Been on Kenshi quite a bit lately. I've put together a posse of freed slaves who go and free other slaves and kill nobles
I tried to play this years ago and couldn't get into it, it was very confusing to me but seemed like something I would typically like
yea i first started it in '22 and gave up after 2 hours, recently saw some vids on YT about it and felt the urge to try again, now I'm 100+ hours deep haha
I'll have to watch some videos and try again
i've read about it before and it sounds both goated and incredibly overwhelming
like, it seems like you can just be dealt a bad situation and mcfucking die within minutes
kenshi really isn't like that (i mean, it definitely is, i've had several playthroughs fail because my sole character died immediately to a goat or a beak thing lol)
but it's more forgiving than you'd think - if your character gets beaten in a fight, 9 times out of 10 you're just unconscious and will wake up eventually and live to fight another day - that's kinda the whole point. the toughness skill is levelled up specifically by being beaten up, heh.
in any case, when you start a playthrough you can adjust some difficulty sliders, like reducing the chance to die
survival pro tip: recruit at least another member to your party asap - this immediately gives you the option to apply first aid to a downed character and reduce the chance they bleed out or something
That's what happened to me and it happened so fast I didn't feel like I could figure out what to do differently. I should watch some videos and try it again, I've heard it is great
