I know Valheim's a tough game. I'm used to being dogpiled on, killed, dying for stupid reasons, and having to go back for my stuff. It's the way the game rolls, and it's fun. But...

I was halfway across the world from my spawn. I was at the plains, which I haven't been around much, but I was exploring, staying off shore to avoid the deathsquitos. After going 3/4 the way around a large mass (wind in my face the entire way no matter which direction I sailed, of course), I got stuck on a sandbar, way off shore. Of course, a couple of goblins swam out and broke my longboat in what seemed like half a dozen hits. I can handle two goblins, ordinarily. I tried to shoot them from the boat, but that didn't work, they were too close. I'd have fought them in the waist deep water after it broke, but the water disarmed me every time it rose, and the mobs have no such problem. Dead. Again.

The heck with it. I broke out the cheat commands. It STILL took me a half hour to fly across in god/debug mode, kill the goblins, reclaim my stuff, and set up a teleporter to pick up the exploration later, when I felt like it. I have no idea how much IRL time it would have taken to do it the RIGHT way, but I decided I didn't want to find out. Tired of getting hosed like that. Life's too short.
