Yeah, mixing potions is necessary if you want to buy books early. At least with pure alchemist you don't have to train it before you have 50 alchemy, it get there around level 5 or something.

Yeah, me too. I also like to go to some harder areas in the beginning, and my party is still effective with the alchemist. It's a great class. To spice things up, I also play expert and ironman mode, even though it's not much difference between ironman and normal game, it's still a little different.

I don't quite understand, do you people really think it's so bad with alchemist over bishop? I said all those reasons above and how I play the game, you should say "wow, yeah it's really a great class, I haven't thought about it that way", not being negative and say "well, the bishop can do anything and is much more powerful".

It's about usefulness and effectiviness. With a bishop, I can end the game at level 18, but with an alchemist I can end it by level 20, so the high level spells will be more useful with an alchemist at that time. As I said before, I play the game fast, so an alchemist fits perfectly in my party.
