Guys, I'm not in an actual lockdown. It was a reference to how the first Kenshi video which came out when lockdown was happening and I binged 100+hours of it. Enough with the weird conspiracy stuff.

I like it when your party is traveling, and Agnu and Beep tell each other a joke consisting only of growls, howls and beeps, and then they both start laughing so uncontrollably they just stop wherever they are and you literally can't control them for a few moments =]
20 years after the events of the video: Agnu: "RAAAAAGH!" (You know, Beep, I was just kidding when I said I was a female. Skeletons do not have genders, unless they were once human, and such human mind-transplants are exceedingly rare. We merely use human gendered pronouns for convenience.) Beep: "Yes, I know. Still, you being the 'empress' confuses the hell out of everyone else. Did you see the look on that mercenary's face the other day when they realized YOU, a mechanized soldier built to be a harbinger of death, was the so-called 'empress?" Agnu: "AAAAAHHHH!" ( *Laughs to himself* He looked half puzzled, half disgusted. I think he thought we had actually tried to mate at some point. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Hivers do not appear to even have genitalia, and Skeletons do not, either.) Beep: "I suppose that makes me Emperor Cyber-Beep the Dickless!" Agnu: "AghhhhhHAAAAA?!" (HA! The Dickless! Anyways, that Clunknad Spanner or whatever his name was, the self-proclaimed Skeleton Wizard that has more in common with a mechanic or a programmer than an actual wizard, has figured out how to repair my voice synthesis module. About damn time.) Beep: "Imagine the first time you speak to one of our subjects. I hope, for comedy's sake, your voice module is capable of a very deep voice." Agnu: "RHAAAAAGHHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
The mention of Morrowind reminds me how in that game you are a ‘chosen one’ but because you *become* the Nerevarine through your actions - there’s been many failed ‘heroes’ before you as well who also fit the bill of the prophecy
Even then you being an actual Nerevarine is still debatable. You fit the prophecy in many aspects but also forced yourself to fit other parts. Just about every test passed is met with “Yay you did it…! buuuut so could someone else of equal skill and knowledge sooo…” *shrug*
I did that for my own homebrew campaign. A player wanted to play as a warforged but wasn't sure about how it would fit the setting so I was just like, screw it and added a hermit nation of rogue warforged that's literally just the second empire from Kenshi complete with mad Cat-Lon.
@@Bluecho4just like how my first D&D game was set in a post apocalyptic Mexico & I played as a schizo alcoholic Doc Holliday-esque warlock who cursed his six shooters bullets 💀
I like your cooking segments, they're basically a half-time show. Have you ever considered making a compilation of them? Or a playlist of just the cooking segments?
Probably the best Kenshi story I’ve watched. Truly an amazing video and an incredible quality which Kenshi deserves in terms of playthroughs. I enjoyed this very much, thank you for the story.
Leviathan Coast is a pretty good place to set up a permanent home. You only ever get raided by cannibals and I found out you can just put all your guys on the roof of a building and the cannibals can't find them.
Personally, I find it funnier to ally with the Gutters and then settle down along Guts' lovely blue coastline. I'm spitting distance from a slaver camp and the Allied Cities *think* I owe them taxes, but... for *some* reason even *if* the slavers, or the tax man, (or the occasional *deeply unfortunate* wandering merchant) manages to *make* it to my gates, they *never* leave, oftentimes without my people ever having to lift a finger.
@@elsgare8485off the coast of Gut there’s a single human member of the Gutters faction. I don’t know if he literally gives you the option to ally with the Gutters, but if nothing else, you should be able to repeatedly heal his wounds until your reputation with the Gutters marks you as an ally.
Not exactly my favorite type of game to play, but I will happily spend hours watching someone else do it. The enthusiasm is infectious. Keep up the great work!
I giggled seeing Rich Evans, Jay, and Mike in the companions list. And I lost my absolute shit tens of minutes later when Rich became the slayer of the Mad Emperor. Glorious.
@@nocultist7050 uuuuuh, needing to do a 150 hour playthrough of the game, finding out that shadowplay did a poopy and recorded half the clips in the wrong aspect ratio, writing a really long script, getting distracted by a bunch of new ImSims. Y'know, stuff.
Kenshi is the game that just keeps giving. Years after playing this game I still almost automatically click when I see someone covering it again. Its a game that brings forth dreams and imagination, and gives them a dirty dusty covering, and then lets you die before you ever achieve them.
