all rpgs are basically about one randian superperson being an anarcho monarch and solving all problems via utilitarism

In Kenshi you’re a band of deadbeat bums and lowlifes who wander around until they get really good at Kung Fu and then liberate people from slavers and fashy psuedoChristians. But you still get your ass kicked by Beak Things.

to be fair, kenshi does run on anime logic. the more you can get beaten to an inch of your life the more superhuman you can get. it’s just that everyone else benefited from that too.

plus one speedyboi can kidnap all the joe bidens, bringing an end to all the fashy empires with ease.

I had one very speedy very sneaky person (Their gender was "ambiguous shadow in the corner of the room) and their spent so much time rescuing my passed out fighting squad! I never abused hand to hand though so they weren’t all powerful.

kenshi is one of those games that come broken out of the box. it’s a sandbox so, really, you do whatever you wanna do. its very much like the sims where challenge isn’t the point, making up stories is.

one of my favorite characters starts off in the holy gulagstan and is a true believer. joins the army, nearly dies multiple times because the holy army in bast is atrocious, gets estranged from their squad, ends up travelling the world on their way back home and outrowing those beliefs due to multi-racial nature of imperial ancapistan. more stuff happens and then we end the holy empire with a peasant revolution.

god i love kenshi

You can choose to fight the Anti-Slavers instead but the game logic makes it pretty clear that the slaving factions are Bad
