Its honestly insane how big those things (elder) are
leviathans technically bigger, but those 30 mph things way more scarier

I remember watching fan animation with sound design of those things running after some poor guy
Straight up horror movie

Not gonna lie, decision to install anti-steal mods and to not plan stealing in the first place (mods just so theres no temptation) - was the best gameplay decision

But as soon as i went to Hounds for their quest (mostly to just get allied quickly as i was planning to build a base right away and need some protection), and once again saw this crazy 1100% mark up, in UC and how much money i made just from 1 delivery, i also decide to leave this money making method, as it feels too cheese for not first-second playthrough

Dgmw, I'll choose smuggling to stealing anytime, yet some aspect of economy still feels too easy (like buying good gear/weapons early and have no need to build many stuff at base and train your character to make their own), so crippling yourself this way don't really take anything from my playthrough, but adds to it

I have a LARGE family of every unique recruits + random that decide to join
and even at end of early game, some of them still wear rags and fight with sticks :D, as i try to make my first good armor for gate guards

Just feels like small victory, like that first win at the beginning when you fight a starving bandit solo, so much more rewarding

Rumblings, no need to read:

But by gods, you know i downloaded "craft tier 3 edge" weapons, cause its simply make no sense to go through building a base
Getting all necessary upgrades/training your guy for 100 in smiting, and STILL have to craft worse weapons (not meitou is fine as they are suppose to be unique rewards and collectables) then what you can find in some shops for FAR TOO CHEAP

I get that Chris probably did it so their a difference between legendary smiths and your team of hobos, but i think theres plenty other crazy things your team can do that technically wouldn't be possible if Kenshi was more realistic, so in this case, just let players go that way if they so desire (as not - will basically removes need to do all that i said above and just straight up buying/stealing best one as early as day 2)

Anyway whats your go to money making strat? (Not shaming stealing, and not trying to be a sweaty gamer, just as i said i've already done it multiple times before)

You know economy is fucked, cause ain't no way ppl would survive in the world where average person can't afford to buy stuff that cost more then 10 cats

F this city
-No guards at the front gate (i wonder WHY) - probably cause they were eaten like a month ago
-Giraffes just walk inside and eat you
-No good shops
-In the middle of nothing

Just stay away, it cool to farm hides and meat but DAMN im trying to leave but just can't get to full HP before the next "happy family" comes to the all you can eat buffet

WHAT IS THIS PLACE?!

p.s. trying to gater all unique npc for team and start playing with them (almost no save-scam, but the granpa decide to swim in the acid rain and later got stuck... died , so had to reload that one)

I really liked that (my first playthough) character
I got like behold check 18 almost right at the start of the game

In all ways i went though straight up hating her (rude and uses her power to scare you just for fun)
Then accepting her power though Snell rumblings (still hating)
Then deciding that she is "best of evils" compare to other powers
And with learning about the truth and dragons lore - being suspicious of her and worrying towards the Snell (who is my buddy boy)

Then right at the end of the game on that really anticlimax epilogue
And then BAM you hit that nat 20 (which in itself is really rewarding if you don't savescumm)
And the game hit you with "She simply loves them"
Its just.... am man, a relief and a warm feeling for your friend and good of people in general

Good character

If you steal the sword and help to defend their interest (Dexterety 14 or 16? check) and after that dice roll about ~15 dex
You can get both the sword and 1200 crowns!
Pretty cool

I dk what charisma's problem with good old Huzzah!

Once you solve the riddle of big blue mommy
You complete the quest and get to choose a feat (im not sure how it works in the game, i mean sometimes it seems you get only SOME choices but not all depending if either your alignment with class/politics/attributes)
But in this case with 8 in constitution i still got an option to choose one from my stomach (so it either free for everyone or just really easy to unlock)

Point is (spoiler about the feat): >!You double the gain from a potion that gives you +1 to attributes (works only once for each attribute) !<
And as you might know, theres >!AT LEAST 1 of each potion just free for the taking (well almost) !<
>!+ theres a POTION SELLER that sells additional potion (again, one fro each attribute) !<

So its really easy to gain full benefit of this (tho as i mentioned you gain "more" if you do it as new playthrough as soon as possible (which is i assume - start of the day 2)

There is an argument to say that the charisma option is also good - >!but not only do you lose more stat with items that have "-" on them, you also need to do that annoying item swap every time to capitalize on that AND ABOVE ALL, you need to find those items in the first place while potion is available really early and basically for free if you know where to look !<

So i say its the best choice to choose this one (also i just got it and didn't test it but if you can keep those benefits after you swap the feat - then its THE BEST ONE yet)

Just simple, easy flat +2 to every stat really early

p.s. Riddle was fun to NOT SOLVE
After i saw what developer did with first one - i thought it was pretty annoying and not fun at all (answer don't really make sense imho)
I almost expect some impossible thing for this one
Instead i did it by accident
>!(just was trying different thing to see if anything would work on her or get a reaction and i guess game keep track of your spell cast - so its somehow easier to solve it by chance then actually guessing it before hand) !<

In short - im really happy with this one, def gonna capitalize on that on my second playthrough
