Oldworld Skeletons?

[Body of Eggs]

Tinfist, Mad Cat-Lon, and General Jang, I've found in my playthrough thusfar. Haven't defeated any and am thinking about aligning with Tinfist for lore reasons, but have you guys found any other important skeletons? I find that every single one of them adds another puzzle chunk to resolving the mystery of the past and they're always very interesting in the context of the environment.

Burn and Sadneil have some pretty good commentary in certain regions/situations that reveal some history/lore.

I don't know that all random Skeletons you can hire have the same personality in regards to lore-giving. But, some may have some sort of additional lore dialogues, perhaps. Either of these generated sorts have the player_skeleton package:

https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/Skeleton_Survivor

I don't know what the regular "Drifter" skeleton's package is. Burn and Sadneil have their own unique packages.

Armour King, Scrapyard (i forget their names), balckscratch library and World's End uni and Leader of skeleton bandits - Elder (p4)

edit.
there's also the foreman - spider factory, but i don't know if he has dialogue floating or otherwise.

There’s one Skeleton who sits around the Dancing Skeleton in Shark and takes **** all day for looking like the sign outside, but after having him on board for a few months worth of game time, I’ve decided that he has the same dialogue as all the other drifter Skeletons. I was hoping he would throw out some unique dialogue, but I think he’s just standard - I think his name was Weke (and always is), but there’s nothing special about him.

Yeah that's unfortunate. After having a skeleton only party, I've come to realize they had dialogue prompts primarily for human on skeleton interactions because skeletons are supposed to be rare. I still have skeleton on skeleton interactions, but the most I get is someone like Burn or Meathead talking to another drifter skeleton like they were humans asking or prying into skeleton biology.

Its weird, but I get why they didn't write as many dialogue prompts for skeleton only teams because base game Kenshi without recruit mod is very hard to recruit skeletons outside of the main drifter recruits. Outside of putting them into slavery and trying to buy them back again which is a gamble.

I got Burn, Meathead, two other drifters I forgot what their name was, and the rest were recruits I got from the Ashlands or Adventurer's Guild through mods.

Never got Sadneil tho I'm making a run with my main expedition force up there to pick up some thralls for recruiting. Can't seem to find their dialogue page on the Kenshi wiki unfortunately. What do they say to one another? Burn was the first skeleton I recruited mainly because his tower had a free skeleton bed.

I've picked up Disheartened Skeletons and Skeleton Survivors before. Its too bad they don't unveil more lore.

Ooh thanks! I basically have a giant army of +40 stat chars so I'm eager to find more lore bits in the world. Only ever been to Armour King and World's End.

Technically speaking, All Skeletons are Old World Skeletons.
