The Journey to Ironhaven | Kenshi | Project Genesis | Ep 02

oh whoa what oh my god guys look at this guys this is so cool man I I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing stuff like this is really sweet man hey everybody welcome back to Kenji project Genesis where we explore the completely reworked world of Kenji in the project genesis overhaul mod it's super awesome we're gonna restore rucas honor and we're gonna destroy the holding nation once and for all thank you all so much for the continued support of the series I am absolutely blown away really by how the first episode when it was so amazing and I really like I can't even express how much I appreciate it and I will try during this episode you'll see if you're new to the channel and you're a fan of awesomesauce feel free to subscribe for your daily dose because we love ourselves some awesomesauce here now project genesis so cool I'm super stoked so far we're running extremely slow right now because I didn't wanna have it on fast beat during the intro and what are we doing okay we the poles are in right I got all the results from everybody's stories now I we're gonna continue to explore these stories I will continue to probe you guys with questions and I will continue to get clarifications on how your character is tie-in and I really encourage you guys to do that with each other too now why okay here's how it works now I don't know if I care if I this as much as I could have or should have hindsight's 2020 and all that but what I what I loved guys what gave me so much energy and it really helped the the success of the first video was when you guys were telling your stories right not only did you tell a story people liked your videos I was Harding Harding the ones that I really loved and which I think was all of them like I don't actually remember not Harding any of them because they were all so amazing seriously kudos guys you guys are incredible your imaginations were just going nuts and I can't even thank you enough so it turns out that when you by the way we're we're on a way to squint or star the hub we're just kind of going slowly because I wanted to walk through this as I'm and you guys can fast-forward through this if you want to like it you'll know when Ruka stops running slowly that we've gotten where we are because we need to work on our strength training and that's what I'm doing anyway so the YouTube search algorithm right when you guys are essentially chatting with each other and interacting with each other in the comments and I'm interacting with you and you're interacting with me that actually helps the video and the video that we put out the first one right did a thousand percent better or in other words a hundred times better than my my average right it absolutely destroyed it now I'm sure some of it as thanks to the Genesis mod right and the attention that people are how excited people are to look at it but a huge part and probably the most of it was that you guys were interacting each other I'll I've seen the the cash flow like that it's cool it's nice to know that NPCs are very active here and so I thank you everyone who is chiming it in the comments I loved how positive you guys were with each other keep it up it's super inspiring for me to see that I love it I loved seeing you guys complement each other on ideas throw ideas at each other and that's really like when it can't and I'm not telling you yet who I picked for the the character you'll see when we find them however the person that won the reason they won is because they were by far the most active in the comments not only did they get the most likes from other people they also gave more likes than anyone by a long shot I went through and counted all the likes and all the comments and just I mean I can't tell who likes other people's stuff but I can tell who comments on other people's stuff which in turn those comments get likes right and that's really what drove the traffic to the video like I said a thousand percent better than my normal guys because you because of you guys you guys are what did that not me I mean I simply I simply pulled ideas out of you guys after your initial idea right I just asked you for your creativity you gave it to me you blessed me with your creativity and you guys made this video a success the last video and you will do that for this video too I have no doubt so I would encourage all of you to go back check out the other videos that other people have have submitted and and essentially thumbs up the stuff that you love I asked for further clarification on how can we tie the character in give suggestions be positive give each other the love that you all deserve and that is exactly what made that last video so successful so I encourage you to continue to do that especially on the first video of this series because that drives traffic into the series and then if people enjoy the series and they want to continue to watch they will do that and and I thoroughly encourage you to continue to chat with each other and give each other love throughout the series as much as you want to so thank you all so much for that I really appreciate it so right now essentially all I'm gonna do now that I've that long rant is over and I just want to say I love you guys man so cool that you guys were so interactive it I really appreciate it and it just it totally brightened my day it's amazing how high I felt just reading through all your stories and sifting through them so what I'm doing right now essentially most of you play catch you're gonna be familiar with this and I don't do this a lot but because we kind of got to the point where Ruka had a weapon that was heavy and it is a plank so it will train our decks as well which is nice because it's got 0.5 