No one will care about that in 2031.

Kenshi - open-ended sandbox RPG set in a desert world

This sucks. Many of us won't live long enough to see Kenshi 2. An updated Kenshi 1 would be a bird in the hand, at least.
Just accidentally stumbled upon this title. Why is it not famous as, say, Underrail? Also it seems that I have a perverted attraction to games that spend decade in the making.

The second one.

If you want, I can make an end credits sequence to look at after you kill 200 Beak Things.

Although there is no plot, or any other sort of structure, that would provide Kenshi with a conventional CRPG ending, if you explore thoroughly and pay attention to the lore, there is a particular encounter that can serve as the climax of the game, as well as a denouement of sorts for
Cat-Lon, the leader of the long-defunct Second Empire and a major figure in the history of Kenshi's setting.

It's a singleplayer sandbox. A fucking GREAT one at that, it's amazingly fun when you get into it.
At the same time, if you're a player who likes being told what to do / is not a fan of exploration (nothing wrong with that, just personal taste) I don't think you'll find getting into it easy.
Anyone have an essential mod list for a first time player?
EDIT: How is this?

You should need only a few mods for Kenshi, e.g. a better map (there are several possibilities), Let's Talk (more comments from squad members), Reactive World (more world-state changes).
I think I only added a prisoner mod so I could lock people up whose political views I differed with. The game is very playable vanilla imo.

Any cool mods that have come out recently? I might try my hand at a Codexian LP at some point, but Kenshi needs a bit of novelty.

still on the fence: how far is kenshi 2? 15 years or is it a tangible project?

The developer is a 1-man studio, isn't it? I wouldn't expect that a completed sequel is just around the corner.

To my knowledge, he started as a 1-man studio, but then as he got money through early access, was able to hire a small team to work with him.
I'd expect it to take a long time, but not nearly as long as the first game.
If it's something you're interested in, check it out and refund it in 2 hours if you don't like it. It's a long start in the beginning though.

If you're thinking of waiting for the sequel rather than purchasing the original, I expect it's a few years away, and the original deserves support for its interesting systems and setting. Kenshi, for all its flaws, is probably one of the two best games released in 2018. Unless you're one of those bizarre people who profess to enjoy CRPGs while being uninterested in exploration, you'll appreciate Kenshi.

They're changing the engine to Unreal for Kenshi 2, so that's gonna take a long while - learning how to work with a new engine takes time.
