recipes are hard to find, almost like they don't exist.
I agree with some of your criticisms, not with others, but this one is particularly retarded.

You literally don't need any recipes, they're just a QOL thing that tells you how to make something. You can just look at the ingredients and read them and put them together at a station and hit craft. Even if you didn't want to read,

Well, yeah. I don't want to go over every fucking reagent to see what it used for. That's pure autism and busy work considering how many of them in the game. Either way i doubt i will replay the game because replay value is non existent, so i don't care.

you could brute force it, or if you know anything about cooking just slap in what you'd use irl to make something and it will probably work.
I don't know how to cook alchemical potions in real life.

Just add water and healing potion is ready you say? ... ok got it.

Most recipes are available from the cleric at the refugee camp, a merchant in the thieves den, and the witch in the woods. Its worth buying the lesser health and attunement recipes simply because you'll encounter so many of their ingredients that it's worth it just to use them up. They're a nice QoL improvement that can improve the endurance of your party. That said, I had probably a hundred of each by the end of the game.

Most people who don't make retarded criticisms understand the difference between cooking and alchemy, especially when there are alchemical tables and cooking stations (ovens, pots, etc.) and they cannot be used interchangeably. And separate groups of ingredients that even appear in separate types of inventory. I just rack this up to more evidence of your abysmal IQ.

You make the potion or meal once and it appears in your list after that. Almost everything uses groups of three (a few things are two or four). It's not exactly rocket science. For a reasonably intelligent, literate person, I mean. I'm sure it was an unassailable obstacle for you.

Fargus Did you manage to decipher the recipe for bacon and eggs? Or did you never cook it because you couldn't find it on a piece of paper?

I found it on a piece of paper. But never cooked it :)
That's funny, I didn't actually see that recipe. Figured it was so obvious that he didn't bother.

I cooked a bunch of dishes from recipes i found early on and it was enough for the rest of the game i don't think i even used stove after i left the first island.

That's totally fair. You get a ton of stuff. Like I say, I didn't disagree with all your criticisms, I just found that particular one to be stupid as opposed to just disagreeing.
