[2021] Valheim Accessibility Options

Hello Folks!

I'm a legally blind gamer who recently purchased Valheim and really enjoy the concept and gameplay. Unfortunately, I can't participate in much of the gameplay due to it being very visual-impairment-unfriendly.

I understand that the game is in Early Access, but here are a few suggestions to make the game more user-friendly for a disabled fan like me.

1.) Cursor Size: Honestly, this suggestion could work for a LOAD of games, but please include an option to increase cursor size. Let us make it as laughably honking huge as we want. This will help with menu navigation and map viewing.

2.) Crosshair Size: On a similar note, allow us to increase the size and/or color contrast of the crosshairs.

3.) Brightness: THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SUGGESTION. Honestly, I can literally only play the game effectively during the peak daylight hours where the sun is directly overhead providing perfect lighting. I understand you're going for a specific kind of mood lighting and night-time shouldn't be as bright as the day, but having a Brightness setting for players with visual disabilities (as well as general population who prefers a brighter game experience) will make the entire game feel much more inclusive.

4.) Highlight Interactables: this might be solved by increasing the Brightness option, but many of the game's findable items are hard to see. I had a VERY hard time finding Branches and especially Stones on the ground at the start of the game, usually only coming upon them by accident. Why not make them stand out more, or at least allow an option in the Accessibility menu for that? Something similar to the Witcher Senses in Witcher 3 allowed me to play that game to completion and would do wonders for Valheim. While some may see it as detracting from the realism, adding this sort of sense effect (or setting) doesn't clash with the afterlife plot.

Great game that I really wish I could experience more fully. I hope to see some exciting, inclusive accessibility settings added asap.

Cheers! -Ace
