I'm also not a fan of the new max health = better blocking system. That means you will have to eat food that buffs health, and neglect stamina, to get the most out of blocking. Again, it feels like they're taking a simple system that worked just fine and over complicating it.

One of the main things I liked about Valheim was the simplification of systems that tend to become unnecessarily complex in some games. Crafting is fairly simple. Repairs cost nothing beyond the proper bench or forge. Food was simple. Cooking wasn't too complicated.

I won't really know for sure until I play for a bit, but I really think they're starting to head down the wrong path.

It's the exact same now. Just that certain food are more Stam focuses and others are more Health focused. Gotta balance it out. Wanna go hunt and Farm? Load up on lots of stam. Wanna go kill and fight mobs. Load up on health. Or find a sweet middle ground that works for you. With the new food items this is easy.

That sounds like it's absolutely not the "exact same" as it was.
