Honestly, Kenshi is also one of the only games I can think of aside from something like rimworld where sometimes you *WANT* to loose a limb because you can replace it with more powerful robotic ones.

Yes a heart thank you AA. Believe it or not I've been watching you for a while. I remember the rimworld earlier series and all that. I was ecstatic when the spiffing brit gave you a shout out. Keep making videos my good sir
I tried a slaves start recently and I had something to go to so i just went AFK for 8 hours, turns out rebirth gets attacked by skeletons and all the guards died, so I just walked out of slavery, this game is just too easy for the patient.
You got to hand it to Kenshi. I can't think of any other game that lets you start off as a quadriplegic and then progress into becoming a King. Talk about a rough start...
Those guards must have had quite the story at home Wife:"how was your day dear" Guard:"I saw a quadruple amputee waddle around my group for 3 hours like a demented rat...and he was weirdly polite"
Ok, I read through the comments... and would just like to put my vote down: Don't dismiss Logan, I like checking in on him for a couple seconds every now and then.. Dunno it's just cool. Guess it's like an additional thread to the story. Logan abandoned Torsolo so maybe oneday they meet again and fight to the death because Torsolo is pissed off at him, or they rediscover their friendship... fuck I dunno... but don't just dismiss logan, let him play out.. he dies he dies. but we wanna know lol. fuck man. I'm getting to invested. You always do this to me.
My favorite thing is the confidence that AA gives to the character of Torsolo. The idea of this man walking around saying things like “hello my good man” and “watch out hot stepper comin through” is absolutely the perfect characterization
With the finale of Torsolo's journey coming up, I came back to where it all began if only the world of Kenshi had known that the, soon to be, most deadly and dangerous man, was just crawling among them I think the comparison of an anime arc really fits for our hero, he started out at the absolute bottom and made his way up to the top
16:23 Imagine casually walking through the city, minding your own buisness, and then crossing path with your sleep paralysys demon sneaking in plain sight
i absolutely love kenshi for the adaptive and interactive world and characters they made, as well as the lore, but i want to have a few choice words with the person who green lighted a single skin for like every building in existence (:
I have not even finished the video and I felt compelled to ask. Where is he putting all these stolen goods? I feel so motivated watching a stump of a man make the best of a bad situation. He is an inspiration to us all!
I don't know if I'm a terrible person or if I have just played kenshi way too much, but seeing a sad sack of potatoes just slither across the desert just makes me smile.
You can actually dismiss squad members from your faction by dragging their icon in the squad menu to the dismiss text on the right, if I recall correctly.
Each to their own. But it's actually better for him to dismiss the hiver. If someone gets stuck in Terrain in Kenshi, loading a save has the option of resetting the player faction's squaddies where your camera is roughly positioned and facing on the ground, so if he doesn't want to deal with the hassle of that whenever a character gets stuck; you get the idea.
This entire video is just a town taking pity on poor old Torsolo Also love his catchphrase Torsolo: “Torsolo strikes again!” Rest of town that has let everything get taken to boost his morale: “Aw shucks, fooled again.”
i have never heard of this game and this being my first experience with it is probably not the right way to start but it is definitively the best way to start
"I wonder what the townspeople would think if a man such as this one wandered in from the desert, alone etc" In Kenshi? They would probably say; oh shit is Wednesday already?
"Yes, I have paid for my crimes against the state! Reformed am I. Unfortunately there's nothing I can steal from the jail..." Perfect line. :D You're clearly so reformed.
Me: Hey you know about the hidden torso? Friend: Hidden torso? Ohhhhh you must've meant Hidden Tiger! Me: Wh-What? No dude! I'm actually talking about a REAL BONA FIDE hidden torso! He crawls so slowly so you'd think we'd see him a mile away but we can't seem to notice him until he's up close, wiggling around following us for some reason until we out pace him or change directions Friend:......Eh?
Ah, I'm reminded of Reggie Games playthrough of this though he was the first one to do this and he made all major factions hate him because he wanted to suffer. Check him out, he has a small channel and deserves the recognition.
I still remember the exact moment when -- after 8 episodes of being beaten on by Landbats, Skeleton Bandits, goats, etc. -- he finally, _finally_ crawled out of the gauntlet that was Stobe's Gamble and into the safety of Venge. RIP headphone users.
I don't even know if you'll see this ambiguous, but i wanted to say it anyways. This year has been a ride for me. I had just gotten into kenshi and was running it on a 9 year old pre built system that cost me $400 at the time that i bought it. I found a channel with a guy playing a torso and fell in love with his style of content creation. Keep being you bud, love your content so much.
Those manhunters weren't benevolent, they thought "Look at this sack of shit, he's not even worth enslaving. He's dead meat." and went on with their day.
Imagine hearing the bell of your shop ring as the door is opened and you see no one enter. Then, you hear a voice talking to you and you look over the counter and you see that
LITERALLY ONE DAY I SAW YOUR VIDEO, I DIND'T SEE IT ALL. THEN MONTHS LATER I WANTED TO SEE THE SERIE, DIND'T FIND IT AND WOW I HAVE IT AT THE START OF RUclips MONTHS LATER, I'm happy. :)
AmbiguousAmphibian: “Yes… I have paid for my crimes against the state. Reformed am I.” AmbiguousAmphibian literally 1 second later: “Sadly there’s nothing to steal in Jail.”
Honestly the way slavers/guards treat you in jail makes sense... they don't let you starve to death, but they don't feed you well either. Just enough to keep you alive basically... however, with how desperate you can end up being in Kenshi sometimes that's better than not going to jail.
I don't know why this series make me feel bad watching it. It is like watching a cripple trying to get up after falling down the stair and you just stood there watching without helping him.
Have you tried the TOR-SO-LO experience yet?
Yes and wow was it grindy

Honestly the way slavers/guards treat you in jail makes sense... they don't let you starve to death, but they don't feed you well either. Just enough to keep you alive basically... however, with how desperate you can end up being in Kenshi sometimes that's better than not going to jail.
