So I recently made a Sword and "Bored" build lol. Needless to say it wasn't that fun because I started to use vegetable soup. If you don't know what veggie soup does it restores 1 point of health and stamina for 720 seconds. This gives you unlimited power attacks and bashes because all they need is 1 point of stamina.

So I just want to know if anyone else had a build ruined by this? I was having a lot of fun in the beginning playing strategically; knowing when I should block, bash, or power attack. I personally think the devs should change this. The game shows that when you power attack with a two-handed weapon it takes a lot of stamina and one-handed weapons take less than two handers, not just 1 point.

Maybe stamina should work like weapon speed ( slow weapons use more stamina and have high damage, fast weapons use less stamina and have low damage ) [ That's what the game shows but it is not correct ]. Then you can change veggie soup to recover 5-10 points of health and stamina for 360 seconds to balance things out.

Uhm... Then stop using vegetable soup? It's not like it's mandatory. If you don't like it, don't use it.

I don't understand why you complain. If the vegetable soup ruins your build, just don't use it. Anyway, the health regen part of the soup doesn't work.

As a lifelong RP player, don't tend to eat or drink duing fights. Both hands are occupied in those situations and I don't have a mutated 3rd hand for the job.

I've tried to envision Lydia spoon feeding me health potions and whatnot. Trouble is that after seeing her stumble into a trap or running off a cliff while trying to RP the thought has broken my immersion (and that RP idea).

It's not going to happen. It's a bug that was left as is. Having said that... why are you using it, if it's breaking your game? That doesn't make any sense.

Don't understand people who complain about things being too easy when you use veg soup or blacksmith/enchant/alchemy combinations to make the game easy, then complain about it lol. Self restraint is a wonderful thing to have, in games and life.

What is so difficult to understand? Logic and common sense dictates that if there is something that cheeses the game, you FIX it instead of asking people to "don't use it".

This is the same argument that people used to justify using iron daggers to level smithing. Don't say don't use it. Fix the obvious bug, and in the end it was really a bug and got fixed.

Power attacks and shield bashes use a certain amount of stamina, and an easy way to fix it is to force the player to have MORE THAN 1 stamina before they can do shield bash, like the way it is intended.

Common sense also dictates that if the stove is hot, then stop touching it. Don't continue using something that is breaking the game for you. Don't make a bow that does 10K damage and then tell me the game sux.

A bunch of nonsense! Finish your soup. It's the cornerstone of a nutritious meal after all.

Still, it's not like the dungeons are littered with veggie soup and veggie soup is the No 1 Potion to use. You still have to buy/collect four different ingredients, find a cookpot, cook it, and - and this is where I personally fail - remember to use it!

Just because something is in the game, you don't have to use it!

Bah, what kind of warrior stops in the middle of a fight to eat vegetables? Get some meat in yer diet!

OT: Seriously though. If you find something is gamebreaking, don't use it.

Sadly logic and common sense are the two things this forum lacks.

I wonder what would people think if magic behaved the same way as stamina.

720 seconds is 12 minutes. You don't have drink it middle of the battle.
