I knew going into valheim solo was gonna be hard. i played through when yag was the final boss. after a few hours i had to enable "keep equipped items" on death. after a few ocean trips i had to turn on bringing metal through portals. having to build functional bases in every biome solo was just going to add artificial playtime.
a LOT of the difficulty of this game feels artificial. not sure thats the right word. the eternal stick of butter on your boots that make every incline a scooby doo parody. getting pushed off ledges by a mosquito when you're a full grown man wearing plate armor. i feel like 80% of my deaths the real enemy i was fighting was the landscape.
now i'm about 80 hours in
