I just want to know where the idea came from, so I have an explanation. It must be copied from another survival game.
And why would we care about your opinion then?
I didn't ask anyone to care. I just want to know which game the death mechanic is copied from.

I can imagine it working in other games, but it's amazingly stupid in Valheim. This suggests a developer used it because of its success elsewhere, not because they thought it would be good here.

children these days i tell ya.
Uh. So if there's no answer to my question, are you saying the devs invented this mechanic for Valheim? I never would have guessed that, and I certainly didn't say it. I gave the benefit of the doubt.

Lol it's not even that big of a penalty, I just started a new character for fun, having skills at 0 doesn't change much from having them at like 50.

Don't tempt me or I'll start arguing for increase in difficulty, like reset kills to 0 on death, after all that would be fair to be reborn anew after dying. :lunar2020contentsnake:
Do it if you want. Punishing mechanics reward caution, not skill, and change the way people play. It's already ruining the game. Argue to ruin a game you like more, if you want to troll the developers into shooting themselves in the foot.
