Mhm...
Sorry, that is one of the most nonsene comments for a Sandbox Survival Game!

What is "progress through the game successfully" mean? ^^

Is it maybe Breed Chickens?
Are Chickens NEEDED?

Or is it to Breed Lox?
Are Lox NEEDED?

Or is it to Farm Barly?
Is Barley NEEDED?

Or is it to Farm Onions?
Are Onions NEEDED?

Or is it to Build a BIG Castle?
Is a Castle NEEDED?

Or is it to Build a Shield?
Are Shields NEEDED?

Or is it to kill All Bosses?
Are they "all" NEEDED?

i think you get it now? ^^

Becasue (and that is important):
For an "Endless Sandbox Survival Game" like Valheim, there is NO proper Way to "progress through the game successfully"!

So if i wan't to Fish and let's say MY progress through the game is... Fishing, what now?
The Fishing is totally "dumb" right now, especially it was announced with a HYPE, that is all i said.

I catch fish with my Longship. Parked it outside of a small outpost where there were a lot of fishing jumping and every time I went out to it I just was able to scoop a few fish off the deck.

Yeah i know that...
But im actually talking about the "Fishing Skill" using the Baits not "how to get a fish", that are completely different things in Valheim :D
