Okay, Odin. That makes him the one that sent me here, right? What's he doing there, and if he's so great why doesn't he take care of this situation.
That way the devs" could give us a Creative Mode for sometimes when I just want to build.

Yes, he sent you to Valheim because you did not prove yourself in your past life to be accepted into Valhalla with the rest of the heroes, so he put you in Valheim so you can have a second chance at reclaiming your honor, hence why he doesn't help you, but he loves you as a son and believes in you, so he shows himself from time to time when he's checking on your progress so you know he hasn't forgotten about you. And, as stated by another Steamer, there is a Creative Mode already, you just need to go online to find out how it works.
