There are different ways to play the game; one might even say there are different games within the game.

A purist's position might be that one can accept hints from Hugin the Raven but must figure everything else out for him or herself. No looking up videos online, no consulting the Valheim wiki, no watching youtube videos. Progress through the game, kill all the bosses, complete Odin's mission as he intended. No console, no devcommands. If SwampDragon does not completely agree with this approach he's not that far off. Neither am I. If Odin wanted you to use the console and devcommands to defeat his enemies, he would have made you a god.

I don't think Pain is Weakness is interested in using the console or devcommands to accomplish Odin's mission. I think he wants to play two games, one in which he completes Odin's mission without using the console and a separate game in which he wants to see what kind of elaborate buildings, bridges, docks, etc. he can construct. I personally don't have any problem with that.
