Probably don't need to spoiler warning, but heads up this is about magic in mistlands.

It's really annoying that we now have 3 things to balance. Magic, stamina, and health.

I understand not being able to tank out on everything, but it's just getting a bit tedious now, and the terrain and stupidly tanky enemies make it worse.

Want to navigate mistlands? That's a lot of jumping up peaks.

Want to parry the OP soldiers? Need health. (And when I say OP, I mean too much armour/health, not actually difficult to kill because attacks are easily telegraphed).

Want to play with the new shiny magic? Need Eitr.

Personally, the limit of 3 foods at once and the increasing amount of grind (farming, baking etc) is getting a little on the 'Hmm, I'll load a different game today' side of it.

The mistlands, for me at least is a large mistake. This is the first time I've stopped 'playing' and used the console. Not because difficulty, but because the grind wasn't fun anymore. Especially with the mist. Massive, massive mistake there. You can hardly see the new biome, which if it wasn't for the mist would look amazing.

I mean, that's part of the charm of Valheim, how it looks. How many screenshots do you see of the landscape cos it looks good even with the graphics level?

And with this interesting biome, full of crags, cool trees, awesome structures like old viaducts/pathways you can just see.....mist.
