named potions near Isbeil's laboratory

[Eliof Astora]

I tried consuming them then it gave me source points. They have unique names to it... Is this tied to a quest or something? 1 of them had a name - Eliya Cristanal...

i'm pretty sure those are kickstarter backer items

[Morgian]

Those are the names of the dead sourcerers in the glass vats. As kronos said, they are probably taken from Kickstarter Backers. They have no quest tied to them as far as I could find.

Cut content.

Was supposed to be like Braccus Rex's soul jars but you know, now "MODERN" and upgraded and HORROR.

IT'S SOLYENT BLUE PEOPLE: THE SOURCE IS LITERALLY DEAD PRISONERS.

But they hit a dead-line, none of that story got in, yadda yadda, drink them for soul points (like the random treasure Source reward that has a bizarre square icon as opposed to the round source orbs - I mean, WTF IS THAT ALL ABOUT? OBVIOUS CUT CONTENT.

But basically: there was an attempt made to show how the ancient soul jars were being remade / turned into a commercial commodity where people > vats > soul potions that the rich and magically perverse (HELLO DOCTOR) got in...


But hey, budget is budget, none of that is actually ingame.

p.s.

You can actually verify this ingame:

Talk to the Warden in the Prison in Arx.
You'll get a quest.
You'll get an XP bump once you move into the room just past these potions

The Warden NPC can be told, you get a single line of dialogue, but that's it: content over.

I kept trying to bring the source potions back to the ghosts in the prison. Ah, so sad that all you can do Is drink their souls. You can’t give the source potion back or even cure their terrified ghosts.
