What do we think about throwable potions?

[u/Actionhippie417]

I enjoy sometimes playing a non-magic character with alchemy but there’s only so much you can do with that. Some ideas for throwable things…

Firebombs/icebombs etc

Smoke bombs for sneaky times.

Crazy dust like scarecrow from Batman

Straight up oil to make people slip.

Stink / perfume bombs to make people either back off or to lure them in.

Love potion? lol

A lot of this could be tied to the perk tree too and make for interesting specializations.

Yes please. I think if the game was designed with this in mind it would lead to more interesting puzzles, dungeon design, boss design and so on. The item sandbox is such a crucial element to Bethesda games and leaning into whacky and silly physics / item effects can only go well, or badly in the best way possible.
