Is there a way to use potions in combat? A work-around?

[Justin_760]

I get that bandaging in combat wouldnt be realistic, but not being able to down a small vial? Dont get that. Is there a way around this?

Does anyone know of a mod, or a possible edit to .ini files that could change this? Any help would be appreciated.

Healing potions are just about useless the way it is, since you can only use outside of combat. What the hell use is that when you might as well just eat food or rest for free and not waste pricy potions since your out of combat.

How exactly do you suppose a potion would mend broken bones, or cut muscles and sinews?

Even sleeping them off is too generous, greater injuries could take months to heal, and some would leave you crippled permanently.

This is unrealistic to unrealistic video games. All unrealistic video games allow you to heal in combat! 0/10 Totally unrealistic.

yes but that would also be literally no fun waiting for a broken bone to heal... to only die of infection after waiting 5 real life hours.


at some point you gotta stop with realism... unless your making Simulation... then you try to go full bore.


this game has "realistic features and some realism" i would classify this game as "Low Fantasy based in our Timeline"

There is a workaround:
Don't get hit so much.

So, coming from playing Monster Hunter World.. if I can find time to drink a potion (and I mean literally wait for my character to pull it off her belt, and then chug it for like 5 seconds while practically immobile) WHILE a giant rock T-rex tries to do a jig on my face.. I think I can probably find time to drink something in a swordfight.

Not that I'm saying we should be able to drink in combat.. just saying, it was a bit silly thinking that I could in that game, but can't here.
