Is this game worth it? It looks so fucking unpolished. Do mods save it?

It is and if someone doesn't think so it's because they're a massive pleb who has been succesfully filtered.

the game is buggy, unpolished and ugly. but that just adds to the aesthetic, it's also fairly complex and thus tickles my autism boner.
>is it worth it?
yes

It is quite polished, but development stopped at the exact point it would start feeling like a video game. There are many cities and areas to go, but not much to do in them besides fighting different enemies and seeing the sights.
The aversion for having quests or any sort of objective is almost autistic. It goes so far that one of the few unique dialogues in the game is a sham quest to mock the characters/player.
I can't recall ever being given a goal or a job by any npc. The sandbox gameplay feels like a procedurally generated survival game, which it absolutely isn't. The regions are beautiful, numerous and interesting.
You can have a bit of fun with it, much more if you manage to roleplay a bit. I rp'd as a solo ninja dude, after wandering the world and getting mad skills, recruited people and pretend my new base was a sort of monastery

I'm at a point in the game where the only thing that really fucks me, that have encountered and attempted to fight, are mechanical spiders and big bad robots.
I also hired mercenaries at some point for a 30k bounty but I think now I could do it on my own.
Also anyone managed to take down a Leviathan?

What the fuck is this guy's problem?

he just wants some gooooooo

It's alright but starting out is practically unfair until you grind some skills up. Once you get your own settlement built and stable things get boring after researching everything.

FUCK SPIDERS

kek those fucking screaming faggots. I wasn't so lucky when I got into their territory; they killed two of my hivers, and had to leave them behind. I miss those ugly retards.
I've never fought a Leviathan, but then, I tend to play with small parties and try to stick to my autistic self-imposed rules. You probably need several squads to kill it anyway.

Now I'm playing as a generic JRPG party:
>the greenlander fighter (the hero). Katana only
>the greenlander healslut (the only one that can use first aid), she was also a former slave
>the shek female knight
>the scorchlander thief
>the weird skeleton
>the dog

Leviathan are easy to kill but take forever

Name one single superior civilization
Holy nation has an empire
Shek has nothing because they are a cross between the cartoon character Shrek and africans
United kingdoms can't even into roads
It's not even a competition

It's LARP heavy, there's no special abilities, no special tactics of any description. It's basically a persistent janky RTS. Basically it's not much of a game and I SHOULD hate it, but goddamn there's something oddly addictive about it.

How they have tiny cities surrounded by inhospitable desert.
Holy nation has farms and mines throughout its territory

It's one of my favorite games. It's not super polished but its one of the best worlds to explore in any game.

Looks like a game with lots of fun stuff to do.
But I just can't enjoy a game where you don't control your character directly, and instead order it and other units around and wait until they do stuff on their own.
I just don't find it fun, it destroys the immersion completely.
I can't grasp how people find it fun to play a game based on survival and exploration, but you're not on the shoes of the person that is surviving, and can instead go full godmode, looking at stuff from a birds eye view while time is stopped.

This. It's missing any real player involvement. The most complex thing you as the player can do in the game is build up a base and all crafts. Characters build up their stats over time from using doing related tasks, but never learn skills or special moves, even though you can wipe out towns and factions, there's no game mechanics that let you conquer territory and have that recognized by other in game factions. It's just a shell to project your imagination on to.

It's very good. Combat is extremely fucking fun. The only problem is the endgame is pretty lackluster.

Attached: tatooine.jpg (1920x1440, 311K)

>but never learn special moves
But they literally do

You're controlling a squad of people. There's a lot more to the game than survival and the RTS control scheme is better suited to that. The game simulates the whole world in real time and you can have party members on the complete opposite side doing different things at the same time. Generally I would agree with you but you should give it another shot.

>I just don't find it fun
You didn't actually give it a shot. Keeping your character alive while getting tougher and more badass is extremely satisfying.

The only thing that annoys me about this game is that you can't, as far as I'm aware, claim and rebuild ruined settlements. Even with mods

That complete sandbox environment and no explicit goals is the appeal of the game to me. But there actually are some quest like events in the game but they're not spelled out for you. One in particular that I remember was if you capture the bugmaster and give him to the leader of the sheks you'll become an ally and the shek princess will join your party. From that point on other characters and factions will comment on you being the killer of the bugmaster and will even let you join their factions because of it. Most of it is really subtle but there is a ton of story telling from dozens of unique recruits and things change depending on your race. I found stuff like that far more exciting and personal than some shitty arbitrary quest.

god damn this game is a skeleton. very strong calcium-boned skeleton, very good skeleton. But a skeleton nonetheless.

Are the jiggle physics from a mod?

Yes.

Mods vastly improve it, but as it stands by itself, it's fucking incredible. The only game I have with more hours logged in Warframe, and in retrospect, that was kinda shit. Kenshi is comfy and has a ton to do as long as you're ok with an RPG that has literally no quests. It's a sandbox in every imaginable way.

I also made one of the top 5 most popular mods for it

I don't like playing God that can magically look at and give orders to people on both sides. I'd much rather play a character that would at most give the orders before the other characters parted ways and hope the characters would be able to follow them.

