You can use food or drink, either/or, from my personal experience. There are unique recipies, however, that have more effects on them, so keep your eyes pealed.
Not to hijack this thread but I believe this is correct, you can only have one potion or food effect (other than instants that restore) going at once. I thought I would be able to load up on them so initially I chugged a bunch of different pots and ate a number of different foods and the only one that showed up was the last one.
I understand the reasoning but it would be nice to have both one food and one effect going at once because they are from different sources.
I agree ..after all, we do eat and drink don't we?
Most of us. Unless we're playing.. like a new game or something.
Err... that reminds me. I forgot to do something.
We must all aspire to better ourselves, to better our person and to better our quality; but no matter how much better we become, no single one of us will ever be better than all of us combined.