to cutting damage so it will also train her decks we don't need to worry about getting a decks only weapon it would train faster it would train her decks faster if she had a better weapon to add more decks on it like this one well this one's only got 0.65 anyway so it's not a whole lot more so she will be slow with this for a while once her strength gets to about 24 she will be swinging this thing pretty quickly because it's once you have a strength that's about two times as much as the weight of the weapon it doesn't really you don't swing slowly as a result of your strength anymore now you will swing a little bit slower because of your decks but her decks will go up as it needs to because it's got cutting damage on it that's fine so where was it going with that oh we're strength training right because her weight beat to be at sort of like even is 37 so what I'm gonna do is run around and do strength training for a little bit and then we'll get back to sort of exploring this world I just want her to be at 37 strength so she's kind of at even when she's carrying her gear and to just sort of further that I don't think I really finished my explanation so for any of you who are new to Kenji you can mouse over your encumbrance and it'll show you your strength XP you can also go down here and look at your XP right now as I'm walking around my athletics XP because I'm so encumbered will only be 32 percent right it's a got a - 67 percent penalty due to encumbrance and so if I tell you no route get it run way over here you can see though that I'm getting a 67 % XP I sorry because I'm at 67% encumbrance I'm getting a 45% encumbrance but I'm also so only 22% of that bonus is coming from encumbrance however because I'm carrying someone on my shoulder in this case VAM Rick's I'm getting a 200% XP bonus right so I'm getting a multiple of x - on top of the the multiple that I'm art or the base XP rate of 22 percent and that's net the net result of that is a 44 % XP right now it caps out at 50 right so what I could do is go find some more weight you know I could go find some iron and load myself up on iron and I normally won't mine early game because I'm not a big fan of mining I realize it's an integral piece of the game but I don't normally do it just but I'm gonna do it in this case because I want to I want to get a little bit of extra weight now what I can do also is just sort of put extra weapons and then like if I take this backpack I should have shown you that as I was doing it but you can see now the encumbers is only 58 percent if I take the backpack off and the reason the reason for that guys for any of you who don't know is because this backpack offers if I mouse over you can see it offers a 60% incumbrance reduction and that's fine but if you want you can fill it up with stuff and then when you take it off if you put it just in your inventory it's no longer it's like the frame of the pack is no longer supporting the encumbrance and then the encumbrance went up to 66% because the the weight or the mass that's in the backpack is no longer being affected by that by that encumbrance reduction and so what I'm gonna do is essentially just go ahead and mine here for a little while and if I click on Ruka we can see that her bring skills what's being applied as that goes up she's gonna mind a little faster that's why I have it on on times three now I'll need to go get food on her periodically and so I'm just gonna do this this one time I won't do it on any other characters because we've already kind of got Ruka with the gear and I wanted to demonstrate this right I do like to demonstrate techniques just in case there's a new players you don't understand kaanchi because it's a very in-depth game and it's very complex and and hard to understand when you're a new player and so for now we're gonna get enough iron to get Ruka to 71% encumbrance once you're sort of on the teeter point between 70 and 71 and you have someone on your shoulder you're going to get an encumbrance penalty or you're gonna get it gonna get a strength XP bonus of 50% which is the cap and once we're there and we're gonna carry around a little bit of extra weight just so that when she levels up because every time you level up and your strengths you get one more weight so we need so I think right now let's take a look at her inventory she's at 32 so we need a level up five times essentially so we're gonna need five more weight than what her then whatever brings her to well actually that's not true we're gonna need a lot more than that but we'll bring a bunch of extra iron in her backpack and we'll start dumping it out to give her more weight essentially so once I've kind of got her full up and and run around and I can EXPEED a little bit I'll bring you back and kind of show you but you can see like as reminding this you know as this green bar fills up it's going to essentially go all the way to the end and then we're gonna have some iron that we can grab on Ruka and so if I go ahead and do this we can see up here in the top of the total weight listed here as I sort of add this right it's gonna add and it's gonna add weight and then it's also gonna add incumbrance right now she's at 69% so if I go over here and I grab another one and then I click back on Ruka now she's at 72% and what you can see here is that she's getting 50% XP bonus now so now I can just walk around until she's basically not at 72% and what that's gonna do is give her more XP and just to demonstrate how fast you get XP while you're doing this I'm gonna go to the character screen and on a mouse over strength and you can see boom see it's jumping like 6166 like it's just jumping right it's going up so fast that it's kind of jumping in big increments and then eventually what now okay so