I'm pretty sure many other cool things could have been done with crafting to make it really usefull and in fact fun.

That would have make the game more difficult as you could easily miss some items and not be able to craft 'that one spell' you want early on and then have to wait later to be able to craft it. This would have been fun, but also in a RP way is your character a psyco that will take blood from his victims? Maybe even make some scrools need 10 bottle of blood or so.ДЄs the skillbook wouldn't be all other the place craft would have been much more important and usefull to be able to progress in the adventure. We could have think of fun things for necromancy such as: empty bottle + spoon + dead body = bottle of blood then use it to make some necro spells. Basic skillbook (before level 4 skills) would have been obtainable from traders and then maybe basic stuff to craft spells.ДЄfterwards you had to find the item you need for a spell for example: + white paper + water + feather = raining scroll then combine this scroll to an empty scroll to make the skillbook Something that would have been really really interesting was to make people craft their own skillbooks, no more i steal all skillbooks from a trader or buy them. Crafting right now is only small bonuses that you don't really care of with some small exceptions (runes / healing potions (or poison) / shoes+needle) I hope devs might read this post, find the game really cool in many aspect but what the hell did they do to crafting?Дon't know what people think about actual crafting, i really find in poor in comparaison of the first game.
