Let's Roleplay Kenshi | Ep 2 "On The Run"

[@ryconroleplays]

Some folks will notice a missing video layer in this episode. Namely the title and the patrons. Sorry about that legion, had a few issues that meant exporting over and over again it this made it past me before upload. Been wrestling Kenshi with my recording software and will be trying other options in the future.

[@zerodawn8554]

Right click is your friend when it comes to transferring items. SHIFT + *any task* assigns a permanent job that you can rearrange or cancel out. Assign Sand or Park to be a medic / rescue. Finally, look at some prices , the bull back pack was worth like 1K. Love your series, hope these tips help if you see them. Shift + right click also sells a stack or transfer stack , right click transfers /sells 1 Tilt key - select all members Tab - switch squad 1 - 0 select individual members

@@zerodawn8554 @Rycon Roleplays is roleplaying so he doesnt pick items by the price, he only needed food. Now we will have to wait until Sand and Park decides what job to do in their new life as free people.

“Stacking up items and trying not to make any noise” are by far the best lore friendly explanations on kenshi’s thievery I’ve heard.

[@bloodmime]

I've been rewatching this series while I play Kenshi myself, and having Sand walk right past where you're asking him to sleep is so relatable.

[@jonathanlau3961]

I loved the moment where you opened Park's backpack to pass Sand some food, only to find that it was empty. "....Did-did you eat all the food, Park?"

[@erwins_arm]

Food is shared through backpacks

[@nvfury13]

“I just put food in it almost two days ago!”

[@ancapftw9113]

The Shek slaves in rebirth were actually well fed, even though Shek need more food. The fact that you were starving makes me think that you were being punished for disobedience.

[@aFewBitsShort]

Your hunger level can't drop below 114 while you're a slave in rebirth. It's usually a good idea to eat food before escaping, but any risk you take before your escape can reduce your chances of escape. So it's a tradeoff.

[@Jonsoner]

One small tiny tip that contains no spoilers Rycon. Even if you want Sand to be a martial arts user (easily the most fun weapon type) give him a katana when you find / can afford one since it's the weapon that increases Dex the fastest. Martial artist are kinda wonky, if they don't have good dex (around 30) they will spend the whole combat just dodging unless it's a 1v1, which is also the best way to train MA. So it's generally recomended to increase the users Dex first, train Str naturally then switch to MA. You can roleplay it as him wanting to take his revenge literally with his own hands but knowing that he is to unskilled at the moment... I don't know, you're a smart and cool dude that makes really engrossing content I'm sure you could work it in if you wanted to ;) Really enjoying your Kenshi experience man!.

[@ryconroleplays]

Thanks for the heads up on that one!

[@mdb45424]

theres also weight training ;3 fill the back pack with iron, carry a corpse and have Sand do sprints when you are settled in

[@dargonxon6291]

One hour and twenty friggin minutes of this gloriousness? Sign me up!

[@amartinez8907]

Yes! Can't watch now but yes lol That ending I just picture Park turning around to see Sand being chased. Then thinking "I can't just leave him" then starts running to help Sand.

[@SkinnyFG]

Every time I hear the Holy Nation, I think the Fire nation is about to attack.

[@killingmunch]

I'm astounded Park and Sand made it out, I kept waiting for what felt like the inevitable and tragic capture, especially with that tense ending! Great job barely, just *barely* making it out of there! Truly in Kenshi style.

[@lurnfitness572]

Rycon, your voice acting is just... wow. Epic intros, man. Love it.

Thanks!

Literally went and bought this game because of you. Thank you for introducing me to such a great game!

[@im3phirebird81]

Just had to drop this because it came to me the other night when I watched the episode: Sand may not know much of the world yet, but as we know, Sand gets everywhere :P

[@aFewBitsShort]

"Our hunger is increasing" When the numbers are lower; hunger is higher. It's weird, I know. You should have kept the 1h stick weapon in addition to your 2h one in case you get one broken arm.

[@camerondavids2481]

I must laud how entertaining this series is, I have no idea where we'll be in ten episodes, but this exciting buddy fugitive story is marvellous, here's to hoping they achieve their freedom, even if they only earn the freedom to ultimately starve to death in the desert.

Love the series, Rycon. A couple of QOL tips, you can hold right click on character portraits for more options such as trade and right clicking items in inventories when more than one inventory is open (such as containers) will make the items transfer automatically.

Grog is a good way to make money, but I think the bad thing about it is you can't drink it yourself. That's what is so great about Rimworld though, you can drink your own booze and get high on your own drugs!

[@princekyros]

Turn on defensive mode (the Block button) when running away, it gives you +20 dodge but you can't attack back Also: REMEMBER TO REMOVE YOUR HN DISGUISE! Sand is still disguised and the Shek might attack you.

[@ryconroleplays]

Yeah we'll be stripping off, thanks for the block reminder too!