let's bring this up right she's at 114 out of 32 once this strength actually goes up to 18 which it just did now I can go back to her inventory and now her income per encumbrance limit or her sort of I don't know if you want to call the soft cap where she doesn't get an incumbrance penalty I went up to 33 instead of 32 so every time your strength goes up by one you will get an additional point in your you're sort of like soft cap of encumbrance where you don't take a penalty to athletics and you don't get a strength XP bonus it doesn't make you go slower at the cost or at the and give you the ability to gain strength essentially now there is sort of a gap between the two which is I think is personally kind of lame because you you you don't get an encumbrance bonus until you get up to a certain amount over and that and you've already slowed down at that point so you can start to take a penalty to your Athletics XP before you start getting any bonus to your strength and I really wish they would change that because I think the moment you take an athletics penalty you should start getting a strength XP just me anyway essentially what I'm gonna do now is I'm just gonna run around with her until we get up to 37 it's gonna go pretty quick but I'm not gonna make you guys watch it I just want to demonstrate how you do it and then effectively like you can see she's at 71% now once she goes to where she's not at 71 anymore this will eventually go to 49% when that happens that's when I'm gonna go grab another ore and I'm gonna start walking around with her again and it's a little bit below seventy right the the UI actually rounds to the the nearest seat it just went down to 49% it's still 70% but what it is is probably it went down below 70 point five enough that it started that whatever it uses to calculate this strength XP bonus is no longer being applied so it's no longer rounding and so then we'll just go back and grab another piece of ore and once we have that we can essentially go we'll notice that her XP bonus now went 50 percent she's now at 73% encumbrance so that will it'll continue to go down and then we'll continue to have to get more ore and this is a really boring tedious process that I don't really like to do in the game I like to Train strength naturally through the use of heavy weapons or weapons that have blunt damage on them or that are you know heavier than your strength but early game that's a little harder to do because everyone moves so slowly and we need to go somewhere very dangerous today and we need to be able to run fast in order to do that alright and what are the side effects of course of running around with really really heavy stuff on your back is that you get hungry and I wanted to see if I could show you that here the hunger rate it was showing up over here we go one hundred eighty eight percent so essentially like as she's running around carrying something very heavy like the racial XP obviously or the racial hunger rate will take into effect which is a 25% increase over the normal and then she's also using more because she's encumbered so you multiply one point two five times one point five one and your your result essentially will give you the the overall hunger rate which in this case would be one point eight eight or 188 percent now she's gonna eat a lot of food during doing this training so it is kind of costly luckily VAM Rex is the skeleton and he doesn't eat a darn thing so however I wanted to show you real quick that kind of like you know early game when you're pretty broke which we are it's good to buy sort of meat and it's very cheap and it doesn't give you very much nutritional units only gives you 15 but there isn't any meat for sale here so I I just want to point out that one of the things you can also buy that that it only has 25 nutrition units left right now but it did originally have 75 and it only cost three hundred and seventy now it's definitely not as economically sound as picking up the just the regular meat but it is better than like it the cost per nutrition unit is better than everything else that's for sale here right so you can see here the cook vegetables is 388 425 nutrition units that's that's basically the same price it's actually more expensive than the Gohan and it only gives a third of the nutrition unit right so it will last us a third as long now here's a food cube right which basically it cost twice as much or the amount as the go on and it gives 75 nu so when you have a lot of money these food cubes can be really good because they take up less space in your inventory look if you look at this this is the 3x3 or it takes up nine total slots whereas the food cube is a 2x3 and it takes up or a 3x2 whichever one you want to say it takes up basically us you know takes up 1/3 less space in your inventory for the same weight and it takes and it gives you the same menu so if you have lots of money and you can buy these food cubes they're very good they're not as good as ration packs but they are they're pretty good when you have a lot of money so another thing I should mention too is that I noticed interestingly enough now maybe it was because it was nighttime there's sand that's actually really cool I believe I just seems like this bar in this mod overhaul seems a little empty compared to like what I remember in vanilla now maybe that the NPC's are spread out throughout the town and that's why it appears that way I'm not really sure but you know it definitely didn't feel as alive as the vanilla bar which is you know stay in a little bit because it is it is the hub of course it might be like I said because it was at night or something maybe during the day it'll be more populated however there's a lot more population out in the town center which makes the