Perfect parries no longer using stamina is big. Most of Valheim’s combat has been trying to get out of the way from attacks but now it sounds like you can tank hits with the right timing.
You can adjust a lot of stuff now. And there are also mods that let you adjust even more. You can make it so death is just a minor inconvenience that just sends you back to spawn, keeping everything, including your XP, if you wanted.
I usually turn down the greydwarf spawns, double the drop rate of everything, and enable using portals while holding metal along with removing the death punishments. Only adjusting the mob spawns requires a mod.
Dang of everything you just said turning down greydwarfs sounds amaaaaazing.
Other major inconvenience is definitely metals through portals, but I’m not sure if I’d click that one off. It is really annoying to constantly be running through biomes that I have no interest in grinding just for giggles, but part of me wonders if that’s part of the charm.
Some of them can be changed in an already made world, but others can only be set at world generation. If it’s been long enough, you might have to generate a new one to get new biomes and such to appear anyway.
Keep in mind your character can be separate from your world so you could have all your gear and levels in a fresh new world, too.

5 new beard styles.
The real update here.
It does sound like combat will be better, finally being able to fight in slopes without mods is a big bonus.

I really hope this makes the crystal axe useable later in the game. I absolutely love the look of it, but it feels like I’m fighting in a pool.
I couldn’t get past the grindy feel to the game and how you lose levels when you die. I guess it’s probably better with group but eh.

Oh damn I did not know this. I should give it another shot. Do I have to start a new world if I want to change these settings?

Ah right, ok, that’s not so bad. Ah hell I might go back then! My backlog will have to keep expanding then lol.
Hot damn! This looks like a much bigger update than I was expecting… and I never expected them to add bears to the Meadows! So pumped.
Finally a reason (besides sailing) to have the moder power!
