Tonics dropped by enemies are instantly usable

Support Bug Reports

Summary:
Sometimes enemies drop tonics with buffs. These are instantly usable although they are still owned by the enemy.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Defeat a strong enemy with the appropriate looting table (like a big Stone Golem)
  2. Get a buff tonic dropped (for example, Strength Tonic)

Expected Results:
Since anything the enemy drops is still owned by the enemy (red outline), you should use it only after one of your hearthlings picks it up.

Actual Results:
The tonic can be used instantly, i.e. right from where it was dropped, showing “Loot”, “Move item” and “Use” at the same time, so ownership has no effect.

This seems like it could almost be a game design question as much as a bug. I think it would make the most sense for tonics to be like everything else, and only usable once looted. I kind of like the idea of being able to immediately use dropped tonics, but because you don’t really carry them around yourself, it doesn’t make much sense.

So I think it’s unintended behavior, but I’m not quite sure.

I thought as much. It may be made intended, but as it is now it probably isn’t.
