised if it's very much different.

Lots of complaints from players who appear to want to be max-skilled right from the start. Lockpicking, pickpocketing, potion brewing, etc these all get easier as your character practices the skill and levels up.

Alchemy is probably the best feature in the game. Go play COD.

so, you gonna tell me you don't use your map or fast travel? and when it is hot and sunny in the game you open your window and get nacked in rl because you want immersion???

Honestly, while nearly everyone else has constructive comments and ideas, your generation apparently can't even converse. People can't even dislike one small thing nowdays and converse about it whithout some funboy getting trigered

whaaaa you can make more than 1 potion at a time????? ye gods

[ZX Horace]

I hated it in the first game but they've made it easier this time around ... Although I wish they put the book closer so I could see the instructions easier when I'm brewing the potions. It's an easy one to level up and make money with. Yes it takes time but the potions you brew should be strong ones so you're getting the best potions for next to nothing.

You don't need to use the bellows to boil. Once you know that it becomes easier.

well i think the opposite, this is just AMAZING this way !
