As someone new to Vintage Story and to these games as a whole. I love the hardness of it. Though, for me as a man who loves to play with others. This game definitely feels like it would definitely be way more fun and easier with a friend. I started solo and with a friend and the game went from hard and less fun to really fun and slightly easier, but nothing crazy. One can cook and hunt food and other look for ores etc. I think the game can be played solo for sure, but is more enjoyable with friends and seems like it might be more focused around that to make it still difficult for a group and isn't finish it all in one day. Which is nice. It also makes good feel useful and needed where other games really don't. Also, dying in the game just like most isn't a huge deal. Like, you drop stuff and have to run back which with stone paths and able to set spawn location isn't really a huge deal still. Also, when I'm doubt. Mod it out. I almost never start a game vanilla anymore. Take time to think what you feel you need see if mod has it fine a friend or more and enjoy yourself. God bless and hope you find what you need to season it up just right for you.
