I played for a few hours, was a robot. Built a shack near town, lured the eventual bandits towards the bar and let them deal with the fighting. But got badly hurt and repairing myself was expensive and there was nothing to do in the world but mine and kill bandits so I uninstalled

I've tried it several times, got about 60 hours of it. Had my fun but it's not a terribly interesting game. Looking forward to the second game when it comes out sometime after the second coming of Christ.

I don't have high hopes for Kenshi 2
first they decided to make it in Unreal Engine 4, then abruptly they switched to 5
Chris flip flops between tasks and positions(first as director then back to orogrammer), hires literal unicycle street performer off the street with zero coding experience to work on his game(it is on their website)
not much to say about sister (brother) as a writer, time will tell
2-3 screenshots and 1 blue sky account
that's all the news they have about Kenshi 2

>>3934990
I worry if it'll even come out at all. I feel like this'll be a situation where the game is never good enough for them and they piss away every last dollar they have and then close. From what little I've seen of the guy in interviews Chris seems like kind of a pussy so I have a hard time thinking he can direct a team.

First kenshi took a decade to finish, I don't see why it would be any different for the second

Kenshi is a cool game but it'd be a lot cooler if it didn't have to load every 5 seconds

Kenshi was lightning in a bottle and I don't think the devs for kenshi 2 understand what made people like it. For that reason I'll stick to the first and live in the past, like a proper loyal skeleton.

>>3935200
describe the lightning anon

Lot of interesting mods have come out for it recently.

>>3935348
Of course, but first describe your favourite game.

>>3937889
That's random, but ok.
I don't have one, I just like open world rpgs like Morrowind, isometric ones ala Avernum and lots of metroidvanias like la mulana, Zexion, super junkoid, mio etc
I like them because theyre good.

>>3937888
Which ones? I know I've seen that star wars overhaul around more lately so I assume it got an update.

>>3934576
>Hopes for kenshi 2?
I have none. I don't think Chris has any clue what he's doing.

My friend just showed me this, has anyone fucked around with it yet?

I want to try it, but the fact it has Claude listed as a contributor mixed with anything involving networking gives me cold feet.

I got filtered hard by it. It was a literal sandbox with no direction. As a result I really struggled with it. Lack of an endgame really makes it hard to revisit. I enjoy a good sandbox but Kenshi has no structure the way you play never feels right or wrong just empty. Meanwhile Rimworld I don't have this problem with.

>>3938422
There's a few new ones using Re-Kenshi. One for way more inventory slots for fashion and another that lets you smoke hashish.

>>3939126
Cat-lon is basically the final boss. Kinda. He fills that narrative and mechanical niche.

>>3939126
Rimworld forces events upon you whether you want them or not, Kenshi doesnt. If you just never leave a settlement nothing will happen.

>>3939168
Even if I explore the world as the game has no structure what the hell am I supposed to do. Everyones answer in Kenshi is normally to just become a murder-hobo and thats boring after the first time.

I will start playing it only to get a qt scorchlander gf

Surely cant be that hard? My only rpg experience is morrowind

My favorite start is two bugmen, a prince and a worker who I imagined were exiled from their hive and captured by the holy nation. The worker is like the princes valet. Spending every night stealing bread, grinding running till you can make a run for it, and for whatever reason it’s always the worker who escapes first while the guards catch the prince, so later he has to break back into the slaver compound to rescue his master. The rest of the game is the standard steal everything and run around with bags full of rocks to train, and there is no real reason to do that again for 40 hours.

>>3939126
same, got around 2K hours on the rim and 1/10th that on kenshi
I like to describe Kenshi as a sandbox with no sand
Even modders can't completely save it due to limitations

>>3939043
>C++
>LLM generated
I wouldn't.
>With C it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot, with C++ it's a lot harder, but you blow your whole leg off

I have too many people on my team thanks to my addiction for freeing prisoners

Where can I take them so the unworthy will be culled

>>3941413
Gut will kill your dudes and also put them to use hauling beak thing eggs

Maybe take a trip to leviathan coast fro the science and let the cannibals weed them out on the way there
