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

[Jinn]

looks like gothic, even the jank looks the same, but bigger world and more free world.
i am scared rn

It is nothing like Gothic. It is, however, an awesome game. Just know that there isn't a main questline or anything. You make your own story in this game.

And believe me you do right about getting scared plenty of stuff to be scared about.

so like open world survival game, but more open, and real RPG progression? are there quests in the classical sense? or an end game of some sort?

Yes

are there quests in the classical sense?

No, no quests. As far as I know.

or an end game of some sort?

Also no. Endgame is when you've established yourself firmly in the world and no one can ever fuck with you again, as far as I understand it.

If you're looking for a classic CRPG experience, this is not the game for you. If you're looking for an amazing world to explore, an excellent atmosphere, fun and rewarding character progression, survival and base building, cutting off people's limbs and watching them desperately try to crawl away as your mercenaries give them the final blow, this is a game you're looking for. In some ways I wish it could be both, but really it works well in its current form. It's a unique game for that very reason.

There are bounty hunter contracts you could take.. THat is similiar to questing but you won't have a quest marker and they will give you the last seen location. It will or will be not be there the target nothing is granted in this game.

 

[HoboForEternity]

interesting. it's a novelty enough that i want to try it regardless. thanks

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

Try it is worth it. This game is based on "Show! Don't tell!" yes you can talk with npcs too but there is a lot of hidden lore all around the place and the game is dynamic things move and evolve so each time you play it is different.

[Turjan]

Yeah...

Spoiler

Time to replace my still installed version from the Triassic Age, I guess.

It's amazing that this got finished.

Zombra do ypu have a question or something? I don’t understand your rating.

I use

as an "Oh my, that is shocking/surprising" when

is inappropriate due to its negative "wtf am I reading mustawd. are you stupid or something" attitude. I was as surprised as you to learn the volume of reviews compared to PoE2's.

Is something wrong with the resolution setting? I pick my normal 1080p setting but it starts with really low resolution and even the aspect ratio seems wrong.

I vaguely remember having to mess around with settings in an unexpected way to get it looking sexy, it's not just you. It was months ago; I don't remember exactly what I did.

 

[lightbane]

So, this is Mount and Blade meets Dark Sun?

Seems to be weird bug with some Nvidia drivers or something like that, borderless fixes the issue. And now I'm a slave to some slaver faction.

Only took a decade.

Sounds like it couldn't get much better, if it works.

Started a new game with the 1.0 release, installed some mods I wanted to try so I hope nothing explodes.

Spoiler

Couple of brothers in a Holy Kingdom concentration camp, the older on the right was the most able of the duo but ended up dying due to wounds after the scape, now the younger is alone.

So alongside with Grimoire, Kenshi is out of the vaporware race. Now we have Project Zomboid in the pole position, followed by Scam Citzen as a distant second. Who is going to be the winner?

 

[Deleted Member 22431]

I just bought my own shack! It's crumbling, doesn't have a door and is located in the thief's city, but it's mine. How cool is that?

[Emmanuel2]

Did you mean Bannerlord?

I thought Warband was a complete game.

 

[HoboForEternity]
