I just picked this game up in the sales Not finished it yet but I haven't been rushing the main story I get really immersed in this game, sometimes forget I'm even looking at a screen
Great review. Regarding alchemy it was quite held belief at the time since modern pharmaceutics is far off. Herbal medicines derived from plants were quite commonly used at that time, think opium poppy or other hallucinogens or Ephedra that has derived many modern medicines too. Stimulants are often used in war time like amphetamines in both world wars for alertness that could indicate some gameplay mechanics. I think it also diverse the gameplay, because if something is really hard you can try sneaking and poisoning their food or using potions to gain an edge in combat if you struggle too much. The benefits from stimulants or medicines numbers wise is just the end point of numbering progress. Real life doesn't have clear levels. Of course belief and placebo could have an effect too.
Couldn’t agree more! Bring on a Henry v2!
