Re-drink same potions - glitch?

Post by Jaesha »

During my stay in Brynnlaw i discovered an effective, yet cheesy, way to get all characters healed/resistant/skill-boosted, whatever effect the potion might have. In your inventory, right-click on a potion and click "drink potion". Don´t resume the game, but instead drop the potion on the ground.
When you resume, your PC/NPC will drink the potion, but it will be lying on the ground for you to pick up and re-drink as many times as you like.
Anybody else tried this. Glitch?

If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.

Excellent idea.

Well, it didn't work for me, they just dropped them on the ground, it would have been really useful since now i'm in the drow city and Sola is sending me on quests and not giving me much time to heal.

Don't get too carried away...pickpocketing skills warp back to zero at 250 even though the score on the character sheet says otherwise.

Mind you if you drank enough of them it might end up back at 250 again. You'd be up all night though. :) :D
