Now this sort of problem is where modding excels. Use ones that increase the range of weapons and armor, refuse the siren call of sorcery and face down everything with simple cold steel.

But you were the glue holding this whole thing together! What are the devs supposed to do without your priceless insight? what are WE all supposed to do now? you're being very selfish.

The introduction of magic was really stupid. Luckily you can still stick to real weapons. Hopefully they don't make magic required for the last 2 biomes.

Your choice. The devs all ready have your money. You do realize that the devs are staying very close to Norse mythology right? Wizards are mentioned in Lokasenna (part of the poetic edda). Galdr was witchcraft, sorcery, and the magic arts. Seiðr was spirit journeys, magical healing, and divination.

You've even been using magic this entire time without realizing it. Ever since you used your first minor healing or stamina mead, summoned your first boss, or used your first forsaken power.

It can all be found in some part of Norse legend or as part of some Norse paganism.

I can understand how you feel somewhat. Magic is part of Norse mythology. So for it to be included in Valheim is natural. I just think that some of the type of magic being added is well outside Norse Mythology. But then again the whole premise of Valheim, a 10th world, is outside of Norse beliefs. Them ain't Valkyrjur that drop you at your spawn point. And if Huginn is as annoying in real life as he is in the game, totally get why Odin sends him out to travel Midgard. The All-Father probably just wanted some peace and quiet.

So my approach to Valheim isn't one expecting adherence to what little we know about Norse Mythology and Beliefs, but more like Marvel's approach - very, very loose for mass appeal.

Do hope that you find a game to your liking. I know there are a few RPG's that stick close to reality in medieval times. Good luck.

Actually it is. If you zoom in during the opening screen you can see its a woman wearing a raven suit or some blend of humanoid woman and giant raven.

You are brought to Valheim at the behest of Odin. Odin is, amongst other things, god of magic.

Now the game is turning into a typical fantasy rpg. Based on road maps and Dev sneak peeks on future content, the game is no longer playable for me. I'm just not interested in more occult and magic using gameplay. So for that reason I'm not playing Valheim anymore.

So what's the point of you telling everyone this? It seems like 99% of everything we do in life. "We all stop playing/doing XYZ because of personal reasons." Okay, so what? You had your hundreds of hours of Valheim. You got your money's worth. Anything else? Anything new to add? No? Sooo..........?

I used to road bike 40-75km's per day 4-5 days a week. These days, I ride about 20km's a day 2-3 days a week. Does everyone need to know? Do I really need to announce this? Give me a break. The only person who cares, who really cares, is you.
