I like a lot of the new items, and I like that some of the lower tiered foods are more useful now. This game owes me nothing, I have had a ton of recreation with it for the cost of a lunch.

That being said, I hate that stamina and health have been so nerfed. Even Eikthyr power seems to have been nerfed. I played high stamina before and tried to avoid taking hits, I like to run and move fast. Now it is so easy to get over run and out of stamina. Basically any prolonged activity is no longer viable. It seems that multiple enemy encounters are more likely now and this is the very thing that needs lots of stamina.

I would like to see reduced stamina drain over all, but if not that, some sort of stamina boost better than the one-shot and timeout of the stamina mead. The suggestions above are interesting.
