You know, I've got nearly 900 hours in game. I'm not some new player that tried it out and got bashed. I'm a returning older player that came back and was severely disappointed with what has been done. And it isn't just me. When they started playing around with the stamina, the mods started popping up on Nexus. At one point, I'm told there were 8 mods that basically did the same thing. IMO, that's a huge freaking hint that something isn't right. A brutal survival game? LOL. I always loved that classification.

Stamina foods exist for a reason OP. If you don't like that survival games are grindy thats completely fine. But if you're having that much trouble with the stamina your skills are low level and you're not eating properly.

When you start a new player, you have access to exactly 2 sources of stamina: berries and honey, with honey giving you the biggest boost. And the boost they give is largely ineffective because of the drain rate and the low points. For meat, you have deer, boar, and those amphibious things to eat. Forget the fish, because even if you find them, you can't cook them. The issue with those has always been that the boost starts to wear off long before the food vanishes. There's no reason it should be flashing replace with half the time still to go, but that's what it's doing. Again, IMO, something is wrong. IMO, it should have been left alone.

You want to be a farmer? Go play a farming simulator, is my advice. Frankly, when I play a viking game, I'm in it to viking. As to posting my opinion, and someone's foolish suggestion not to post. Are you suggesting I don't have the right to express my opinion after all the time I've put into the game? Seriously? You'd go there?

An opinion is just that, an opinion. And mine is as valid as any other.

But hey, at least they took the time and effort in EA to make the fish jump. Yeah, that was important.
