Some gripes and suggestions for the developer of an overall excellent game

Bones + Beech seeds = Chance of Birch Tree?

-Taming animals seems clunky. Taming wolves is next to impossible according to the youtube tutorials although I will be trying to do this more in the future anyway.

-When you try to attack something slightly above or below you in elevation the hitbox of your attack remains entirely level even when you move the view up or down on purpose. This needs to be addressed I feel. If I take the time to look up or down when I attack the hitbox of my attack should move that direction at least a small amount.

-Deathsquitos are SUPER ANNOYING and I realize they are a deterrent to under-leveled characters but it just feels bad to hear the buzzing and swing on a slight incline and not be able to hit them and then take a ton of damage.

-The axe has no secondary attack. The other weapons do. I guess its more of a tool but we are vikings after all… I do love the unarmed kick move.

-Boar and Necks pursue you a long way. They aren't tough enemies of course. Perhaps this is by design.

-There should be some way to make an offering or something to reduce or increase raids. This is just a suggestion and would be cool.

-Lox turn radius speed and pursue distance. It is strange that such a large animal with powerful attacks is always right on you. They are basically a large cattle. Deadly at close range but quickly loses interest if not attacked. The challenge isn't a bad thing though so I'm not saying this should be reduced by a lot.

-Ability to grab items underwater at the shoreline is pretty difficult. The ability to dive a small amount or something would be cool even if it isn't fully animated.

-Dandelions grow up through floor areas, primarily wood floors and between cracks in stone. This isn't that important and sometimes it looks cool. I just thought I would mention it for those who are into building.

-Autowalk while crouching is not allowed

-Trees falling over knocking into each other so easily is cool but it does get a but annoying for those of us who are landscaping. Perhaps reduce this by a small amount.

I hope this doesn't seem like I'm complaining. Most of these things I feel like can be fixed with just a slight change in number value. We're talking like 5-10%. Even if these issues aren't fixed I would be able to deal with it.

I also love how the game is very stable and when you drop an item it stays there. I have had only like 2 or 3 crashes or glitches after a very long time playing!

Thanks developers for making a cool game with a great atmosphere that doesn't take up 50 GB of your hard drive space!
