I didn't get it
I didn't get it I tried 4 different times to get into the game and each time i just wandered around and gotten beaten to death or unconscious or enslaved and lost interest as i had no clear goal or any idea what to do But then i stuck to it all these years later, mining to get money, getting more guys, getting beaten half to death over and over, understanding the game more and more as time went on Now i have a successful settlement with lots of people i give jobs to and make my own gear and cactus rum, while my main dude is so jacked and powerful from almost dying a thousand times that i send him out to sneak around and knock people out with a bounty for extra money or steal things from shops when they close or solo a whole pack of bandits to loot This is not a game that is going to hold your hand, or even give you any goal to work towards This is a game where i genuinely thought there was nothing to do But it was my fault, i thought there was nothing to do because there was everything to do, but i didn't know where to start and i had no personal goal i wanted to achieve This game will now consume my life so this is also a goodbye letter to my friends and family The game is also very mod friendly and i would argue many of them are necessary If you need a new addiction i highly recommend Kenshi Its janky, it loads every 2 minutes while travelling long distances, nothing makes sense at first and theres quite a few bugs But if you can look through all it's issues you'll find a masterpiece I hate the Holy Nation btw Anyway great game

I started with 1 guy
I started with 1 guy I was then enslaved promptly Being enslaved wasn't so bad, you get food and health benefits Spent 1 week in game training strength, atheletics, and laboring by day Lockpick, thievery, and stealth under masters noses by night Tried to train assassination 1 night, which promptly turned into training dodge, melee attack/defense and martial arts I ended up surrounded by many slavers and went down Health benefits kicked in and they patched me up, put me back in the cage Repeat process until I am literally an enslaved god Release myself effortlessly from my cage and proceed to beat down entire force of slavers with bare hands, release any slaves I find along the way, who assist me in beating down previously mentioned slavers I escaped and many slaves joined my band outright, all of whom had good stats from being enslaved themselves so long Beat down Holy Nation 30 days later with band of angry ex-slave martial artists 10/10 would be a slave again

First time starting
First time starting. Set off in a random direction, got chased by a bunch of bandits and beaten up. Died after 3 ingame hours. Second start, wandered around a town, got into a bar fight, died. survival time 2 ingame hours. Third start, picked a different starting location in the desert got sniped by a noble. Survival time 15 minutes ingame time. Fourth start, beaten up by some starving beggars, wake up again badly wounded to limp to a town for help, got eaten by beak things. Survival time 1 day 2 and a half hours. Improvement! Almost 5000 played hours later, I've destroyed factions and nations, made fortunes as a traveling trader, stole from the rich (and the poor) as a lone ninja, travelled as a nomad, built my own city, been a slave and a slave trader, a bounty hunter, a ronin, a farmer, a fisherman. I've cleared ancient ruins and salvaged old tech, survived camping in the wilderness and killed a leviathan in a duel. I've lived many lives, died many deaths to get there...It's been a journey. 10/10 would die many deaths again.
