It would make the game feel so much better, to me at least.

naah not that necessary imo.. maybe some stats boosting potions might have it, but not the restore health/stamina/magicka potions.. theyre meant for *cough* stressful situations as they are... otherwise they could as well remove these potions alltogether...which would really stink

Meh, i rather have them effect over time instead of instantly. H/M/S potions, i mean.

Those can keep their animation off.

potions, food, drinking mead... they should all have animations.

That would be awesome. Hard to roleplay when you just drink ale or eat right away.

+1 all of them except for the Restore H/M/S potions

This
Restoration magic has an animation but potions are heath a bit low ? no problem pause and heath instantly back to 100 %. For this reason I don't use them but would if they had a real time animation.

Never seen them in RPG history. Don't think it's necessary.

Eating, however, and drinking brewskis should have animations.

Yes. I guess we could skip out on potion animations since they can be used when you're almost dead, but why food and ale?

Before the internal combustion engine and cars no one had ever seen one. Do you not think it would add a little something to the game to need to get some distance between you and a deathlord to neck a potion.
