Did you not read the forum? NO DWARVES OR ORCS OR GOBLINS!

Ok what? haha. Did you even read my post? I just made a mockery of the people asking for those things. I said (and let me quote myself here) "Nothing about this game has a Tolkien-esque feel about it".

So let me explain this in case english is not your first language. Tolkien was a fantasy author. he wrote about elves and dwarves and shit, pretty much created the modern stereotype of fantasy that bores everyone to tears. And I said (read my quote again just to be really sure you got it this time) that this game does not have that feeling. Elves and dwarves and little goblin freaks would NOT (said it again) fit in the game.

I think what skynet (brr) was saying by read the forum, was to read the early posts in this specific topic.

Here's the entire quote:

when i read different races in a non-fantasy universe, i think first about different skin colors (white black red yellow) and then different live styles (imperial civilized, barbarian, robin hood style (maybe =lectors without long ears^^)
Yes, your right. When i was saying elves and dwarves i was talking about how fast elves are and how tough dwarves are. What i would like is that when there are different races that they have different stats, instead of just looking different. So NO ELVES OR DWARVES OR ORCS. Just humans that look different and have different stats.

I think we were almost done with tolkien then

Anyway, back to what we were talking about: were you guys thinking the lore to be more japanesque (like with their dragons, which in return could be a legend) or go complete in a new direction? now that we know some kind of robotic beings will be there...

Sorry about that, i didn't get the message.

Though what was this about robotic beings? I thought the robotics in this game were going to be old tech?

maybe it will be steam-powered, or something new ... for example a mineral only found in kenshi or an alien mechanism we wouldn't understand

the FAQs state fighting legenday monsters. hmm? venture to lands no man has gone that are war torn. hmm? what culd be over there? some type of mutant human? not sure what kinda war we are talking about here. i keep thinking of waterworld (not a great movie i know) minus the guns. or maybe even book of eli-again minus the guns and technology.

not sure what kind of legendary monsters there are. as i mentioned in another post i dont know anything about japanese legends or myths.

Call me arrogant or just ignorant but why mix (orcs, elves, or lectors, or whatever you want to call em) faggoty characters with badass samurai combat?

wolfwood296 · Wed Dec 21, 2011 7:36 pm

noone has said anything about acually putting them in the game but using them as examples since there will be more races

Oh i understand man but I can't understand why anyone could even possible imagining elves into Kenshi that even sounds wrong. But as Lorenzo666 said "Cannibals midgets ect," will be other races. Aside from that Elves or even anything that pertains to your standard "fantasy rpg" shall not or should not be incorporated with Kenshi as we know it. agreed?

P.S. and if there is that one guy out there that wants to be smart. yes we know but without these previous "fantasy rpg" games we would probably not have kenshi.

GOJIRA (Godzilla for the westerners).

I could imagine fighting an army of minturised robot godzilla dudes

Seriously though, it could just be some badass cannibal tribe or something out in the wastes. You could even go and make a bunch of robots gone wild. Just some section that you will die if you go into, unless you bring a large army of seasoned dudes. Even then I don't want your chances to be too good.

It doesn't even have to be worthwhile in terms of loot. You could just make the challenge alone worth the effort. Of course with crafting you could make something that exists in that area for the best weapon/armour types, but thats only icing. And kinda defeats the purpose of owning top level items if you can already beat the best area without them.

is godzilla the only one?

im thinking its just tribes of different types of humans. cannibals, barbarians, rogue fighters. peaceful farmers. etc etc...
