This game without mods is kind of boring. This game is still clearly being put together to have a full vanilla experience. I suspect that at the end of content rollout, probably won't hit as satisfactorily what you can get out of these mother fucking mods.

The mods in Valheim make Valheim worth talking about, because without them to curate finely-tuned server experiences you really have a nothing sandwich when it comes to fresh survival genre experiences.

I'm running this game in steam on the open beta playtest version of the game that allows this and that mods to make this run fuckin SICK.

Right now I'm playing in a private server with 15 other people with ValheimPlus and like the other 4 top downloaded mods you can find on rmodman2. It is extraordinarily fun to run through a relatively normie experience with so many quality of life features I cannot list them here; with a buncha guys who love base building, farming mats, and making a wolf breeding pit to create dozens of wolf dogs that destroy everything that wanders close to our fully moated castle town called Piss Village.

I'm so into Valheim I'm going to do a hardcore combat run where the map is turned off, leaving the server players have to craft physical waypoints to what location you need to go to. It's gonna be insane.

So yeah, vanilla Valheim? Aight.

Modded Valheim? It's now the best survival game.