I _love_ this series, it is quickly becoming my new favourite of yours (though I may be biased - I love Kenshi!) Please keep up the fantastic work, can’t wait to see what’s in store next episode.

[@DOGATHON]

Rycon, I have to say that this is some of the best content you have released thus far, and we’re only two episodes in! I am so excited to see where this all goes, and moreso to see how you continue to tell Sand’s story. Great job mate, keep up the fantastic work!

[@capablanca4984]

Late to the party here but this series is so good I subcribed and am binge watching now. Awsome intro's and voice acting. Very well done sir.

[@ThyLegohood]

I'm glad you were able to put down that 2nd Holy nation dude, but you could have had the guy chase Park instead of Sand.

[@mavericksantos998]

that actually makes sense so that sand can run ahead, and it'd be much easier to juke with park. I was too distracted by the dumb determination of that holy guard in chasing sand forever.

[@castile8009]

Great video! Quick tip, just put the back pack in your regular inventory when fighting. Will give you extra weight but no attack debuff. Plus being overweight helps attack skill gain faster.

[@justind4448]

This might be my favorite game you have every role played with. It’s amazing how much this indie game allows for for rping.

[@AbstractTraitorHero]

[@WastelandDovahkiin]

I've never been much into games like this, preferring more the first person style games. But I'd never heard of Kenshi before, so I popped on in to give it a look, and somehow I got hooked. I've watched the first two episodes, and plan on watching the rest. Great job, Rycon. You are somehow able to pull me in, even with something I wouldn't normally be interested in. That was definitely true of Outlast as well.

[@DeuceGenius]

your shek voice is incredible man love your narrating

[@chilljay126]

This series is amazing the role play aspect is one of a kind!

[@hostergaard]

Quickly becoming my new favorite series of yours Rycon! You might have missed that you but on the booths you wanted to keep off. And consider that the disguise might matter less when you are out of holy nation territory, so you may want to keep the armor depending on how you want to armor your characters. Oh, and when Sand is out and about keep Park running about so he can get his sneak up! Spoiler-ish. (Not really, just mid game mechanics): Also, I love to keep a series of "training dummies" locked up of various skill levels for my characters to train up. Like a hungry bandit for bottom level characters, then maybe a dust bandit, after that a dust bandit leader, a holy nation sentinel, maybe a Paladin to top it off. I have an idea where I want to chop of the arms and legs of a Paladin or some other higher level enemy, maybe a shrek since they a tougher, and then keep beating him up to train him and make him tougher. Give him some great armor. The game awards figting stronger enemies, so I figure that it would give my weak characters a fast way to level up without getting knocked out all the time, and they can hit him for a long while cause he is super tough and armored. I also plan to experiment with catching wildlife somehow. Knock them out, and if they can't go in cages, well, I will see if I can put them in a small arena whit walls around them. Maybe get myself a pet leviathan. Don't know if they will start attacking the walls or the gate. When you get around to setting up a settlement there is a spot near the Holy mines on the other side of the valley at Bad Teeth that have iron and copper while also access to both desert and green biome. I found it recently and plan to set up a settlement as you can produce all but rice there easily. Only downside is that its not super nice looking and close to holy mines. I guess if you want to do that and want to go the holy nation insurgent route you could role play it as a short of forward base into the holy nation.

[@BarokaiRein]

I think this is the first time I have ever heard anyone say that Kenshi is graphically pretty game.

[@DanTheReaperMann]

I know i'm late but the running option with 2 silhouettes means that they run at the same speed as each other. Eg. If one can run 10mph and the other 15mph the 15 will lower there speed to 10 to stay with the other selected character.

health in kenshi works like this: green: healthy yellow: treated wounds, will heal over time without rest, faster with rest red: untreated wounds, will decay over time into grey grey: old wounds, wont heal without rest.

[@mr.cup6yearsago211]

Pretty sure Red is cut damage and Grey is blunt damage, and I don’t think Red decays into Grey, although to be fair I haven’t really paid much attention to the way the different types of health work despite my 112 hours in the game.

[@solosalvador]

Mr. Cup the grey is just the health in the part lost, red is some of the damage from cutting weapons turned into like a gash or wound that without medical attention, will make you keep bleeding in that spot. Medical aid turned red into that yellow color showed. I’m also sure that the grey parts heal themselves over time. Like getting a bruise it gets better over time

3 ways to torture captured holy nation people ( Probably you would want revenge , in character , so these are some roleplay ideas .) 1. Done for Holy nation citizens , servants , farmers etc , or for when you are in a hurry , you slowly open many veins , avoiding arteries so they bleed out slowly in agony . 2. Done for Holy Nation Sentinels and Paladins and Priests , You chop off one hand every 2 days , then a foot every two days , on the 9th day you do torture one . 3. Done for Holy Nation High Paladins or other leaders , Chop of two fingers every day , then do the toes ,then the feet , then the hands , then torture 1 .
