Think i have to agree with OP on most points here.

But what i find most useless are consumable items such as Food, Poitions etc.

Some if not all food that are suppose to enchance specific stats, dosent even show up
as confirmation as it would be in effect on the stats screen.

How pointless is that if i cannot see that my expensive
food i just spend 25k on have some sort of effect?

Ya... YellowGremlin says it gives 25 + HP...bla bla bla...,
but how can i visually confirm this on the stats screen?

And potions.... lol good lord they couldnt be more useless.
Bring back the real stuff, with some kick to it.