It's awesome how you can make the game work, whether you want a solo run, or using the vanilla 30 character cap, or even using the 256 recruitment limit mod. Of course having 256 people, especially if you put any effort into the monumental task of stat grinding them all (which would take hundreds of hours just on ONE save), would be very powerful. I like having 10-15 characters in my main squad and the rest being general laborers, trade runners, guards, and gunners. Except skeleton army runs, in those I tend to go a bit nuts.
Never understood what was so "difficult" about cooking. Unless you're trying to cook for a high class restaurant where it has to look super duper presentable, 90% of cooking is prepare ingredients (usually just cutting), mix everything, and apply heat. I've cooked for my family for 15 years with nothing but my mother teaching me 5 recipes and learning everything else from recipes I'd find from magazines or googling after eating something from a restaurant.
I loved your journey through Kenshi! It's such an insane game, I've tried to get into it a couple of times but its just so 𝘒𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪. I admire your cooking segments, it's a nice aside to the videos. Keep doing what you do!!
This is for sure the best Kenshi playthrough i've watched here on the tube, amazing work Charlatan. Favorite moment is probably all the consequences piling up at 1:28:45, i love these moments of there being actual consequences to accomplishing even the best intentions.
I often do my makeup while watching your videos and I just happened to be admiring my finished look while you did your sign off. Thank you for the encouragement on my art, and the company while I make it 💜
My fiancé takes a long time to do her makeup and always comes out looking like an angel (not biblically accurate). Even though I can't see it, I know your work must be incredible.
I looked at the title and clicked the video, expecting a journey of solo Beep from a Beep to the Almighty Cyber Beep, not a whole rollercoaster of an amazing adventure
I'm doing a Beep solo run. I started off by recruiting Beep at Mingrel and kicking out Not Beep 2. Then i sold iron ore from the local iron drill, bought a house and after an in-game month of grinding Beep was a professional armorsmith. Then i traveled a little and when i returned home i was unarmed with a metal stick by a fogman, the other 3 limbs i've intentionally let to be eaten off and replaced with skeleton limbs. A lot more grinding later and after having a 1v1 with the Bugmaster (i didn't capture him, but i did take his sword), i have just ran into Lord Phoenix's throne room and got beaten up. I was put in prison and they took my edge 2 guardless katana, so i took their leader after an epic 1v1. There is a lot of details missing, like cannibal hunting or that time when i disguised myself as a paladin and bought a small shack in Holy Nation capital and no one noticed that i was a cyber-hiver.
This was legendary and really made me consider (eventually) getting into Kenshi. Also it was somehow very nostalgic, reminding me of the post-apocalyptic anime I fondly remember watching as a teen mainly Gurren Lagann and Casshern Sins. Your storytelling was superb and really brought the gameplay to life.
i'm glad you mentioned Burn, they're one of my favorite unique recruits I just wish they had more dialogue expanding on their concept which is.. really fascinating. They somehow stayed sane enough to NOT wipe their memories like com on!
Not wiping their memories is what makes the Skeletons go crazy, not the other way around. As in, it's a miracle Burns (I always rename him to Burns, it just sounds better, doesn't it, Smitters?) has NOT gone crazy despite having NEVER wiped his memory. Cat-Lon has also supposedly never wiped his memory, and that tin can is straight up insane.
@@kraanz i know right? Burn is such a fascinating character to me I love him, I’ve been working on a dialogue pack for him ! There’s also the whole thing where he mentions he’s like dying and his servos have been freezing up when you first recruit him, and it’s like he has so much potential as a character but he has like ONE unique line
Just wanted to leave a comment and say, this is the best kenshi video I've ever seen. Awesome narrative, good show of gameplay and paced like an actual movie. 10/10 content.
I absolutely love Beak Things, they are such a cool predator design and feel incredibly realistic. They're not some overly complicated outlandish monster that you'd see in many other games they feel like something that could definitely exist in a harsh world. I mean, they basically are giraffes which do in fact exist IRL and those fuckers fight each other with their necks as is despite being herbivorous. Being a bird-giraffe combo essentially absolutely makes sense and the way they attack would be absurdly effective, we are quite frankly lucky they're fictional and I love how innocent they look, at first glance you would definitely think "Oh it's a giraffe thing I bet they're chill...wait why is it running at me" I didn't go in to Kenshi blind but I had no idea just how insanely strong they were until I saw them ripping apart some bandits or something. Top tier creature design.
15:00 Set up your base in Shem. No-one wants Shem. Only bandits are Starving boys and Dust Bindits. Also lots of little puddles at Shem. Great for, say, a moat.
I don't think that any other game today tell such epic stories as Kenshi does. Maybe Dwarf fortress can rival it, but this is where the list ends. As you said, your story is only one in hundreds of other stories Kenshi can tell, but it is yours ,and what fabulous story it is!
