it felt like to me that there were less ingredients to use in oblivion vs morrowind. also i didn't like how you could mix more than 2 things and you didn't really get any extra benefit to your potion over mixing just 2.

I hope there is at least one fishy stick hidden somewhere in the realm for me to make my super potion from.

You don't count multiple effects as 'extra benefit'?

I was trying to say 3 or 4 healing ingredients is the same as 2 or 1
