So in every ES game I've loved being an alchemist and making incredibly powerful and complex potions. Part of that enjoyment was being able to give them unique names. I think we should be able to name our homemade potions in Skyrim.

Being able to name our potions serves two purposes: 1) A sense of accomplishment at crafting something unique, similarly to naming our enchanted gear, and 2) being able to quickly differentiate our unique potions from generic potions or potions with only 1 effect.

For example, one of my favorite potions to make in Skyrim is one that Restores, Regenerates and Fortifies magicka. But since I can't name it, and every potion only is named by its first effect, there's no simple way to differentiate my Elixirs of Power (as I would like to call them) from normal restore magicka potions.

Would this be possible?

I dont know why youd have to write something like this.. Youd think bethesda would have done what you have stated as its cleary needed. My health potions that i make are sometimes labelled fortify health, which i never use so it gets lost in the massive list of generic named potions. what were you thinking tod howard? And also i miss the larger variety of potions you could make in morrowind/ oblivion. seems like there are 5000 ingredients in skyrim but theres only 5 effects that they all have. I want some potion of night eye, water walking, detect life, levitate, i want to be able to name my potions FEATHER not INCREASE STRENGTH. Skyrim is such a HUGE WORLD and there are no usefull potions to make other then health magica and strength. I love plants and i love exploring and collecting herbs but not as much in skyrim.. saddening

Yea, this thing hugely annoys me too. For example, making a cure disease potion with some ingredient, resist poison effect comes with it. Ok, just an added bonus, but now my cure disease potion is named 'Resist Poison'. Any solution for renaming would do for me. I'd guess it might be possible with SKSE or Dragon, even renaming the potion after the creation would be sufficient.

Yeah I really don't know why Bethesda took this feature out. It was very handy and also fun. I like to make potions with multiple interesting effects, like invisibility + regen health, fortify one-handed + fortify stamina, etc. But without being able to tell which is which I often just make them for the sake of making them and then sell them/store them away because I know I'll never think to use it because it doesn't have the right name.
