I think you've misunderstood my post a bit. There is no "War" going on, or at the very least, there is no war my thread is related to. I'm not taking shots at anyone here, I'm addressing a lot of complaints and such that exist due to either ignorance or refusal to use the tools that the game offers you. Everything I have said here is pretty objective and it's entire purpose is to highlight what Valheim actually is, because there are many people who seem to misunderstand what the game is supposed to be like, resulting in complaints about it's core themes. Valheim is kind of unique from what I can tell, and people are getting frustrated because they expect it to be like another game they have played.

I want everybody who play's Valheim to actually understand what sort of game they're really getting into. None of this is about gatekeeping, and accessibility options such as difficulty and so on have nothing to do with it as there is nothing wrong with that. You can't make a video game that caters to everybody though and have to have a line drawn. Changing something in the game that effects all the players because somebody refuses to learn or actually play the game is absolutely something that should not happen.

The entire purpose of this post is to help the community, and I feel like you can't miss that message if you read it. I wouldn't blame you if you skimmed through it because its a decent size. This post is about educating those who appear to be playing the game "the wrong way" as you put it, and helping them play it the right way. And as I said earlier, this is objectively correct. Enemies are supposed to be dangerous, you have a dodge option so you can dodge attacks that will kill you, you have weapons that can trivialise encounters. These are all facts about this game, and people who are not using these game mechanics while complaining that there is nothing they can do are wrong.

If I go and fight Bonemass and repeatedly die to the poison damage because I'm not using those poison resistance potions. I as the player should go and make those rather than complain that Bonemass keeps killing me with poison. I want people to be educated about this video game so they can see if they enjoy it while having a proper understanding, rather than expecting it to be something completely different than it is while complaining about it.
