Yeah, those are actually useful. In general I hoard consumables but in a late KCD run I went quaffing all the booze and potions. I kinda prefer when you get longer effects. I'm deeply spoilt by Morrowind.During this fall I got interested in chems and so I did research on them and got the ability to craft high-end chems, like for example the Black Hole Heart and the Giant Heart. But so far I have not used them because I have easily survived without them. Maybe if I were to play at hard or very hard difficulty, I would probably find them useful.
