Bringing this back on topic, I think Herb Lore is kind of boring, but when I played Skyrim I was a seriously obsessive flower picker^W^W spell component collector. Even when I had all the spell components and money I needed. So maybe there's a way to make it fun. Like, detail 20 different herbs and flowers, and make most of them dirt common and just drop them into scene descriptions regularly, but make a few of them very rare and valuable. ("Oh yeah, you need buggerwort to cast Steal Youth. That's why it's illegal in 3 kingdoms. Even though it's also useful for Instant Regeneration.")
