A bit of a gameplay question here. During the toughest dungeon in Cloud Castle 2, one of our Beta-testers had to use 3 very strong healing potions, 2 Steelskin Potions, a Berserk Potion and a party members Heal ability.

The question is, how important should potions be to a game? Or other expendable items? These could be one shot weapons, healing potions/scrolls, or whatever.

Should you need them to get through dungeons? Any dungeon? Or just the toughest of the tough?

Or should they just be safeguards for if you get sloppy? If you take a few too many hits from a bonca before a boss, and need something to boost your chances?

And furthermore, how many potions do you all buy? I don't usually invest in many, but do any of you really tool yourself up before venturing out into the wilderness?

Discuss.
