a wall of text wouldn't motivate me

so in short:
Don't spoil your adventure by looking at other people or videos, unless it's a beautiful build inspired by a movie, because in my case nothing motivates me more than re-watching Lord of the Rings and Hobbit series.

Or get some extra spice like mods, don't let the burnout to take away your enjoyment.

And well... Valheim is a very unique game, you will comeback to it anyway.
