You don't have to do it, but it helps immensely. The time consuming brewing process keeps you from just brewing a ton of these things.
It's definitely a game you need to have a lot of time to commit to it. Most of the time will be spent training in weapon handling to get every perk you can get, just so you don't get killed by some asshole bandit on the road. It's definitely not something you want to dive into if you've only got an hour or two here and there to play.
I never did learn how to be worth a shit with a bow. There's no aiming reticle and it's harder than shit to hit anything with it.
It literally gets to a point in the combat where if you land a 3 hit sword combo on someone, you get incredibly hyped. You're literally guarding, specifically targeting the weakness in your enemy's defense, while being careful not to overextended, leave yourself open, or burn your stamina to where you're momentarily defenseless. The first time I took down a trio of bandits, I felt like the king of the world, because in this game that is a massive accomplishment.
I'd heard the original game kind of ended on a cliffhanger, or story felt unfinished, so I never finished the first games main story, but now that 2 has finally come out I'll probably revisit and finish up the story before jumping into part 2.
In typical rpg sequel fashion though, there's a dumbass progression reset that takes place, supposedly Henry gets ambushed and nearly killed, and so you have to relearn everything as part of your recovery process.
