If it wasn't for skill-loss, you could go into a new territory with your 2nd-best gear, or even with trash from your bin, and gather intel until you are killed for free. Then you could put on your super-suit to go back for the plunder. Your tomb would even give you a corpse-run boost.

Valheim doesn't let you gather free intelligence. If you want intel, you have to be willing to trade intel.

If you still hate the idea, you can effectively disable it via the dev commands. The dev commands are not just cheats. They are what we have instead of the elaborate options console that Valheim 1.0 will have.

Valheim 1.0 won't cost $20.00.

I thought that way too. I tend to lean towards hardcore gaming.

But then I got killed multiple times from these things:

1: Top thing I die to: Tree-Avalanches (One tree hits another and another and in the span of 5 seconds you have 12 trees all falling in different directions and you cannot get out)

2: Getting stuck on weird stump/bush collision when shooting a troll and can't move.

3: Being killed by a draugr archer in one of the sunken tombs that is INSIDE a filth pile. You can't hit them because they are inside of it. You can't break it because a pick is two handed and without blocking the arrow your hp go down fast. You can't see them so you can't tell when to block. lol It becomes a game of chicken really. They shoot...you sprint in...swing pick a few times...run out...and hope the arrow you catch doesn't crit ;p

4: Insta killed by a wraith backstab in the swamp. Ooooo I hate those guys hehe. :)

So disable the skill loss with a mod. When I start dying to my own idiocy then I will remove the mod :)
