I respect your opinion, but I never understood this train of logic. Valheim is a very unrealistic and dreamlike game that has flaming swords, glowing bows, and literal dragons. I for one would love to see more kickass exotic weapon types that can do cool things and look cool. Do you really mean to say that you wouldn't like to take your pick of a spear that crackles with lightning, a sword that spits flames endlessly, or perhaps a megaton sledgehammer that strikes the earth and releases a noxious cloud of poison? Now I'm not saying we should end up with lightsabers and literal lasers or something, but I like the high fantasy aspect of being able to use the elements to my advantage and customize my experience depending on how I'm feeling. Yeah there are probably mods that add enchanting and magic and stuff but it just doesn't feel the same as something officially sanctioned by Iron Gate. If I wanted something more grounded I would play a hardcore survival game. :praisesun: I am not bummed out at all, I am glad there isn't any really super magical weapons with glows and procs and what not like this game was WoW or some other nonsense.
Yes I know we got the Crystal Axe, Frostner, etc... but we do not need a whole enchanting magical weapons line.
The game does have fantasy elements. But it is tasteful. If its kicked up much more my personal opinion would be it can become to much to quickly. Like most modern games today which just have screen vomit all over them. Your not suppose to be a "God" in this game. Your constantly reminded that you are vulnerable and it should keep that theme throughout . Just my 2 cents for the sake of discussion.
