    focusing on being poor or homeless.

    this is what Kenshi has been like for me so far

      Kenshi is awesome. Does have a bit of a problem with the lategame though. It's really a game about struggling and overcoming adversity. Once you've overcome the adversity and you have 15 dudes who are all badass combat gods who live in a well-oiled machine of a fortress that they built in a pretty, green river valley you're just like "Okay, I have won the game. Guess I'll play something else now." Cause there is more stuff you can do after that point but it just doesn't feel the same when you have a safe, pleasant home to return to.

        I dunno, building a successful, self-sustaining fortress tends to attract the attention of the Shek or the Holy Nation, who regularly send squads to try and knock you down. But the fact that these remained threats into the late game might say more about my inability to effectively defend myself.

          Yeah the religious dudes would regularly come by and see whether I've decided women are evil yet. While I was getting settled I just had a man with a holy book meet them and go "yep, I promise women don't have rights here" but eventually I just had a woman say "what are you gonna do about it :gigachad-hd:" and then slaughtered every single person they brought. When your guys are skilled and geared enough, combat is basically not even slightly dangerous anymore.
