incidentally a gang of starving bandits ate my loving dog, so i beat most of them to death and am planning on dropping the ringleader off in foglands territory so that he can be eaten alive the only reason i think i've got the right guy is because his hunger was ticking upwards instead of downwards when i found him. he could be entirely innocent

ran into a workshop in the deadlands full of broken robots who fixated on me and insisted on protecting me except they interpret this as "viciously attack any other sentients that come near"  green pants are robots, black shirts are, uh, innocent guards from a waystation several days later the last of them succumbed to band of bones, shek, tech hunters, nomads, mercenaries, dust bandits, starving bandits, and random dogs, and i can breathe a sigh of relief

What else do I do now that I seemingly exterminated the Holy Nation? Flotsam Ninjas and Shek kingdom have moved into the new vacancies.

There's a ton of hilarious weird quirky poo poo randomly distributed around the map. It's a surprisingly self-aware game where If you're on the fence about getting the game just get it. Even if you don't love the gameplay just exploring the map once is worth the price of admission

the secret armour shop is pretty cool. you've got this mental robot with his headless robot slaves that have combat stats scarier than arguably anything else in the game, programmed to murder thieves, and he keeps glitching out and wondering if you're actually a thief

I do not like the fog. The fog is not friendly. However setting up a base near the fog is a super good idea if you want good combat stats. Just make sure you don't range too far so you can fallback to your walls. If you catch a bandit you can go tie him to a pole, it'll attract a fog prince.

They won't loot or imprison you after pounding you into the dirt so you are free to get away after losing. Not so much with fogmen. The fog is excellent for making money though. Prince heads are worth $$$ and very easy to accumulate quickly just by hanging around Mongrel with your boy Beep.

Is it normal for bounties to break out of jail and be back in the world somewhere? I had one of the black ninja leaders return to my base to attack unarmed. Then I just had the high Inquisitor of the Holy nation show up a couple days after his capture with a patrol while I was invading Stack, with good armor but crap weapon instead of his edge 3 paladins cross.

Paladins aren't as fun, to be honest. I currently do get my rear end beat by them however. Started out as son of a captain, so i get regular battles by HN and UC outside my base.

So, my second game now, I started a scorchlander wanderer and hired the guy in the beginning town that's free. Went and stole poo poo, looted battlefields, found a ruined military outpost, so now my guys aren't completely naked and have some ninja swords. I've trained my sneak up around 70-80, but I'm really not sure what to do now? I've been running around and getting beat up, but it seems like every couple of times I get my rear end whipped my guys actually start dying and I have to reload. Is there a better way to raise my combat stats? Or make money? The game is weirdly compelling, but I feel like I'm missing something.

I’ve found keeping a medic on passive in stealth nearby the fights help. If I get wrecked I wait for the bandits/patrol to leave and then send the medic in.

Yeah, when you get into fights you shouldn't have all of your guys in, you need a guy in the backline to heal your dudes up if you're expecting them to get the poo poo kicked out of them. Numbers help. I'm far less scared of big groups now that i've got 12 people to walk around with rather than 5. The other 7 aren't that great at fighting but they at least soak damage while the five strong dudes actually murder poo poo. Bonus, if the worse guys go down, they build toughness. They won't die because you're likely going to win all your fights, you have good strong dudes!

I’m trying a new recruitment scheme. Everyone gets enslaved and won’t be recruited until they manage to escape, which usually involves getting hit a lot and getting at least some sneak, assassination and combat training. It builds character.

