Please give unlimited potions supply to shops in BG:EE.
( Or refresh their supply every few days, but it can be hard on game script )

In BG1 was very low numbers important potions like potion of invisibility, or antipoison.

Loot of wizards are alchemists so they can made more potions.

    Didn't some shops have unlimited supply of stuff, such as the Sorcerous Sundries' magic arrows? I remember I bought them bulk-wise there, and I was a little shocked when I realized that in BG2 I couldn't just get as many arrows +2 as I needed from the shops.

    No way. Limited resources are part of the fun.

    Potion of invisibility are OP. A thief with 5 of them can solo Sarevok without getting hit. Besides, there is a ring for that :p

    As for the Antidote, well, you can get plenty really. Agreed on the fact that there aren't plenty in stores for such a common potion. Infinite supplies would be kind of cheesy. MORE supplies would be good though. (or at least for common potions like antidotes and healing potions. 15 storm giant strength potions are too many for example)

    Give Sarevok immunity to backstab.

    Yes it is true.
    Some merchants in ToB have unlimited potions and arrows supply. ( So why not in BG:EE ? )

    BTW:

    Clerics in temples are off potions ?
    This is normal for you ?

    " Hello, this is temple of Helm. I am very sorry, but we dont have any healing potions. One adventurer was buy ALL FIVE ( ours full inventory ) and we dont know how made more. "

    Limiting potion in BG is a game balance issue. Unlimited potions would make the game a cakewalk,

    Bag of holding + unlimited number of storm giant strength potions = Why did I reroll so many times for Strength.

    No way. Let it stay the way it is now.

    BG1 was cakewalk even on hard difficulty...
    This is about unreal game mechanic.
    Is stupid if temples have 3 - 5 healing potions.

    I gotta agree. You're not the only people expected to buy potions. They should be making plenty of them, or have stores re-stock every 24 hours or so. If you have gold, you should be able to buy common consumables.

    At least restock the potions (say 10 or 20 or something) once a week. This would make potions a little better, but put in the time so that it's like they are brewing up a new batch when they run low on the ones on hand. On the other hand... clerics cast spells of healing, too, and they get those once a day. I would see them focusing on that much more than brewing potions in a temple.
