LE Empty bottles for Alchemy

[zumma]

I don't know if something like this exists ... but i think it will greatly add to the immersion and realism of the game, as well as preventing the player to use his Alchemy skill in order to exploit the economic system of Skyrim, IF for every potion you craft it will be required to have an empty bottle in your inventory to be used in the process, as well as adding an empty bottle in your inventory after you drink a potion. That will make sense ... otherwise i have no idea where those potion bottles are coming from and where do they go !? The empty bottles could be also added in the leveled lists, to general stores, in limited amounts. I think this will require some papyrus scripting, but nothing too fancy. What do you think?

maybe even crafted with hearthfire glass and something more to limit it.

there are already mods that let's you use empty bottles for alchemy..... and one that even knows the difference between not using Ale/wine bottles for alchemy

Would be fun and used potions should leave an empty bottle behind. The same should go for wine bottles. This could also open up quests from alchemists running low on bottles and sometimes offer to pay something extra for them. Further some volatile concoctions may react with a cheap bottle giving an incentive to have bottles of various qualities.

There could be a certain risk of failure brewing potions in a simple bottle and the more advanced potions could face an higher risk.

 

Maybe open up a new field of crafting for glass items. Not only potion and wine bottles but also sheet glass for construction and tableware and so on.