Did Sseth save the game from irrelevance?

This is what happens with huge game like this and why they are only undertaken by small indie studios or just single mad men. Kenshi has a lot of modders working on unfinished content, so there's that to look forward to. And who knows what Kenshi 2 will bring and how that will improve the current game. I don't think Lo-Fi would drop Kenshi's engine if they didn't know they had something much better to work with in the new engine.

good goy

Gonna be real, with kenshi2 in the works the 14? years of waiting for this game is totally moot now. It was fun as fuck in its even more wonko days where things just kinda sorta worked but now its eh.

Tech hunters exist to cover up the atrocities of the skelies.
HN is completely justified in killing skelies.

yeah, there's actually a lot of stuff going on. Finding out about Moll blew my mind, in fact I made one of my female Shek leave the main party to go look for Moll by herself in one of my playthroughs just for fun.

It is unpolished. You also have to LARP heavy and not give in to exploits or the fun will go away. Mods adds in features, most of them are like exploits in itself but some are genuinely good, fun mods.
It's sort of like a singleplayer MMO, but if you can limit yourself, set some goals and love exploration, then you may enjoy this game as I did.

Nice. My martial artist guy is a limp wristed faggot who always gets wrecked.
Yes. I think there's a mod that adds a Plank that looks like a dragonslayer, even.

Even the fucking exploits make sense, though.

It kind of gave me the same otherworldly feeling of exploring Morrowind. Other games have a familiar setting, but not Kenshi and Morrowind.

Kenshi was so good that i actually bought it so i can get some mods from steam.

I do but as I said before I usually play with small squads. It looks ugly as fuck without shadows inside buildings.
The compressed textures mod helps a lot in places with dense vegetation such as the Spider Plains, though.

Its jank as fuck, like, really jank, you will either love it or hate it for its jank, no other game is as ambitious as it is and it is, frankly, sad. Definately one of the best games to come out in the last decade, or one of the worst, depends what kind of games your into. If you liked Mount and Blades goal-less system where it just drops you into the world and you decide what to do you might like it, theres a demo on their website.

I was initially turned off by how janky this game looked, put 250+ hours into once I decided to give it a shot.

I installed some mods that make nights dark as fuck and they become pretty useful

This is what happens when you let autists make games. Every single autist who is good at making games is just a carbon copy of toadyone; they'll never get anything done and their game will end up worse over time from overwork on nonsense details that aren't ever going to be seen by anyone.

The developers of Kerbal Space Program are doing the same thing. The game is actually complete, but can always use more content and now they're like "oh hey, KSP 2, pay up nigger"

>diversity is our strength
Yeah I don't think so shit lib, enjoy prayer day

it makes sense for KSP imo and I've never even played KSP. I just don't believe in the kenshi devs desu.

That thing is not fun though, it runs as fast as a max athletics character, hits like a truck on steroids with massive AoE and as fast as a fully decked character, i didn't bother to try but i guess the only way to kill it is massive amounts of crossbows and some poor meatshields or luring it to a bunch of harpoons

Dude he's been making this game for like 10 years. The engine is probably completely fucked under the hood and it would probably be quicker to rebuild it for added new features. Also might have just been out of money by the end and is using the boost of release to fund the next game, instead of just added more features, which would probably have pretty low returns in terms of increasing sales compared to a sequel.

I bought it and have major regret. It really does feel like a desolate MMO there are effectively zero quests and only a hanful of characters with meaningful dialogue. The way you level is unintuitive, boring, and gamey as fuck.

Art direction is great, but the game itself is WAY oversold to people - only those with intense autism could ever enjoy this grindy mess.

I wish I was autistic enough to RP in this. I just run around for an hour then get bored and delete.

It's fun. Good game.
Remember that the chad way to play all RPGs is SOLO. No other party members, just one main character.
Also crossbows are super duper overpowered in late game.

literally everybody tells you its a sandbox game, if you can't roleplay then its really not for you, you have to make your own goals to have fun otherwise its empty as shit

for example i made it my goal to capture every leader and important character only with my main character and nail them alive to a cross in my fort, and it was really fun, but its a self imposed goal

the real chad way is no save scumming and perma-death

Nah it's shit - your giving it credit for your imagination's work.

The original Mount & Blade is a sandbox released a decade prior and it did everything far better. Actually fun combat (not gimping AI and pretending it's a strategy), some generic recurring quests to give some structure/motivation to explore, and nations/Lords that actually interact with each other - not just endlessly spawning mobs.

this kind of clutch in-game emergant easily roleplayed gameplay is all this game really has going for it( but man does it have it going FOR it.

I also think a lot of the systems are fun and its extremely "comfy" in a way that reminds me of morrowind and personally find the bits of lore really dope but I'm not gonna pretend thats a useful critique to rope others into playing.

theres no way that you got a single character that high in stats playing normally(not autistically abusing a little slave bandit you've gimped for fucking in-game years to grind up combats), vanilla, on the default limb loss settings without losing a limb. Now if you said ONE of your characters out of the MANY that you have recruited reached that level without losing a limb, I'd believe.

