You got a really detailed answer ;) Realism affects gameplay in a certain way. This explained the choice of the no-stagger for ranged parries ;) Like I said: You CAN parry.

In Valheim there is a difference between block and parry. A parry always causes a stagger, a block does not. So you can block a ranged attack, but you cant parry a ranged attack anymore in H&H.
