Does anyone else think that this wasn't as great as it could have been, i mean i went through a lot trying to get 30 crimson Nirnroots and then BAM you get no awesome potion at the end. you do get an active effect that's all right but it doesn't work all the time so its not that great.
I want to see someone fix this because to me it felt like a waste of effort.

Don't really agree at all considering how powerful Alchemy can be, the perk you receive seems to be a spectacular quest reward. Potions are already some of the most powerful items in the game, the chance to get free ones without any effort or monetary expense seems like a great reward for the little work required to get it.

A 25% chance to get two potions isn't a good enough reward?
