I agree with some of your criticisms, not with others, but this one is particularly retarded.recipes are hard to find, almost like they don't exist.
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.
I don't know how to cook alchemical potions in real life.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.
Just add water and healing potion is ready you say? ... ok got it.
