I'm posting screengrabs, teasers, and videos here as the mod gets closer and closer to completion.
In the mod you can do things like:
- Become a member of the United Heroes League and harass lost Hivers... um... I mean Make the United Cities Great Again.
- Try to join the Empire Samurai and beat up peasants... um.. I mean enforce the law.
- Get a job as an egg collector and try to survive Gut while fulfilling the very lucrative terms of your contract.
- Become a cannibal (albeit by completely losing control of your character and going insane) - might want to avoid that one as there's no going back once you've tasted longpork.
- Grow your characters personality over time by unlocking different dialogue options, changing them from their default personalities into bullies, heroes, racists, vagabonds, anti-slavers, slave masters, holy rollers, or empire sycophants.
- Witness your choices have a lasting impact upon your individual characters, shaping who you bring along in a squad and what missions theyre well suited for.
- Follow groups of wandering musicians from town to town and get drunk with them.
- Help beggars get their dogs essential packs of cigarettes.
- Release new and very dangerous enemies on the world while trying to save it.
- Join one or more religious cults.
- Live off the land.
- Tame some, but not all, of Kenshi's creatures. Or lose an arm to them while trying.
- Get your favorite weapon stolen while you sleep.
Lots of mods attempt to save Kenshi. This is a mod where you might actually decide that Kenshi is better off being left alone. I've deliberately set out to make this mod feel very dark, oppressive, chaotic, and morally ambiguous - where the only real heroes are those who live long enough to die rich and powerful.
You'll find familiar factions here, and a couple new ones.
You'll also find some alliances have been made that probably make a bit of sense, when you think about it.
What you wont find is alot of extra cities or content added without asking why that content has managed to survive long enough to matter in a place where everyone is barely getting by.
This mod does have a large contributor list. This includes contributors where no content of theirs was actually included in the product, but that I learned a great deal from and attempted to implement in ways that were just as thoughtfully and carefully done here. I may not have done as good of a job as these folks, though! Many of these contributors have already been contacted. All mods are added and balanced within the world very carefully so that they have specific roles they fill. I've spent enough time on the balancing to satisfy myself at least that most actually feel like they're all part of the same game and were not independently developed.
