One my favorite and many many rimworld storys was the time my 3 person colony had two colonists fall in love and get engaged. Midway trough the engagement the guy lost his nose in a shootout and got the disfigured trait (-20 to relationships i think) This was bad because he was already ugly so the women started hating him. Shortly after he recovers from his wounds they got married. 3 hours later the bride gets in a social fight with him and because of her toxic fang emplants ends up bitting her husbands left arm off. She declares herself divorced right then and there and then like an hour later the 3rd colonist chats her up while hes mid way through stopping the bleeding and they become lovers right in front of him while hes still immobile due to the pain.

I'll never forget the savage wildwoman who showed up at my colony on my first game of RimWorld. She hung out in my meat locker for days before I figured out I could tame her. My Doctor was the only one with sufficient skill for the task, and in the process of taming her they fell in love. She ended up being amazing no only at melee combat, but also at working with plants and ended up being the backbone of my farming operation, and of course her and the doctor were married. Then a group of cannibal pirate raiders came, my small colony held them off as best we could, and this former wild woman was my front line, valiantly fighting to keep them from overrunning us, while the rest of my colonists fired from behind nearby cover. Many of my colonists were wounded, and she was almost dead. Her husband the doctor rushed her immediately back to the medical bay, and others grabbed the fallen artist and fallen crafter as well. The doctor tried to save his beautiful wife's life but sadly she passed away while he was working in her. He flew into a psychotic rage immediately and started smashing everything he saw, walking around in a daze just hitting things in the hospital while two other patients laid there in their medical beds. By the time he came out of his rage it was too late, all of the patients had died. These three colonists had been friends with so many people, and held important roles. Everyone's mood plummeted, psychotic breaks became common place. The harvest was not brought in. New things stopped being crafted. The electrical system broke down. Diseases went untreated. Livestock escaped. The whole colony went into a sad death spiral and it was beautiful. All because the doctor's wife was killed in front of him. At that point I was hooked and have sunk hundreds more hours into this game.

Ah Rimworld. the game I come back to on a regular basis. I think my favorite rimworld story would be when the colony grandma saved the day. All in all, the colony was in a good spot. Plentiful harvest, good hunting and a full store house, after the first winter nearly starved us out. Disaster struck as one colonist after the other fell ill, exept for the colony grandma ( because she was about 75 years old + some hundred spent in cryo on the way). Somehow she never got the disease and took care of the remaining 5 members that where ill. Luckylie she was a good medic and cook. Then the raiders came. With no one else able to fight, it was up to granny to take up arms. Together with the colonies golden retriever she set out to hold back them back. The first shots where lucky. 2 out of 5 raiders felled with a shot to the head. The third was mauled to death by the dog. Number 4 was slowed by a shot to the leg. The 5th Raider reached her. Somehow granny managed to knock out the raider... But she was left with severe stab wounds all over, practically crawling back to the base while the dog finished off the injured raiders. She collapsed at the gates, slowly bleeding out as the dog stayed with her in her last moments. The other colonists recovered and found her dead body, leaning against the door frame outside the base, with the sniper rifle still in hand. At least, thats how I invision that scene.

Hospitality quest popped up in the first year at the beginning of winter.. 3 pawns were seeking refuge for 14 days and they were willing to work for me for that time. I had just 2 guys, so it would more than double the number of my pawns, so I accepted and I was hoping to do as much work as possible. I got 82 yo guy and 88 yo lady, both completely useless. The guy was a decent shot but had cataract. The third refugee was a hyper sensitive nudist pyromaniac girl. So the whole two weeks were about calming those three down with fists when they were confusedly wandering around because of dementia or when the pyromaniac girl was setting things on fire because she was cold or clothed. After 12 horrible days the old lady died because of extreme infection in her torso, because she was wandering in confusion during a raid and got shot by a stray arrow. So I failed the task the the two remaining refugees left my colony. The pyromaniac girl didn't make it to the edge of the map because she collapsed because of hypothermia and died in a few hours and the old dude walked into a group of waiting pirates. It was a good event.

