@@stupotgorilla if you dont know where to look. anything in dangerous, un inhabited by civilization zones has pog loot. if you start in the hub theres a ruined HN outpost to the east up in some hills. it has mostly low grade weapons, but you can come upon better grades too if youre lucky with the spawn, dunno if spawns were pre set or not so. but just looting the place amd selling the stuff can secure your first few days worth of cats. its how i start most of my hub characters.

"One of the greatest aspects of Kenshi is how seamless it is. The world just continues, with or without you." I felt that line to my core. This game never lets up on that message of, "This world isn't for you and it doesn't revolve around you, it just is."

No one helped me and I was left to die. this game is ruthless lol

Kenshi really does have a way of generating great stories just from gameplay. I remember sending my last two people who hadn't been killed or captured by slavers to rescue one of our people. It was a close 2v2 fight, but we did it and went back to our village to fortify defenses and plan the rescue plan for the rest of our people. Long story short, it resulted in countless battles, all out war and finally my thief sneaking into their base and liberating my people to make an intense escape.

[@dipperpines5721]

[@kostya22264]

yep,one of my most interesting starts was a slave in holy nation territory,i studied the times,the patrol routes,shift change times,start and end of work day,when and who wakes up while exploring the place under the cover of darkness,the one night i libirated as much people as i could and made a run trough the gate, the two shek i libirated joined me and together we raided a holy nation farm near by for food and supplies and enslaved the farmers as a revange went twards the great desert and got enslaved over there once again together with those farmers lmao. kenshi really comes back to bite you in the ass every chance it gets

[@Aereto]

I have a 1-person save dating back to 0.6X before the transition to Unreal. Across the versions up to the new map, the Edge Type 3 Plank was later replaced with a Edge Type 2 Falling Sun, facing the beak things ever familiar since the addition of animal nests and their fear-inducing presence. By the time all map sectors are open, the time came to grab a Paladin's Cross for a showdown at the most dangerous regions of the map for the Meitou Falling Sun.

I still fondly remember my first character in this game. Jokingly named Beepity Bap, at the suggestion of a friend, she would watch me play most of the time when I was playing. Over time Beepity went from just a funny, throw away character, to becoming an absolute force of nature. By this point Beepity's preferred weapon of choice is the Falling Sun, something that takes out most people in one or two hits, and anything else in just the one. Only the most elite of soldiers or powerful of monsters really put up a fight against him now, that or overwhelming numbers. Though he usually will take out a few before I consider running away.

I remember starting off starving in the middle of the vast desert with only one arm... my only choice was to find nearby slavers, and beg them to beat me up and carry me to their camp... because that involves both safety and food. Working for them built up my strength, and eventually I learned enough lockpicking to sneak out at night for food and supplies. I was constantly discovered, beaten up, and thrown back in a cell. I didn't realize it yet, but each time they captured me, they not only made sure I was alive and fed enough to survive, but every time I was beat up I gained toughness. Eventually, my strength and toughness was high enough that I turned into a monster and took down most of the slavemasters, until eventually there wasn't enough left to stop me from stealing all of their food and gear and just walking out the front door. Oh, Kenshi ❤

[@GodlordBazi]

Kenshi is one of those games that makes you always remember your first "playthrough". I'll never forget that rollercoaster of ups and downs of getting into it for the very first time. The development from a lone nobody mining copper alone somewhere out in the wastelands to earn his bread and butter, to finally having enough money to buy some spare food rations to travel somewhere else in search of more lucrative (and also safer) work environments, to making your first friend in this unforgiving world, to making your first sworn enemies and eventually to finding a place to stay is a journey you'll find in very few other games. I've used a screenshot of my first goofy looking bunch of loosers as my desktop background for almost four years. Sometimes, after a long night of gaming, when I was about to turn off my pc and head to bed, I looked at this picture with a smile and thought to myself, "Yeah, those were fun times with you guys." Hell, it's almost creepy how attached the human mind can get to a few pixels.

I got Kenshi way, waaay back, and barely touched it - the mere concept of the game just got me hooked. When I finally did play it, I discovered that it had come so far since I had bought it, my old ass PC couldn't run it very well anymore. Despite this, I played and played it as best I could, and I loved every choppy, laggy frame of it my potato could spit out. I'm certain if I had a PC that could run it well enough, it'd be one of my favorite games. Seeing you play this just rekindled that, and reminded me about everything I loved about Kenshi. You craft and blend an organic story from just the early portions of the game, not just playing it to 'beat' it, but playing it to experience it. Well put, good pacing, and nothing over the top. Kudos!

My group started as a group of slaves breaking out of the Holy Nation slaver camp, only two of us making it all the way out, sprinting past the guards and into the wilderness after my main character staged a mass break out during the night. The best part about the experience was how many attempts it took, how many beat-downs my little bug soldier had to take before he finally managed to slip away by the skin of his bulky leg nubs with barely one companion making it along with him. All of that just to "start" the game.
