    i’ve read about it before and it sounds both goated and incredibly overwhelming

    like, it seems like you can just be dealt a bad situation and mcfucking die within minutes

      kenshi really isn’t like that (i mean, it definitely is, i’ve had several playthroughs fail because my sole character died immediately to a goat or a beak thing lol)
      but it’s more forgiving than you’d think - if your character gets beaten in a fight, 9 times out of 10 you’re just unconscious and will wake up eventually and live to fight another day - that’s kinda the whole point. the toughness skill is levelled up specifically by being beaten up, heh.
      in any case, when you start a playthrough you can adjust some difficulty sliders, like reducing the chance to die
      survival pro tip: recruit at least another member to your party asap - this immediately gives you the option to apply first aid to a downed character and reduce the chance they bleed out or something

      That’s what happened to me and it happened so fast I didn’t feel like I could figure out what to do differently. I should watch some videos and try it again, I’ve heard it is great