actual outside of the town feel incredibly alive and I love that I really think they did it just a fantastic job you guys listen I think you did a wonderful job just sort of making the town in general feel alive you know there's a lot more people kind of walking around doing things it looks like I may be wrong on that but that's what it feels like that's my general impression one thing I also forgot to mention we're actually gonna head over to squint and check out some armor vendors I want to get rid of these now these are these are nice for sort of the the actual like reduction values like the the resistance values like the blunt resistance cut resistance and cut resistance efficiency those are those are quite good for how early on in the game we are however I don't I don't like the the coverage right now I'm gonna want to wear some athletics slash combat speed effect sandals for quite a while probably until my people are all gonna be running faster than like 21 or 22 miles per hour if I give them something that their athletics now these are hindering our athletics now that it is canceled out right so the run speed like even though even though we're wearing those we are getting this sort of plus 4% but I don't even want to have like a I don't want to have a deficit at all or a negative and so we're gonna we're gonna get rid of these on both VAM and Ruka and we're gonna head to squint to take a look at their armor shop to see if they've got something now I'm okay with just getting some some you know cheap armor samurai cloth pants or or whatever something that has 100% coverage that is you know not very good essentially like they can be standard grade shoddy grade whatever I mean shoddy would be kind of kind of a bummer but you know whatever it's it's fine I think I'd rather be able to run faster then and get away then have some coverage right now because we need to take damage anyway to build up our toughness right so if you don't know that about kaanchi and you know if you if you want to know how to level skills for the most part you can kind of look in here right so let's look at toughness now toughness right now it says damage resistance - 52 percent right and essentially that means that every enemy that's hit that hits us if they're doing if their base damage is 10 damage and essentially like we are gonna take 52 percent extra damage right so we're gonna take considerably more damage we'll probably take about 15 damage from them hitting us and so once we get to around 50 in toughness we'll take their the even amount of damage that they're supposed to do and then once you get higher than 50 you start actually reducing the damage that they do to you right so it'll start saying something like damage resistance 50 - you know 10% and 20% and then eventually as you get up to a hundred toughness I believe it goes to 65% so you know slowly but surely and the way you level toughness of course is by getting your butt kicked and then also getting up while enemies are near you that helps quite a bit and the faster you get up near them near the higher number of enemies that will give you more XP I think I might actually mentioned in the last episode so what we're gonna do here is do a little bit of armor shopping I also wanted to mention that I added a couple mods here so they're just performance enhancing mods it still of course squid has always loaded quite slow but it does feel like it loaded faster than it did the last time we were playing whether it actually did or not I don't know I didn't time it I could look at footage but I haven't I haven't done that unit so let's take a quick look through so the ones that I've added right let's just take a quick look at the mod list because it'll be easier than me trying to like remember them okay so we've got the compressed textures project we've got reduced weather effects we've got less clutter times 0.25 so that's gonna have basically a quarter of the amount of sort of like foliage and rocks and stuff that are on the ground and then I added the nice Maps mod because it doesn't conflict and it doesn't give any spoilers away that's what I was worried about and then of course we already had the transparent UI and we also have Genesis of course obviously the the Genesis mod which you guys can all get if you check the link in the description of the video there should be some information on how to get in contact get on there discord and get that and then there was an emergency hot fix that they that they posted essentially for the alpha release that if you want there's some issues of mongrel that if you want those to be fixed you need to use this emergency hot fix and I'm assuming they will continue to probably update the emergency hot fix which is on the Steam Workshop but I don't know if it's on the Nexus but I would guess they probably will put it up on the Nexus if not you can use steam to grab it and then this one will probably be updated throughout as they do work on the Alpha and then maybe once they release a beta they'll come out with a new Genesis that will need to update to that and then they'll put out emergency hot fixes on I don't know if that's actually what they're gonna do but I'm guessing I'm just guessing here so anyway that's kind of what we're running with now and I will add a steam collection of course with all the mods that you can get on top of Genesis if you want to use them so you know what I'm using during the play if I ever add anything you can reproduce the play through so let's take a look at the armor again here and see if we can find some legs and oh there we go their prototype that kind of sucks but it you know it is what it is I don't know that I'm gonna buy the hose it kind of can a trashy now stuff like this right now this is what I'm looking