Kenshi does not have a story mode, but there are multiple books and research notes scattered around the world – these can provide some insight into the history of the world you’re exploring.
Befriend them, kill them, or remain neutral Hire other characters and let them join your squad to increase your chances of surviving in the inhospitable environment Research technologies, build your base, craft items – make your settlement self-sustaining Assign each controlled character a list of tasks to perform automatically on their own, from sowing, baking, smithing and digging ores to guarding targets and giving first aid Watch your characters develop skills to become more efficient at whatever they are doing Engage in demanding and realistic combat, where damaged leg causes people to crawl, and severed limbs are permanently lost After receiving too much damage, the character will fall unconscious and will start losing blood.Some of these include base building structures, crafting, fighting, sneaking, stealing, trading, enslaving other characters, treating injuries, and exploring the whole world.. If you choose the first one, it will make the game significantly harder at first, but you can still hire other squad members later and achieve the same results as those presented in the other scenario.
