Personally i think it would be interesting to find other viking npcs populating small villages or just wandering the world, from the runestones we find scattered around Valheim it seems we are not the first or the last ones to arrive.

It would be cool to be able to recruit npcs to populate the villages and towns we make, maybe they could generate resources such as mining, hunting, fishing, farming etc or be able to help defend the settlement, it would also be interesting to be able to trade with these npcs found in random villages in the wild using gold to buy ingots or perhaps pre-made foods and other resources.

What are your guys thoughts on this? Honestly i just wanted to populate my villages or have some other vikings to fight against
