I wonder if the devs are entirely sure where they'll go with this - a game like ending which would satisfy most who've spent time in Valheim, or a more cynical view where we'll be shown what we did in the world - grinding away, industrialising, mining the landscape, and killing off the inhabitants, villages, spirits, for greed, progress, dreams of nostalgia, and to blindly serve some spiritual authority of some kind?

There is some room for a message, but it's just a game in the end, and not much of a choice in it, if the choice to play Valheim has been done.
