Getting rid of Alcholest to brew your own potions - yay or nay?
I find it silly that, basically, I only need to gather the ingredients of a potion once, so I can create it. From then on, Alcohest (which is abundant in the game) will refill all my potions after meditation.
So I wanna sell all the Alcohest I loot so I would have to gather more ingredients to brew more of every potion, like in Witcher 1.
BUT, I'm worried ==> If CDPR designed the alchemy refills to rely solely on Alcohest, something tells me that the natural ingredients for the potions will be scarce in the world, because they're not necessary after the first time. Maybe some ingredients will even disappear from the game in later chapters!
What say you? Do you think the amounts of natural potion ingredients in the world throughout the game will be enough for me to keep gathering for potion refills, a la Witcher 1, or not?
--------EDIT---------
Nevermind, guys.... If you made a potion once, that's it, the game forbids you to brew it again even if it's depleted. "You already have this potion," it says.
CDPR did not include the option to keep manually brewing potions, they took it out. Meditation refills are the only way.
Wow.
Here's to meditating every five minutes and drinking twenty potions an hour.... *bitter defeat*
