Plains needs a more sinister name

So I was searching for the swamp after second boss and found it. I sailed around for a bit for a nice spot to place my portal, and what pops up? "Plains". I'm from American, so i thought about the great plains, where the buffalo roam etc. etc. Seems like a nice safe space to set up a little base and portal.

Oh look! a mosquito..... DEAD!

What a set back. All my bronze gear, my boat, everything lost to a frekin mosquito!

If you think the Great Plains is safe, then you've clearly never been there lmao
I'll take Valheim plains over stampeding buffalo and other dangerous animals who live there.
Today buffalo only trample tourist who get too close trying to take a selfie

Wrong. Tell that to the people a buffalo trampled when I was riding horses with a tour group in the plains. I'm sure your expert commentary will ease the pain of their crushed bones lol

well, its on par... the meadows, the forest, the swamp, the mountains, the plains... only the forest really got an extra word to make it scary.
I still can't figure out why mosquitos are not swamp, though.

Pure game balance decision I think. I mean, can you *imagine*?

Bison are an important part of our ecosystem. By trampling tourists who are stupid enough to get close to them they remove the risk that those stupid people pose to the rest of us.

"Tour group" is not a tourist?

I think it's a feature. The plains look so warm and inviting the first time you see them. You think look at these peaceful welcoming plains. I think the juxtaposition to the true reality of the situation is perfect.

Now actually go to the Great Plains and watch as the buffalo trample you.
If you think the Great Plains is safe, then you've clearly never been there lmao
I'll take Valheim plains over stampeding buffalo and other dangerous animals who live there.
