Yes it does, but I've been conserving it, since I intensely dislike spending 20% of my time looking for alchemy components. It seems I stop my horse every 50 feet, head out in the bush on foot to the leaf symbols and pick them. Head back to horse, rinse and repeat.

u only craft potions once after it gets refiled by meditating

There are so many flowers in the game, I wish there was a solid way to filter where to look for them. Unless there is in the glossary-type screen and I just haven't noticed yet. I don't enjoy blindly travelling 20 miles with pit stops every 10 feet when a leaf icon shows up.

That part doesn't entirely make any sense at all, but it sure is better than copiously finding flowers for too long.

Nononono

spam the swallow and the extra attack power pots as well as the bombs, then meditate and everything get replenished by automatically using any type of alchool you have in your bag (alchohest and dwarven spirit - you should have tons of those if you loot everything around you)

then, find the formulas for enchanced versions to improve their effect even further.

When you will meet very hard mobs I suggest that you use a bomb combo: first use the one that imbibes the enemy in a flammable cloud, then use the one that burns enemies slowly, the result is crazy.

What is really annoying is when you find recipes for Superior version of potions and oils, or gear, and still haven't found the basic one, lol.

I beat the game once already just not looking forward to starting all over
I managed to clear the final boss at level 31 with mediocre gear so nothing of value was lost

The griffin was different:

Shoot crossbow, shield, hit, hit roll, shoot crossbow.

Just started playing as Ciri. I can see why her mechanics are slightly cooler for melee combat. Kinda annoying that you have no access to inventory or signs though. She's clearly an adept witcher.

The game keeps a fair number of saves, you could always just load a previous save that's a bit farther back.

If it's the one I am thinking of, it's crucial for finishing the Family Matters questline. Don't worry, you'll be outside before you know it.

I've finally finished main questline in Valen. I delayed quite awhile doing sidequests and contracts and exploring. Half of the question marks are actual locations now. I may delay moving on in order to get as much loot and experience points as possible, exploring all over Valen. I'm level 12 now, and I estimate I have about 30 hours in.

annoying or not it is up to the books lore so if they keep the game to the books she shouldnt ever be able to use signs. her capabilities are in another direction but i wont spoil more for those that havent read the books yet

Correct. They seem to have kept to lore on her.
