I complain about it alot, but in the end, i dont really mind it, it wears off quicker when you fight, and doesnt have much of an impact on fighting if you stock up on a few tonics, to make up for the difference in HP. makes it more challenging to be penalized for basically being killed, so makes me try harder to stay alive even if it means standing in a corner till my health regain.
...or just go read the forums while sitting in jail..i do that sometimes.
