    I only started playing a few days ago and thought I'd be put off by the graphics but it's actually the graphics that kept me in this game. The world of Kenshi is so beautiful in an unsettling, surreal way. Visiting each zone for the first time is rewarding in a way that so many similar games fail to do. it's captured something really unique to make limping across a desert enjoyable.

      Kenshi’s really unique, it just has charm. I think it’s just how passionate the main guy that developed it was. The man spent more than a decade just working on the same game. I think towards the end of the cycle he at least had some employees.

      Its a weird case for sure. I feel like every facet by itself is kinda subpar but when taken in all at once its a surpsingly beautiful game.
      It really says something about games where everything is photorealistic, perfectly modeled, often scanned from real life that in the end are bland and forgetable. I feel like so many games are dedicated to trying to push people's computers to the point of lighting on fire that they lose focus on making an aesthetic that anyone would ever care about.
      Kenshi on the other hand looks jank af but manages to be beautiful because every aspect of it has a specific intent to create the feeling of a desolated world full of sick and miserable people clinging to the barest thread of hope. In spite of not being perfect or realistic looking it still manages to feel more real than tripple a studio games with hyper realistic graphics and it also manages to light your computer on fire while eating your frames like popcorn.

    I suffer from crippling depression. Bought Kenshi two days ago after postponing it for years. And let me tell, this game might just save my life. I was so depressed that no other game could motivate me. I bought several games on Steam just to ask refund minutes later. My depressed brain can't muster the energy to follow linear games. But Kenshi is the perfect sandbox, I just never know what adventure will come next. I feel like playing with my G.I Joes again, sending my squads of unique characters on their missions across the backyard. This game and also videos such as this are keeping me going.
    Best investment I've made in the last decade!

      I understand what you're saying about being depressed, can I ask what you do for a living? I felt similar to what you explained, I was told I need to do something "hard" to not think about anything else. I ended up in CDL driving school, it was hard, but it made me get out of my own head. I'm currently still numb, but I don't hate myself as much. Long story short I'm just giving you advice I got. Do something hard that benefits you, you'll get put of your head, you'll get a dopamine drop for succeeding, and better your life. You can tell me I'm dumb, but it worked for me. Good luck gent, it's rough out there.

    My favorite way to play this game is to build in the most inhospitable zones and adapt to survive in them so i dont have to worry about being raided. If i pick up the game again i want to make a squad of human and maybe shek in the black desert, and just have good enough gear to not need to worry about the acid rain. Previously ive set up shop in the fog islands, leviathan coast and even the ashlands, all of which make for some awesome passive defenses.
    My favorite had to be the fog islands simply for the fact of everytime i got a raid notification, either they wouldnt even make it to my base or theyd show up heavily wounded, missing half their people and get slaughtered by me instead. One thing i found hilarious was the amount of paladins and inquisitors that managed to survive the hordes just to keep running around the zone seemingly lost just trying to survive, and eventually seeing the text bubble of them screaming once they finally get caught and eaten. If you build up on one of the "islands" in the fog the fog men dont like to go up there to much so they tend to leave you alone

    My favorite part of this video was you tipping your hand at the end letting us know that you already had the power to give us more, you would just withhold it until we paid up in comments. Kenshi vibes. And my personal favorite personally experienced kenshi moment (I’ve been a huge fan of the game for a long time but played less than 5 total hours) was when I led some bandits into town hoping the guards would save me, and when the bandits were vanquished and I lay dying at the top of shinobi tower, one of the shinobi guards picked me up. I started cheering assuming they would help me survive, but quickly realized they were actually just picking me up to throw me out so I could die outside the city walls and stop bleeding on their floors.