My favorite rimworld story- I helped a group of refugees. They left all well and good after a bit. A few in-game months later, a single transport pod crashed directly in the center of my colony, leaving behind a wounded woman. That woman was the leader of the refugees I had helped, meaning that she had ALMOST gotten off the planet, but something happened to her ship and she was the only survivor. She joined my colony and was skilled with guns. I gave her OK stuff, but nothing really great. A few months later again, we had a surprise infestation. They managed to down my main soldiers shockingly quickly and it was looking bad, until this refugee lady, her name was Hitomi, got in range. By some act of god, she alone with nothing but a normal-quality dragunov and a flat vest / helmet killed the entire infestation and saved the entire colony. No one died. She killed half a dozen mega spiders and the same number of the other bugs. She became a champion that saved everyone. By the end of the colony, she had the best gear; Cataphract armor, shields, jump packs, everything, all because she outdid everything she was asked and killed every damn spider she saw.

Now I have 2 people a fat pacifist researcher and a woman that hated men , they start dating and that help with the mood but not enough to stop the guy of having a corpse obsession and dig up his friend , the woman saw a naked dead man in the table and since she was starving she ate him and have a mental break and wanders outside and dies of toxic buildup and now I have 1 fat guy that is a pacifist, he survive for 2 days and them the nuclear winter goes away , first animal to wander the map in a hare that goes manhunting for no reason and spend 2 days running after the fat guy while I try to plant rice , the hare goes to sleep and my guy manage to survive somehow , just to get a infection and die of hunger 3 days later alone in a dark hole in the mountain since I had no wood to light a torch. after that I played 1.751 hours and as long there are mod I'm going to keep playing

What I wasn't ready for was my own pawns plotting against me. I had a married couple, both sociopaths, who hated everyone else but each other. This is fine I thought but how naive I was. They started an insult spree on my oldest pawn, an epic survivor who was the only guy left from the original landing. The wife started insulting first but the husband joined in to support her. My guy was insulted in stereo. He became depressed after that and soon after started an arson spree. I tried to stop him but it didn't work, everyone pitched in to snuff out the flames but died to the heat and smoke once the fire reach the stockpiles... Only my guy survived, with everyone dead. I was devastated. But the worst was yet to come... From the side two of my pawns appeared, back from the caves after a hard day breaking rocks. I was ecstatic that two pawns survived the fire by sheer luck but then...I noticed their names... THEY WERE THE SAME COUPLE WHO STARTED EVERYTHING. I GOT LEGITIMATELY MAD.

"It's a nightmare, you'll love it!" sums up Rimworld very well. As does "Dwarf Fortress with a GUI." One of my most memorable pawns was a woman who was part of a failed raid on my colony. The raiders broke through the wall and ended up trapped inside since we just flanked them through the hole they made. This pawn was left looking like Anakin after Ep. 3, and instead of the usual Rimworld thing, I decided to turn her into Adam Jensen and recruit her into the colony. She became a bionic supersoldier cracked out on Luciferium, an absolute demon.

My most recent weird momment was i sold my prized attack donkey Blaze. Blaze had survied multiple raids, infestiations and mechanoid swarms. I had bred many attack donkeys but blaze was differnt....blaze was stronger than all the others. She had scars over her body and legs, was missing an ear and a eye but she was still going strong. Come a bad plauge, phycic drone, mental breaks i was bad on cash. i NEEDED glitterworld medicene to save my most useful colonist and the only thing that i could sell to get enough of it was Blaze. I sold her off and expected are bond to end there never to see her again. 5 quadrums later i think i check the animal screen and what do i see? A untamed donkey named Blaze. I like to imagine she killed the colony she was sold too and walked back (Which is totally a blaze thing to do) i had no idea there was even a chance to see prevoiusly sold animals show up again but that was a trip.

Not en entire story but one of my favorite moments; Was playing a maximal difficulty setting, nothing else can challenge me in this game anymore, and there was a wedding on in this colony of about 30 folks. The colony was having a hard time, obviously, and so the wedding was a great mood booster for them... Until an attendee had a mental snap during the reception. The little descriptor on the character card for what they were doing at the moment was "Attending Wedding looking for Targets", when 29 other characters instantly whipped out their guns and drilled her full of a thousand holes. The rest of the wedding went off just fine and a great feast was had, with their friend shredded to hell laying in a pool of their own gore right there in the dining hall.