I've been running around and getting beat up, but it seems like every couple of times I get my rear end whipped my guys actually start dying and I have to reload. As was said above, numbers are your friend. Recruit basically as many people as you can afford to feed. If you hang out in the desert in the north west you can make a lot of money killing groups of slave traders and ninjas and blood raiders (or even just looting them after they get killed by gate guards). Pick up the guys with high bounties and turn them in. If you're in the borderlands area, dust bandit bosses/marauders have good bounties and marauders usually have like 5-10k of gear on them too. pick up meat you find, you can cook it on campfires that you can build anywhere and Other option to make money is just steal everything not nailed down and train your assassination up and collect high bounty targets. Or if you want the relatively low effort low risk way, just set up a leather crafting shop and make traders leathers until you can craft top quality gear, plus then it is easy to gear your guys up. Mostly just have a lot of guys. Kenshi is generally a quantity over quality type of combat E: if you want to be extra safe, assassination (and stealth in general) is wildly imbalanced for how quickly it levels. Just have your highest stealth/assassination character not fighting and he can come in and knock out everyone if your guys are losing too badly.

Once I get more than a few fighters I like to head to the Grey Desert area and farm cloud ninjas and bloodraiders for money/training. Cloud ninjas got good skills and high quality gear but their weapons suck and they have practically no armor on, bloodraiders usually have crap everything but their weapons sell for a decent amount. Pretty much all the ninja gangs are easy fights.

I think my only regret right now is having my main camp in the wetlands. No ore nearby aside from an iron node. Loads of space though. Copper requires an expedition to get to. Regular food from swamp turtles is nice. Regular attacks from blood spiders is not. Walls can't come soon enough, not gotten them up yet.

You make traders leather for money. Chest protectors are also good money, albeit more resource intensive. The only reason to do the armourcrafting for money thing is that it can be easily done within an hour of starting a new game.

That Guy Bob posted:How many limbs have you lost to blood spiders? None actually, before I left (this is an ironman game) I decided to buy good quality armour for everyone. I've got mercs that take those hits for me, most of the time. I've lost more limbs to garru because who the gently caress expects a garru to rip off your gf's insert character's arm?

I need to update the clown mod to be more in line with the recent armor changes, unless it made his start gear worse, in which case it seems more lore-accurate to leave it that way

I haven't had many issues with it, some crashing but that could be the result of mods. If you don't have anything else to do on the map, I'd say go for it.

I had one of my characters lose her leg leaving the Holy Nation and getting attacked by a pack of skimmers, and on the way back (with an additional robot leg), I found out the Holy Nation people apparently attack you if you've got any robot limbs. For now I've resorted to hiring another character as a sort of pack animal to haul her around without the leg, but I feel like it would be more thematically appropriate for the area if I could buy some sort of fancy palanquin and have a squad to carry my legless characters around Holy Nation in style.

Game launches officially tomorrow. Last chance to get it for the pre-release price of $20 before it increases to $30 after release. The Devs have been releasing bugfixes to the game on a daily basis for the past few weeks and the game is really shaping up. I already have 90 hours into the game on a single playthrough, so definitely worth the money if you like open world sandbox RPGs.

New player story - Read the 'rock paper shotgun' review of the game last week and got pretty excited. Purchased the game and started as a cannibal prisoner. I began with 2 people who instantly got the poo poo kicked out of them by a mob of cannibals and put into cages. Once I had healed (and watched the cannibals go about their day) I broke the locks of both cages and waited until nightfall so I could sneak off. Before that could happen the cannibals decided to hack up one of my guys and eat him alive as he screamed for mercy. It was another half a day until my remaining person could escape under the cover of darkness. I then had no idea where the gently caress I was going to walked/snuck around half the map trying to find a city. Looting some corpses for weapons and eating dead lambs I found. When I finally did make it to the city (poor, tired and nearly dead) I started a small business looting corpses outside ... A week later I've a 7 man gang, one of them is currently in jail after she picked up a dead body and carried it out of the line of sight of guards to loot only to be charged with kidnapping when she returned to the City. We're looking to break her out today and then take supplies back to my hut in another city so we can buy a cybernetic arm for one of my men who had his arm pecked off by a huge beak thing. So far - I'm loving it. It's a fairly chill game with a lot of mechanics. It can be a bit grindy? But there's a lot to do if you're willing to plod around and work stuff out.
