They could 'escape' whenever they wanted before. It was just a hike back to town, and if that's what they wanted to do, they'd do it - portal or not. Say you're out of health potions and know you're going to need some because a super tough boss is coming up that always murders you, you're more likely to trek it back to town than throw yourself against it and risk multiple durability losses. Really all it does is make it less annoying to get back to town when you need to, but, getting back to where you were is still going to be a chore. Waypoints are spread out enough where if you peace out near a boss you're going to have a decent walk ahead of you to get back to where you were, which is why it's best to enter a dungeon prepared than to rely on the stone of recall to jump back to town midway through.
Super off topic, but how do you post blue comments like this? I haven't been able to post anything other than just plain old quotes and copy/paste text in. How embarrassing.
Yeah, health globes are still the primary source of health regeneration in the game.
I heard that health potion were in the game too, but I don't know to what extent they'll be usable. It definitely won't be as frequent or prevalent as D2, but they aren't completely omitted.
It's a shame though. I always liked the potion system and not because it was candid to the franchise, but because, in my mind, they made for a good gold sink.