I'm new to romworld, only about 20 hours in. I did the tutorial and then decided to try a fresh game. I started with a family, Husband (doctor, cook) wife (animals and plants) and a daughter (mining, crafting and art). It was to be a simple life, the 3 of them happily landing together and surviving as a family. It started well, the built a cominal house with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, lounge and freezer. Got hunting, growing and mining. Life was good, for about a week. Then they were attacked by a band of 4 rabid Guinea pigs. The daughter was slane outright and the husband died in his wife's arms... She went into shock. Stoped farming, eating, even sleeping, she just stood there looking at the decaying corpses of her family, refusing to burry them, just standing there. Then a mysterious stranger showed up and ushered her to bed. He began cleaning up, feeding her, burying the dead and looking after the meager crops and lamas. 2 weeks go buy before she snaps out of it and stars helping again. Just in time to hear of a distress call, it's the newcomers mother. She's trapped by some cannibals. So the stranger rushes off to rescue her. He returns with his mother 3 days later and together the stranger and the woman tend to his mother. During this time the woman starts falling in love with the stranger but he's not interested and rebuffs her... She sinks into depression for a few days and then trys again. When he again refuses her advances she looses her mind and begins attacking his mother. So the stranger is forced to defend his mother and kills the woman with a single headshot but not before she mortally winds his mother. Now he's alone in the house, with the woman he saved and his mother buried out back with the others.... I'm not sure if he can go on much longer.

I was introduced to EVE through an article about some huge heist. That level of player agency really hooked me. I was an absolute bastard. I was overly nice, helpful, generous etc, hooking up with small to midsized corps. Made friends, cared about their day to day lives... until I was one of the trusted cornerstones of the Corp and, later, the alliance. Then I would bring in a bunch of alts and rob everyone fucking blind. I even managed to look like the victim in a few cases where the people I had swindled went out of their way to reimburse me for the stuff I, supposedly, lost. I did this over and over for five years. My fiancé final demand I chose between her and the game, so I sold my accounts for, well, an obscene amount. Then contacted the few people I felt guilty about cheating and gave them enough information about my old accounts to rob them blind too. I will never go back.

One thing I'd say you didn't go over was that there is DLC. Now, usually in a heavily modded game the DLCs kinda just pluck some of the most used mods. Not so here. Both of the DLCs have been pretty revolutionary and added content that would even make someone with 1k hours played wanting to put in another 1k. The multiplayer mod alone puts a lot of games with multiplayer to absolute shame.

3.5 thousand hours on this game and I haven't still reached the 'end game objectives'. Atleast in factorio i launched a rocket.. just once in that 5.4 thousand hours played.

“You wont forget the stories that you make in rim world.” *flackbacks to the colonist that I formed a bond with being burned alive and then executed by a raider* *flashbacks to one of my only human consists dying to friendly fire leaving their widow depressed and sad that they murdered their husband.* *flashbacks to running into countless issues about space leading to a ton of my colonists and guests dying to raids because their homes were outside the walls*

Will forever watch new Rimworld stories. Its one of the most perfect sandboxes ever created. Such a lovely video, cheers.

This was a very interesting way to do a review. I would like to see more like this as well as more RimWorld content from you as well.

[@bobthemudman5088]

I have never seen multiplayer mod for it but a colab between Mr Samuel Pete and Spiff would be an epic thing to see.

Rimworld is truly majestic. Here’s a comment in the hope that the algorithm blesses this video and introduces even more people to its majesty.

Rimworld, the only game where breaking the geneva convention is a vital part of playing.

You mean Geneva Suggestion.

I am quite spent on this joke. So far all I've done that's a warcrime is gunning down retreating people

[@swall185]

Lies and Slander! "Warcrimes" are a fundamental part of any well-balanced game!

[@WhichDoctor1]

@@AgentTasmania Are you really telling me you've never cut both legs of a prisoner to stop them going berserk from drug withdrawal? Or butchered the bodies of your enemies, made clothes out of their skin and then sold those clothes to their former comrades after making peace with them? If so you're really not thinking creatively enough 😂