    I had a playthrough where I bummed around the hub mining copper for a while (usually do that do build up my starting funds) but when I finally made my way to Squin, NOBODY was there.
    No merchants, no guards, no recruitable npcs, not even a body in sight, a literal ghost town. I always assumed some massive group of slavers or something came in and enslaved the whole town, and that’s why there were no bodies. Idk if that’s even possible or it was just a glitch in the rendering, but that’s my head cannon lol.
    Anyways since no one was around I was able to loot every container in town, built my lockpicking and thievery up really high really fast with no risk, plus I amassed a crazy amount of caps, food, medical supplies, weapons and armor for my whole squad. Best start I ever had, that group went on to be legendary.

    my personal favourite way of making money in kenshi involves going to a bar and looking for anybody in the drifter faction. guards dont care if you start a fight with drifters, and because they are almost always low level with terrible gear you can easily just walk up behind them in stealth mode, hover your mouse over them then spam rmb and space to assassinate them like 10 times inorder to power level your assassination skill, once its around 50 you can then go to a robotics merchant (theres one in mongrel) that sells cybernetics and then use the same trick to knock them out and rob their entire stock. a good haul of cybernetics can sell for upwards of 100000 cats

    One time, I woke up as a rebellious slave. Met two imprisoned outlaws who were eager to help me. One of my friends escaped at the cost of a limb. Several days later he manages to rescue me, dying in the process. The second guy died also in the process of distracting the guards. After a long walk to the closest village, all bruised up, I managed to disguise myself in order to stay under the radar. A bar fight happens, dozens of dead body's, Including guards, with insane good supplies on their bodies and some cats. Off course I initiated that, and when I was on my weakest point, with a bag full goodies, my leg got slashed off, and 10 guards imprisoned me for life. Couldn't run, couldn't fight, only skillset I managed to master in the slave camp was stealth and lockpicking.
    After several days, mastering the art of stealth, I dropped all the gear in a safe corner in the prison, befriended the Shenobi Thieves and persuaded them to help me get out of the city. But, we failed and all of us were Imprisoned. I was all alone, I only had allies but no squad members. Until one night, I managed to escape past dozens of guards, going at 1mph. We got a few worthy items for a leg-trade, but we had to ditch the big bag.
    Stranded in the desert, with a sh*t ton of skimmers, bandits and slave traders, we managed to reach yet another city after several days crawling through the sand. I felt weak, and missed my buddies in the slave camp, who were gone. When reaching the gates, guess what; The guards recognised me and tried to imprison me for terrorism. Eventually, After their failed attempt finding the ghost of the night, I sneaked Inside the robotic shop, got a maxed out stealth limb, and just stealthed my way past them. Running through the night, I managed to sneak back to the previous camp, getting all that juicy loot from the bar fight, and escaping yet again. Running all the way to robot territory, I managed to earn a steady 50k cats, and premium gear for my fighter. 20-ish days had passed, more then 15 were legless.
    After that hustle, I became a bounty hunter, scrambling as much coin and eliminating as much targets as possible. One day, the slave traders of the allied nations will get a one-man army in front of their door, slaughtering everyone in the slave camps and releasing the slaves one by one. This is for you, Shark and Donnie.

      There are two reasons really:
      1. A fully simulated, autonomous and emergent game world is an infinite content generator that doesn’t rely on procedural generation, RNG or manual developer input. It takes away the monopolising control developers have over the game’s content and also their ability to craft linear narratives within a game world that is anything but linear. Simply put: if the game can be autonomous enough that it can form its own emergent story/content without developers input, Then the devs cannot sell DLC.
      2. The entire philosophy of such a game world that is designed from the ground up to revolve around *itself* and not the player. This is basically flat out HERESY to western AAA game studios and it’s developers, those that have been taught throughout their time in university and game design school that video games must always be “player-centric”. The player must never be an equal to NPCs, they must always be superior to them, The narrative of the game must always bend over backwards to serve the player, to sell that Power fantasy to them. Because to them, that is what is objectively fun. It is like one of the 10 commandments of game design to those people.
      Notice how in far cry games, the people you’re fighting for never fight alongside you, or if they do as companions are never actually in equal power to you and hardly ever damage the enemy, and are never more than some kind of gimmick to sell the game?
      and also notice how the enemy faction you’re fighting against never retaliate against you, they never form up a concrete counter offensive to retake what you’ve captured on the map. The world is always static, and it always waits for you.
