Kenshi - open-ended sandbox RPG set in a desert world

[Shaki]

Everyone agrees this game is great so there's nothing to fight about. It's also just hard enough it filters out the tards. The perfect game, really.

It's great. But it's not perfect. There are no Gnomes.

You can get a hiver and cut its legs off, close enough to a gnome.

It's not close at all.

They're same height and just as useful?

Gnomes would be very hard to play because the primary survival skill in Kenshi is running away from danger. Beak Things are one of the most dangerous monsters because they can outrun you. But with some advanced ninjutsu skills you can run in zigzag to avoid their attack animation. If you were a gnome, everything is as dangerous as a Beak Thing, so you would have to rely on really advanced ninjutsu skills. And these are not skills that your character learns, but yourself microing movements like a maniac with many clicks. Advanced Kenshi is really popamole and hacky, it is best to roleplay and accept defeat when a Beak Thing spots you.

You run from beak things? Bitch, please.

This is entirely wrong. Gnomes have survived millennia of Griffon attacks and beak things are tame in comparison. Beak things would be a fertilizer supply for turnip plantations.

Gnomes only survived because they taste as bad as they look, so in an universe with abundant resources, Griffons prefer to hunt tastier and less smelly prey.

That doesn't mean that there cannot be Gnomes and Kobolds.

Nah. Gnomes and Kobolds should be in the game.

Bro, it was funny for one post. You just made your 7th.

Advanced Kenshi is bringing enough firepower to make beak things run FROM you.

You have to ignore Zombra before he ignores you.

Joking aside, would a Dark Sun -mod for Kenshi be feasible or already existing?

Sadly no, the only project of that type is that one Morrowind world conversion Morroshi but i doubt it will ever see the light of day in some decent form. I think there is NwN Dark Sun conversion in works but im not sure if anyone is still working on that.

 

[MerchantKing]

This is the mod we need. Though Dark Sun would have never been in that state if the world began with Gnomes instead of halflings.

Why not, someone was working on a Morrowind conversion and that looked right at home.

Man, how awesome would this be?

 

[Zombra]

Why mod perfection? The Kenshi setting doesn't need to change to something else.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Why mod perfection?

OpenXcom and such have done wonders.

I was thinking more of a Dark Sun: Shattered Lands implementation in the Kenshi engine.

Cleary Xcom was less than perfect. Who are you to argue against the wiZdom of Zombra?

What are the current recommended mods?

 

[Sweeper]

>Uhhhhh so what mods do you guys recommend for this endlessly replayable game that reached the very peak of emergent gameplay
You're watering down a perfect experience you fucking plebeians. The hoi polloi these days, I swear.

 

[Gilius Thunderhead]

What are the current recommended mods?

There are no must-haves, perhaps apart from those that increase performance in slower machines. Once you find out the game the is actually extremely easy, you can start looking for mods that make it more challenging in various ways, but they're all things you can change in the editor yourself.
