*Before* the Hearth and Home update, I felt that Stamina was already at a premium, but I felt that Stamina was at least manageable, so long as you kept your eye on it. Back then, I felt it would be nice if Stamina either had a *slightly lower cost* to use, or that it *regenerated slightly faster*, but was otherwise fine.

Now, *With* the Hearth and Home update, I have noticed a *marked difference* in Stamina use. I have played with both a Late-Game character and a Fresh Character, and in both cases Stamina feels jarringly quicker to spend, and replenishes far too slow in relation to its expenditure. And I am fully aware of juggling different foods for Stamina versus Health, and I have always made ample use of Meads. I'm a middle-aged fat guy, and yet my Viking characters (both experienced and new) in Valheim get winded much faster than *I* do; that doesn't feel right to me, somehow.

In a future patch or update, I really hope that Stamina gets fixed to cost less to use, and/or faster to replenish.
