Is there romance in this game?

[TonyMax.Fr]

I just bought the game and it's my very first question, yes. I've been told we can do everything in this game, so is it true? Can we make a familly?

(yes, i'm a nolife French weeb without a girlfriend... T_T)

[Khan Boyzitbig of Mercia]

No romance or family making.

[TonyMax.Fr]

Huh seriously? I'll ask for a refund, then.

Joke aside, any mod for that?

[iriemk]

There is. Havent tried this yet, but from the description it's sounds like an "adult fun" mod. Has an even more NSFW expansion too. Guess marriage is in there cuz of the Las Vegas flavor, since RL Vegas is the wedding capitol of the US?!? Anyway, sounds fun:

I think I also recall something along those lines on LoversLab, but I haven't looked at their Kenshi section for over a year. And I think that wasn't just marriage, but about having kids too.

There is if you want to role-play, in fact IMHO the game improves dramatically if you follow that play style.

My first char (male scorchlander) survived long enough to find a female scorchlander to join him, and in my Kenshi universe they are 'partners' in the biblical sense. Can't make children tho there is a children mod (I think) but just to see them running around.

Let Kenshi take you where ever you let it...

EDIT: seeing that 'marriage mod' now, will have to check it out, guess my chars living in 'sin' all this time... LOL

Hummm...

I asked a refund.

In 1998 in Fallout 2 we could get married but in 2018, in Kenshi a game where every people says you can do everything you want, you can't...
In F2, there's even prosti****on, you know?

Try the FREE demo https://lofigames.com

For me it was a difficult game to adjust to the controls and learn the mechanics, but once you get the basics, you just keep peeling the onion to find more. Give the demo a try...

Kenshi is a squad based combat game where you have freedom in that area.
this has never been a free for all do anything imaginable type game. it has free activities in other regard's.

basically nearly everything the NPC can do, the player can do.

[TonyMax.Fr]

So if i understand, the game didn't meant to be RPG like from the start?

[Hatsune Neko Gaming]

no. its primarily a squad based survival combat game with options to build a base and do crafting in a sandbox format. no hand holding. no real directions given in what you need to do to survive.

the rpg aspect comes from the player interacting with the game and making their own stories of their people and their faction and how they interact in the world of Kenshi.

I love Kenshi, but I think some people tend to exaggerate or misrepresent the freedom it gives the player.

There are a handful of things you can do in Kenshi which you can't do in most other games (such as being enslaved, losing limbs), but there are also a lot of things the game just doesn't facilitate, even with mods. There are virtually no social mechanics, very bare-bones political and economic systems, mediocre base building and raid mechanics. You can't really do anything; the freedom is more in the way the game just drops you into a world with no story or goals except the ones you make for yourself.

[TonyMax.Fr]

So it's more RP than RPG, yes i had that feeling when i launched it.
Thanks.
Maybe i'll buy it back when its price is lower than 10€, sorry.
The graphics don't help.

"There is virtually no" is a dumb way to say "there is no".
And if no social = No quest/RP (freedom). If It's only a sandbox, it's not my kind of game. Sorry.

I don't feel freedom when i'm looking at the stars (infinite void).

[Hatsune Neko Gaming]

while you wait for it to go on sale, get the demo.

but also, Kenshi is a niche game. if you don't end up liking it from the demo. then that's fine.
as for graphics, those tend to not make a game great. gameplay does. i seen many a pretty game. and only get out 20 or 50 hours of game play for $70 from it.

Kenshi does not include family and children probably b/c characters get slaughtered in this game in various scenarios. Certain calamities that can occur to playable characters:

• Starvation
  
• Severed limbs
  
• Knocked unconscious; and potentially robbed of possessions
  
• Slavery
  
• Death
  
• Cannibalization (with agonizing screams)
  
• Peeler machine (with agonizing screams)
  
• Characters beat up and jailed for either real or trumped-up charges
  
• Attacked/killed/enslaved for being a certain gender or race
  
• Having your home raided by gangs or the local government authorities
  
• Paying Taxes

It would have been a sad story in the making.

I understand for the babies, but marriage should be easy to introduce.
