*nods* In Morrowind, it depended on the ingredients you used to make the potion - but there were lots and lots of light herbs with Restore Health, so usually those weighed 0.0 or 0.1 pounds. Storebought ones would be a pound or so, and also tended to have higher effect but shorter duration.
And ha, disarming was not a part of Morrowind - you could get knocked down, but that was relatively avoidable once you'd levelled combat a little. Then again, I know they worked a lot on combat in Oblivion and Skyrim because the Morrowind one was relatively boring (also, invulnerable!).
Yeeaah, sounds like large amounts of a bit of gold here and there are the way to go in Skyrim too. And - I don't know if Skyrim does this, but in Morrowind the "expensive artifact guarded by the frost trolls of doom" route was even more nonsensical: merchants had a set amount of max gold per day. So, you know, it makes remarkably little sense to go for the Daedric Claymore worth 80k gold when there is no merchant in the game that has more than 10k to offer, and *that* one is an Easter egg in the middle of nowhere, and most merchants in town don't go over 1k or so. Why not just go make potions or go pearl-diving or rob a bandit cave or something.
...although I'm still very very bitter about them nuking Vvardenfell, this conversation makes me sad that my computer is so old and laggard that it can't even cope with properly modded-up Morrowind, let alone Skyrim. :(
