*Potions could only be consumed during meditation *MediumВ potion/special effect/buff duration, normal duration was about 10-20 minutes Rubedo - Increases vitality regeneration. If you make a potion where each ingredient contains the same addition substances, you will get a buff:ДЄlbedo - Reduces toxicity from potions taken while this effect is active. *There are three additional substances: Albedo, Nigredo, Rubedo. The combination of these make different potions, and to make more potions you'll need more ingredients you can not make a potion one time and then refill it by having alcohol and meditating, unlike witcher 3 The 6 substances are: aether, hydragenum, quebrith, rebis, vermilion and vitrol. *The alchemy is based on different substances, not specific ingredients. *You can take potions and apply oils whenever you want, even during a fight, but it takes a few seconds during which you are exposed *Long potion/special effect/buff duration, often lasts more than an hour There are very noticable differences between the potion and alchemy in each game This, combined with the fact that you can only have two potions quickslotted, makes each fight feel very similar, because you will just put tawny owl and swallow in the quickslots and use those two potions during the fight.

One of the things that defined the witcher series for me was the preparation before each fight, and because of the short potion duration, the ability to take potions mid-fight without a penalty, and the ability to refill every potion when you mediate made the preparation feel much less important. I think the potion and alchemy in the witcher has gotten worse with each game, but it was, for me, by far the worst in the wither 3. The thing I liked the least about the witcher 3 was the potion and alchemy system, and how dumbed down it felt.
