This game is a master on breaking the flow of combat
It really stands out when you are in a prolonged battle.
You constantly have to open your inventory to switch potions and bombs which really kills the emotion of combat.
I'll try to explain this but my english isn't good and I hope you guys will understand.
I was fight a wyvern, it had that huge silver bar at the top of the screen and I was underlevel (or undergear) for that. I normally carry thunderbolt, food, dragon's dream in my quick slots. And the thing is, if I get hit pretty hard I won't eat 10 foods, I will probably use a Swallow potion, so I have to open the inventory in the middle of a battle, switch the food for the Swallow. Things go bad and I need to play defensive, Axii, Aard, Quenn, so a Tawny Owl would be good, open the inventory switch thunderbolt for Tawny Owl. Switch also the bombs because I already use the only 2 dragons dream I have also the other 2 on the secondary slot. Once the fight got stable again I have to open the inventory and got a new quick slot set up. It's really annoying. I don't know if you could use potions from the inventory instead of dropping them on the quick slots but it still will break the heat of battle, your focus, to browse your inventory (which is a mess btw, Witcher always had terrible inventories).
I hope you guys could understand the situation.
Maybe if you could put more potions in the 'wheel' you bring up by pressing Tab, making this wheel larger so you would have 10 slots at the bottom instead of 5.
Increasing the number of bombs per type from 2 to 5.
I really don't know what could be done. I'm not a expert but really drives me crazy having to pause the battle and look for what I want in the inventory mess.
