LE More then 3 Ingredients per Potion (Alchemy)

[Tealas]

I would like to be able to create potions with more then 3 ingredients in it. So instead of the normal "Ingredient, Ingredient, Optional" I would like it to have 2 or 3 optionals.

This would allow for better and less tedious Healing (1 potion with all 3 healing effects) of more potent poisons (Weakness to multiple effects, or drain Health, Stamina and Magicka and the like).

 

Is this even possible, or has is already been done? If so, please tell me, I can't seem to find it anywhere and I can't imagine no-one ever requested it before.

 

With regards,

I looked around and it doesn't seem to have been done. I can figure that making this mod would also imply having to make new potions for all the new combinations you'd make with one more ingredient added to the mix - otherwise it would just be a waste of an ingredient, and that does seem indeed like a lot of work, I'm afraid.

So this would mean that each potion that is different from the originals, by at least 1 effect, would need to have a skin assigned to it?

Yes, the only way to do this currently would be to make specific versions of every possible potion that could be created, in addition to implementing a whole new crafting system seperate from the hard-coded vanilla alchemy system. It could be done, but it would be a huge project.

 

Probably an easier solution if you just want to be able to create potions with all the different healing effects, etcetera, would be to simply add a few new ingredients that align with one another and make such combinations possible using the existing system. It would also be easy enough to develop some kind of system to mix/combine potions you've made to increase their strength (something I'm thinking about for a possible alchemy overhaul... but that's a bit down the road if it materializes)

Ok, that is a bit of a downer, but explains why it doesn't exist already.

Thank you for the info.
