there are two things I find odd about the building system 1:that after you have collected the materials you have to wait for the build to finish, this isn't a mobile game, it doesn't make sense to have this as a mechanic 2:that blacksmith/enchant/alchemy are in the skill tree linked to skill points, players are just going to respec to use these, make them built and upgraded the same way as everything else....

Do I remember things wrong or could we make potions ourselves right at the start ? If I understand it right now we need to build the lab, and more before potion creation is available, and then will we be able to brew potions ourselves like before or is it only crew NPC dependent ?...

Especially since it doesn't give any warning that there is limited space when you start building stuff. I dislike being limited in open-ended games like this. I am just one dude though, and the game is really great otherwise.

Here are some suggestions to make the game more immersive. Why not have the DLC unlock after building the laboratory with the message "During the building of the laboratory you discovered a secret cache of equipment left by the previous occupants". An idea to reduce the cost of unlocking the DLC - treasure chest keys. Another use for the copper, silver and gold ingots you collect and make during play. You need a key which you have to craft to unlock the DLC chests, copper keys for Apprentice level, silve...

As title mentions, Im not sure whether it is intentional to not allowing me construct all facilities in one playthrough.
