I find the greydwarfs unpleasant because you have to be constantly killing them, and it's so easy. They throw a stone; you whack them back and send them flying twenty meters, dead. It's reminiscent of student riots in certain less fortunate countries. Greydwarfs also remind me of Ambrose Bierce's famous definition of aboriginal people in the Devil's Dictionary: "Persons of little worth found cumbering the surface of a newly discovered country. They soon cease to cumber; they fertilise." (In Valheim, harvesting their eyeballs for portals is a peculiarly gross touch.)
What I would like is some way to buy the greydwarfs off. They are enemies to skeletons and draugr; you have some shared interests. Odin sent you to Valheim to make the Forsaken submit, after all, not to kill every living being. How about bribing the greydwarfs to leave you alone by giving them some shiny object, say the crystals that you obtain by destroying stone golems (objects that are at present useless in the game)?
