4Game

So, I bought a Valheim and I gotta say it's an interesting game. It got me googling what I need to do, how to craft something and e.t.c., last time I did something like this was in Minecraft, I think, lol. Beated the first boss with just a bow, it was good experience, even tho I hated farming these pigs and deers leathers. So my first question, is it normal or I just the bad seed?

Also I spent multiple tries in order to fully finish the first dungeion I met with the skeletons in the dark forest. Maybe it's because I tried to kill skeletons with a knife instead of a bat (it took me a while to realise that bat is better for skeletons). Did anyone try to do something like this or I'm the only stupid here? Also my second question, is it bad if I built my home near the starting spawn in the first location?

If anyone is interested my seed was "inter".