This was amazing. I have never seen a full playthrough of the game before and I don't think there could have been a better video to experience it. Thanks
Thanks for making these videos. The amount of joy it brings me to get off work and watch you play kenshi, whilst explaining it in a brief summary really makes my day
This is the video essay, I’m saying it now! Everyone should see this video atleast once even if they don’t understand video games they could understand the story you tell!
Through sheer force of will and with the help of Cyber Beep you became preoccupied with whether or not you could destroy the ruling evils of the world, but you didn't stop to think whether you should… [cue dramatic music] (I am 1 hour 30 minutes into your video and you are headed to the Ashlands, yet you are now realizing the fog men are multiplying at an unstoppable rate and beginning to spread across Kenshi like a malignant blight… This has been fantastic! THANK YOU for making this movie!)
My tip for the beginning is to avoid any area that spawns wildlife and favor parts of the works where enemies use blunt weapons, it will allow you to train your toughness and various combat skills quickly. Also becoming a slave is a quick way to train toughness, workspeed and lockpicking by repeatedly trying to break out.
I almost never sit through an almost 2 hour video, especially of a game I've never played but this was the exception. Seriously amazing stuff, much LOVE.
Great video. If you are partial to dynamic 4X and RTS style games, I would highly recommend the X series of games. It has the same kind of world dynamics as Kenshi but is a sci-fi economy and combat sim series (X4: Foundations is the latest title). You can get up to all kinds of funny shenanigans.
Hands down the best Kenshi playthrough I've watched. I wish I could have a half decent computer to play it. Thank you again for such a good video, for your great art, and for damn fine cuisine recipes and tips
I really loved Kenshi. I usually just have someone train stealth, thievery, and lockpicking. It may be hard, but you actually can steal from the Armor King. I also liked to visit the skeleton shop outside of Black Desert city, where I can "buy" some high grade weapons.
This actually really opened me up to watching this series. I knew its 2 or 3 longform episodes in the last one, so I was putting off watching it. Glad I can start from the new beginning
I like starting out as a thief in a town with a jail. If you goof up and get caught, they'll patch you up and keep you from starving, and you get a big opportunity to practice lock picking. This game rewards cunning
I've just finished watching. Thank you for sharing this to everyone. This truly is a testament as to how stories can be made in Kenshi with just a little bit of imagination and a whole lot of fun.
new guy watching, i actually really fucking like the cooking segments. theyre not rushed like hello fresh sponsors and its actually really chill with the music
There's something about this video that fills me with tons of emotions and i am very close to crying because of it, this story is worthy of a nine book saga.
Nice viper reference charl. I used to have a friend who was like a 6'6'' 300+ lb ogre of a man who loved psychotically trolling people, so he has trolled Viper and his baby momma for years to the point where there would be steaming facebook posts about him. He was also paradoxically one of the most introspective and sensitive men I have ever met, the duality of man. Not really relevant to the video but I thought I would share.
What I love about Kenshi is you can create your own story. You can tell your story on UA-cam or to your friends and it's actually interesting, you could create a movie with YOUR own story, you can do whatever you want and the mods let you do even more. It's probably my favorite game, I love Kenshi
u got my subscription. I love things like this. Games like kenshi that allow you to write the narrative for your character and then having a veery creative youtuber with a penchant for decent jokes you end up with a great video....keep em coming,
This is by far one of the best videos I have seen on UA-cam! I have wanted to play kenshi for a while but don’t want to get completely enthralled in to a new game before my a levels. You have created a video to rival the story telling of movies and I’m so happy that I can experience the game through this medium. You have thanked us for watching but I’m sure we all owe you a thank you for the masterpiece that you have made. Like you said this is art! And better yet this was the first video of yours I got to watch whilst randomly looking for a longer video to listen to while cooking😂😂 Thanks again I hope youtube goes well.
I thought I was hallucinating when I saw the thumbnail, the fact that you finished this series and in such masterful fashion is incredible. I commend you sir, and thank you for putting this art out into the world.
Never seen your channel before, never seen or even heard of Kenshi before but this was amazing, the game seems great and I loved the script you wrote as it explored the story of kenshi while creating your own story within the game or through the game.
I have seen a lot of Kenshi videos, a lot of series and I have to say that this one is the best one of all of them, truly great work my men! I hope we can get a this kinds of experience in Kenshi 2
Guys, I'm not in an actual lockdown. It was a reference to how the first Kenshi video which came out when lockdown was happening and I binged 100+hours of it. Enough with the weird conspiracy stuff.

