The most advanced AI ever

The ability of this game to decide what direction i'm going to want to sail so that the wind can always be blowing against me is amazing, uncanny even. It's almost as if it knows where I'll want to go before I do. I'm not sure why my boat even has sails because I've never been in a situation where I can use them. It's like that boomer joke about walking up hill to school, both ways, except this is sailing and it's the wind blowing against you... both ways.

One should remember that this, this is Valheim, and the God Odin is watching you.

One might also consider that Odin may also be toying with you at times.

Just use the oar. The acceleration is low, but it can get up to a nice top speed. And don't forget the longer you are on the water, the greater the chance of encountering a sea serpent. Serpent stew is worth trolling for.

I suggest you start playing Wurm Online.

It's the ONLY game where you experience a light breeze when you're in a hurry, making your boat trip 4 lasting at least 4x longer as expected;

OR

Give you a gale when you have to dock your ship in a tight spot; which is basically impossible to do.

After that, a boat trip in Valheim is a walk in the park.

When you understand it has nothing to do with being advanced and that it isn't uncanny, you may start to consider other possibilities.

Don't worry, you unlock a forsaken power that lets you sail... at the end of the game.