for it's not as good as the high-grade that we have but it doesn't reduce athletics like if you look at these plated drifters leather pants I do like them but they reduce athletics an early game we don't want that so I'm not gonna buy prototype those are pretty much garbage but I think what I will do is is essentially pick up some I will pick up some standard grade cuz they do give better coverage there ninety percent versus the you know versus the sixty percent but they're still not what I want I want samurai cloth pants early game when I'm wearing these types of sandals because they give you understand coverage and then I don't ever have to wonder is there a temperature chance that we're gonna take full damage to that that leg I don't want that that's that's not what we wanted all I will also look out for turtlenecks I'm not gonna replace a leather shirt because I don't really want to spend money on that but oh the Shinobi's the Shinobi's guilt guys is what another place I should have checked probably well while we're in that other town somebody go ahead and buy these machine out here are they too expensive they're only five ninety six where is he you should be following her yeah he is okay let's go ahead and buy those and then we'll go ahead and sell these guys and then we'll keep we'll keep our eyes out I think I will stop by the shinobi thieves guild because we need to actually go buy back that way on our way out of town anyway and I should probably at some point buy some better armor but you know all this stuff's pretty heavy this isn't too bad this might actually be better I think we'll just stick with what we got and we'll start I want to primarily loot so I'm not going to replace the the tops if I can with stuff that we buy cuz we want to save up money for our recruits right we're gonna have to get some money to get our new recruits so that's kind of what I'd like to do is is sort of save our money for that and so I think we'll stay with what we've got so far we might just really quickly I think really quickly we'll just swing back by the shinobi thieves over here it's kind of silly that we ran all the way down here now we're running back but I would really like to to find another pair of samurai cloth pants and often you will be able to find them at the shinobi thieves so looks like he wants to talk to us here he probably wants to check our gear yeah you can take a look it's fine we've already been through that been through that and that's why we want to regain her honor right I think once you become super popular with the sheykh they will leave you alone and won't check your bags anymore because they will worship us guys they will absolutely worship us they'll love us and taking a look here at at vams stats now like look at his run speed right it was 18 before but now that he doesn't have a penalty he's going 20 and as soon as we take care of this situation with Rico we should see something similar she should be able to run close to the same speed hi we're just about to the hub and we've got a group of dust bandits that are kind of giving us a hard time here and it looks like they're gonna chase us into town so I'm hoping that we can kind of cheat we can get him to chase us into town and get the guards to kind of engage a little bit then we can engage gain some skill because we obviously can't engage this on our own right and so we'll get in there hopefully the guards will poop I was having trouble clicking there that was interesting so why don't I go ahead and click up here we'll go ahead and speed this up a little bit but they can't catch us right now they're keeping up with us for the most part but we just want to get him up here now I think there may be enough guards and stuff in this town to I shouldn't have stopped running there that was a bad idea but I don't actually know and it may be that that will run into some trouble here and I don't I don't actually know so let's see let's go ahead and get turned around here and we do want to get in here and get mixed in with these dudes right we don't want to shy away from combat that's how you get better is engaging in combat but we do want to be careful about the engagements that we take and I don't think we need to worry about dying in this situation or anything we're just gonna gain skill ups here so Ruka is just getting absolutely swarmed here and of course by default it has the times 5 mod and I don't use block I certainly could that's one thing I could do early game is utilize block it looks like vams getting getting engaged to not doing too bad we're not we're not going down by any means but we're certainly getting just absolutely I mean look at look at the damage that Ruka has taken on her arm here she's taken quite a bit of damage here I think one thing that we can do is get Ruka out of here and I'll just show you this I'm gonna go ahead and right-click on ruko now I'm gonna go ahead and select them both actually before I do this I'm gonna right click on Ruka oh that's interesting oh I think because she has to first first aid herself first so we'll let van Marek's kind of get engaged here and keep fighting I think he should be just fine and we'll just kind of keep an eye on Ruka a little bit here so vams getting stuck in here get some blocks he's getting hit a little bit more than I'd like but hey you know what that's how you that's how you level your block the more like you get more xp for getting hit than you do for a block right so you will get Dex XP every time you block it will get defense XP every time you block but you get more of those if you actually get hit if you don't successfully block so what we're doing is we're waiting here oh man Vans looking so fun he's all stubby and he's just tiny it's so cool and then we're waiting