The game so immersive I now refuse to eat anything that is not in cube form.
Itz true.
Embrace the food cube
Cubeburger
the only other game you can play is starfield now
Spongy foodstuff molded into a slate-hued cube of perfect proportions. What forces married the messiness of eating with the precision of cubes?
This is now the undisputed cannon lore of Kenshi for me. Sure beats most of the stories I have had in the game.
You just go in and die alot, become a involuntarily miner/prisoner or eaten?
yes...wait...shouldnt it be the 4th empire? since the united cities was the 3rd?
My Kenshi story just boils down to
Bandits: "I'm eating your dog"
Me pressing quickload: "Like Hell"
This is gonna make me play kenshi for another 200 hours for sure
Reinstalling rn too

I like the idea that Agnu telling Beep that they're a female was a joke and that in your world, Agnu becoming the 'empress' is a long-running gag
I like it when your party is traveling, and Agnu and Beep tell each other a joke consisting only of growls, howls and beeps, and then they both start laughing so uncontrollably they just stop wherever they are and you literally can't control them for a few moments =]
I remember when i release Agnu when beep i my team, agnu afraid and run away from thrall, beep talk "don't afraid I'm here"
20 years after the events of the video:
Agnu: "RAAAAAGH!" (You know, Beep, I was just kidding when I said I was a female. Skeletons do not have genders, unless they were once human, and such human mind-transplants are exceedingly rare. We merely use human gendered pronouns for convenience.)
Beep: "Yes, I know. Still, you being the 'empress' confuses the hell out of everyone else. Did you see the look on that mercenary's face the other day when they realized YOU, a mechanized soldier built to be a harbinger of death, was the so-called 'empress?"
Agnu: "AAAAAHHHH!" ( *Laughs to himself* He looked half puzzled, half disgusted. I think he thought we had actually tried to mate at some point. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Hivers do not appear to even have genitalia, and Skeletons do not, either.)

Agnu: "AghhhhhHAAAAA?!" (HA! The Dickless! Anyways, that Clunknad Spanner or whatever his name was, the self-proclaimed Skeleton Wizard that has more in common with a mechanic or a programmer than an actual wizard, has figured out how to repair my voice synthesis module. About damn time.)
Beep: "Imagine the first time you speak to one of our subjects. I hope, for comedy's sake, your voice module is capable of a very deep voice."
Agnu: "RHAAAAAGHHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

@@teecee1827 first game i heard where becoming a slave is a good starting strat xD
been hyped for this one since your first video on Kenshi came out - appreciate all the work that went into this!
such a great video! Ending sounds a lot like black company books, and it is cool :)
and ending monologue about art is great!
this was an amazing experience in every sense i can think of, thanks for the ride
I like how Rich, Mike and Jay is on a quest fo conquering slaver cities instead of fixing VCR and reviewing movies :D
Gotta go something before the VCR is invented.
I almost never sit through an almost 2 hour video, especially of a game I've never played but this was the exception. Seriously amazing stuff, much LOVE.
That's gotta be the first time I'm seeing anybody actually playing Kenshi in a... normal way...
Good video, funny story and pretty well written characters so it was an enjoyable experience.
Great video.
If you are partial to dynamic 4X and RTS style games, I would highly recommend the X series of games. It has the same kind of world dynamics as Kenshi but is a sci-fi economy and combat sim series (X4: Foundations is the latest title). You can get up to all kinds of funny shenanigans.
Ive recently found Kenshi and you sir do it justice with your storytelling. Great job and We Love Kenshi :)
Hands down the best Kenshi playthrough I've watched.
I wish I could have a half decent computer to play it.
Thank you again for such a good video, for your great art, and for damn fine cuisine recipes and tips
i love the fact you have a cooking section, i actually completely forgot it was a kenshi video
I really loved Kenshi. I usually just have someone train stealth, thievery, and lockpicking. It may be hard, but you actually can steal from the Armor King. I also liked to visit the skeleton shop outside of Black Desert city, where I can "buy" some high grade weapons.
Hell yeah for the lasoongle boongle segment. Also for being from the midwest! Instant subscribe. Love the video!
Oh damn it... THere goes another 300 hours put into Kenshi.
I hate that I love it, and I love that I hate it
My mind was blown, came for some kenshi knowledge went out with cooking recipes!! PLEASE keep doing more gameplay with cooking recipes...!!
Omfg, he's made another kenshi video!
Lesgooo beep
Every Kenshi playthough is an epic tale that writes itself. I love this game that i've never even played for all the amazing stories it helps create
wait....shouldnt it be the 4th empire? since the united cities was the 3rd?
in any case, all hail EMPEROR CYBERBEEP!