Shek are legitimately ape-like battle obsessed retards that would destroy the world if given the chance, the hives are retarded bio-mechanical weapons, the skeletons are too depressed, and literally only the humies actually get shit done.

If the UC evolves out of their retarded fragmented feudal class system they would be the best hope, but as it stands the homogenous and singularly driven holy nation has the best chance at present even better if they evolve some romanesque synthesis and integration of the cities they take rather than just burning and enslaving as they do.

mercenaries are cheap for guarding your outpost for a reason

>or you're not looking for mods in the right places
He isn't. Steam workshop stuff is being uploaded elsewhere.

>swimming

why would anyone grind this useless stat

to swim well

I didn't grind it, it just went up way fucking high when I went to go visit the armour king every so often.

To gain insane muscle definition.

i killed a leviathan at flats lagoon, it was stick between two small hills, didn't get to loot it though as 2 squads of those bat things started head over

hobobs

those fucking bat things
>exploring Flats Lagoon, ready to pillage the ancient lab
>it gets late, my guys are kind of fucked up after some Beak Things
>dark as fuck, but I come across the abandoned settlement
>get everyone inside a house, even the fucking dog until dawn to recover
>one of my guys keeps guard outside cooking some shit at a camp fire because running out of food
>he seems to enter combat but I can't see shit, keep cooking dried meat
>suddenly get swarmed by at least six albino fuckers
>my dude tries to hopelessly fight them back and lure them away from the camp, but they still get him
it was the most despair-inducing shit i had faced yet and I couldn't save him because everyone else was recovering, those bats are some serious spooky shit

my second play through ended because of them, i was looting the drug facility and i spotted them from afar thinking they weren't a threat since they move slow as fuck, boy was i wrong as wave after wave of them keep coming.

To get your swimming that high all you need to do is use the river where the armor king lives to travel
like seriously, one trip and your swimming will be 75+

Hop on a skin peeler, they start removing limbs first. For extra points get captured by skin bandits for real, and fight your way out while missing limbs

>cant control which limb it gibbs first
not a solution

There is alot in the game, but none of it has any depth.

Why does it matter? Replace all 4 limbs, flesh is useless

Your body may become stronger but your mind is weak.

Happy prayer day!
Do you have your holy flame with you, brother?

Weren't they going to update the garbage engine? Any news on that?

Pretty much. If you like to explore a huge world with interesting shit scattered around then you'll have a good time but once you reach that one thing you've been looking forward to reaching you'll probably drop it.

Embrace the janks

coming in kenshi 2.0
kenshi 1.0 will get 0 updates; its done

also where the fuck do i go to train with 60-ish attack/defense?

cannibals or fogmen

How the fuck is the combat fun, you stand there and wait for the animations to play out.

If you ain't skelly you ain't friendly

What do you think video games are?

I played a few different runs with different goals and the game is really fun in the first 10-15 hours of each run when you are barely surviving.After you get your respected weapon choice level 40+ it just becomes a boring chore to run around try to find bosses to kill. Base making isn't really all that fun and you can't actually eradicate a group or nation which makes the game feel pointless.

The combat it really fucking you you dummy if you play the game more than a few hours. Chopping 3 arms with a single swing of a weapon is fun as shit. Martial arts is OP as fuck too as soon as you reach 50+ level on MA you literally one shit every human enemy.

I found two specialist crossbows in the very early game and have two hiver crossbow specialists handling those while my main character is jumping around punching samurais and cannibals in the dick, also the second dude I recruited was a horrible cheap hiver with base stats but he became so good with sabers he can solo 50 fogmen without taking a single hit.
The one tho g I'm not rally sure about so far is armor, I have my heavy weapon gui in high grade samurai gear and the rest in light armor.

Putting dismember rate to max and seeing limbs fly everywhere when using a heavy weapon is fun.

It's one of the games that I enjoyed the most lately, I love starting as a slave, free 3 or 4 people and then trying to make a great escape, maybe only 1 or 2 make it and you have to avoid patrols, bandits, cannibals, etc. As many people have said, it's really fun if you like roleplaying.

Honestly I don't know which mods do I need to play correctly as it's cranky and bad optimized. Guys do u know of the essential mods to play? Thank you in advance.

Just check steam workshops most popular and most subscribed for a start.

It's a literal singleplayer MMORPG. If you're one of those fags who plays an MMO but doesn't socialize with others this is literally the game to play.

i remember someone incorporated a body of water into their base desgin and invaders with their poor swim stats were sitting ducks for range weapons

Is there a mod that lets you build moats?

i never looked deep into mods apart from breast slider and recruiting prisoners so i could get big tittied cannibals in my team

Where the titty sliders at user? Are they on loverslab?

The site is being shitty right now.
>Cloudflare time.

Oh shit, it's on steam but wasn't coming up on main search. You have to google it.

Cuck

it is unpolished because it's more or less a solo passion project of one madman
it's also the most innovative RPG I've played in years
