yeah i just tried the new version after a long break, and wtf is this.. i mean it sucked before, but now is it there just as frustration or what?

i can barely even move a perch, how does this make any sense.. in what "world" does it make sense that a warrior tires himself out hauling a perch out of a river.. he fights the mighty 1 pound perch for hours, but alas, he runs out of breath from the effort, and must try again later..

frustrated, he wanders off to find a troll to kill

Well, the fishing skill plays a part now, but other than that, I don't think they changed the reeling features a lot?

That second paragraph and the final sentence makes me think of real life. It's probably easier to slay (internet) trolls than catch a perch, after all, or at least that's how I think I'd manage.