This actually really opened me up to watching this series. I knew its 2 or 3 longform episodes in the last one, so I was putting off watching it. Glad I can start from the new beginning
This is Beep's world, we are just living in it
I like starting out as a thief in a town with a jail. If you goof up and get caught, they'll patch you up and keep you from starving, and you get a big opportunity to practice lock picking. This game rewards cunning
Know it's serious when the "Beep" in the title has an uppercase B.
Never watched your content before, love the cooking segment. Also I watched the entire video and was fully 100000% entertained. Good job.
Why is he still in lockdown?
Dope. I’ve been waiting for a good video on Kenshi, Little One
Do it for Beep Beep 2.0!
Hell yeah, I've been waiting for this. you got me into Kenshi and now I got 1000 hours.
Metal Beep Rising: Revengeance
Great video. the cooking session made me subscribe. What a cool thing to throw into your videos.
Lets mine some Copper Ore baby
Can't believe I slept on this video for as long as I did. Now I wanna binge all of your past stuff in a row too, you charming bastard.
I've just finished watching. Thank you for sharing this to everyone. This truly is a testament as to how stories can be made in Kenshi with just a little bit of imagination and a whole lot of fun.
I like that the cooking segments are in ur gaming vids, it makes this channel unique.
Been looking forward to this vid for years. one of the first vid that brought me to your channel. happy it did, cheers!
though, this was an incredible journey, you should be incredibly proud of your work
awesome video, had me hooked the entire way through and loved the cooking section
Pro tip: if you're in a midwest state with an Imo's, they'll sell blocks of Provalone.
i did not expect a Kenshi video to have a cooking segment, a welcome surprise
This video was already solid but holy hek the cooking segment sold me. 10/10 video.
new guy watching, i actually really fucking like the cooking segments. theyre not rushed like hello fresh sponsors and its actually really chill with the music
There's something about this video that fills me with tons of emotions and i am very close to crying because of it, this story is worthy of a nine book saga.
I am thoroughly impressed and intrigued with your content, thank you for making it.
Nice viper reference charl. I used to have a friend who was like a 6'6'' 300+ lb ogre of a man who loved psychotically trolling people, so he has trolled Viper and his baby momma for years to the point where there would be steaming facebook posts about him. He was also paradoxically one of the most introspective and sensitive men I have ever met, the duality of man. Not really relevant to the video but I thought I would share.
Fantastic story and video, super worth the comment for the algorithm!
Also, loved the chunky boy at the ending
Bruh, this was amazing. Thank you for your hard work sir.
Watched and liked 🧡
What I love about Kenshi is you can create your own story. You can tell your story on UA-cam or to your friends and it's actually interesting, you could create a movie with YOUR own story, you can do whatever you want and the mods let you do even more. It's probably my favorite game, I love Kenshi
Didn't expect the food tutorial. I am an italian and you did well. Earned a sub. Came for kenshi, now I am stuck here for the food
u got my subscription. I love things like this. Games like kenshi that allow you to write the narrative for your character and then having a veery creative youtuber with a penchant for decent jokes you end up with a great video....keep em coming,
This is by far one of the best videos I have seen on UA-cam! I have wanted to play kenshi for a while but don’t want to get completely enthralled in to a new game before my a levels. You have created a video to rival the story telling of movies and I’m so happy that I can experience the game through this medium. You have thanked us for watching but I’m sure we all owe you a thank you for the masterpiece that you have made. Like you said this is art!
And better yet this was the first video of yours I got to watch whilst randomly looking for a longer video to listen to while cooking😂😂
Thanks again I hope youtube goes well.
“Recently I’ve been playing a lot of Kenshi”. Glad to see another video dude
I thought I was hallucinating when I saw the thumbnail, the fact that you finished this series and in such masterful fashion is incredible. I commend you sir, and thank you for putting this art out into the world.
Engagement for the algorithm gods. Thank you for the kenshi video, been a long while coming
Never seen your channel before, never seen or even heard of Kenshi before but this was amazing, the game seems great and I loved the script you wrote as it explored the story of kenshi while creating your own story within the game or through the game.
I was going to subscribe when the video ended but then knowing that you often do the cooking segments made me do it right then and there
As a newbie Kenshi player and 2500+ Hr Rimworld diehard, this video was absolutely fantastic and has me so excited to keep playing.
A video on a great game and it has a cooking segment? This channel is great.
I have seen a lot of Kenshi videos, a lot of series and I have to say that this one is the best one of all of them, truly great work my men! I hope we can get a this kinds of experience in Kenshi 2