for Ruka to essentially finish her first dating now now that she's done first dating right that left arm can be splinted and we don't have a splint job and I like to have a splint job setup and so what we're gonna do here is we're gonna right click on Ruka after we've wit so I hit the tilde key right so if you select anybody you can use like the one key the two key to select people in your group if you the tilde key that will actually select everyone in your group and then I'm gonna right click on Ruka and now you can see in this context menu split injuries shows up I'm gonna hold down the left shift key and I'm gonna let go and then boom down here in the right hand a bottom right hand corner of the screen you can see splint rigging showed up so after they medic and do robotics they will do splint rigging on each other so after they're done fighting here they'll go ahead and do that and it looks like they are done fighting so now we can take a look they're gonna robotics on VAM first and then once they're done with that they're gonna start I think vams should start doing it on Ruka right he's gonna go ahead and do he's gonna splint because they both got splint kits right let's see are they are they actually going to do that shouldn't they that's interesting I wonder if she already splint it herself nope there we go so she splits it now because they're very bad at first aid they're not gonna get much splinting done right you can see that this splinting is is quite a poor job now eventually they can splint so it you know is this huge green bar so what that means is the light green is essentially saying okay yeah you're damaged and you're damaged to where this should be on the left hand side of it but I'm because I've splinted it it's gonna perform like as far as penalties go for determining like so you can see injuries here oops not on attack which ones are they on is on strength yeah so you can see here the arm injury will affect your strength right it'll affect your effective strength essentially and that is gonna give you a - 11 percent penalty - your strength so whatever your strengths out it'll give you a - 11 percent so in this case like 10 percent would be - around and they'll give you a little bit more than that looks like it might be rounding - and then that's gonna affect your max carry weight as well because of the penalty so pretty cool though and then as their skill in that gets higher over time in there what is it called medic or something field medic as that gets higher they will be able to splint more effectively so if you want you can always use a dedicated medic I don't ever do that I'm too lazy and I do I do I will sometimes keep somebody in the background to help medic but I'm never gonna have a dedicated medic I like to have a cross-functional team I like to have everybody doing medic another thing I should show some of you new kaanchi players is that there's when you're moving as a group right now I don't always do this when I have larger groups actually he's a different technique which I will show you at some point when we start needing to do it unless I already showed you and I'm old and I forgot what I do here sometimes at least early game or at least when I'm not going through areas like the swamp but you can you can once you have people grouped right you can kind of use this selector up here you know that'll tell everybody to run it through their max speed so what I can do here is I can click here and you'll see that eventually because VAM wrecks runs faster the Ruka he's gonna start distancing away from her right and in order to prevent that there's a couple ways to do it but one of the ways you can do it with a smaller group and if you're not moving through crazy territory where water will get your entire group killed you can essentially select this which keeps I don't know what it's called but it essentially makes your entire group move at the same pace holy hell there's a big fight out here oh yeah dude let's go get stuck in baby let's do it what are these guys dust bandits oh they're hungry bandits let's get out here especially on the leader right like we don't care about fighting hunger bandits these guys are jerks man let's get out let's get out here do it oh and I've got van Rycke set to range now so hopefully he won't accidentally shoot somebody that's gonna come and be be mad at him for doing that it doesn't look like they did anyway that's a demonstration of how to how to use movement now we need to get some more money to get ready to go get a recruit now I don't know how much the recruits are gonna cost some of these recruits that you guys have been requesting and I didn't look it up so I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get to the point where I have 10k and then I'm gonna go looking for them just so that we have a little bit of a buffer and honestly if we get there and we don't have enough money well we'll steal some stuff and what makes we'll make some money or we'll wait for some people to get in fights or we'll get in fights or whatever okay so we did find I went and sold some of the armor that we didn't want to wear anymore and I did not sell it to this shinobi trader right because if you sell to this shinobi trader you're not getting a lot of money you're getting half the money that you normally would at his shop so don't sell here but you can buy here and look at how cheap this stuff is right I mean this is a standard grade black leather skirt I've never even seen this before so I'm assuming this is something with omos or something like that so we're gonna go ahead and grab that it has pretty decent coverage it's got ninety percent so it's a it's definitely better than what we had before now the the values as far as the actual resistances go not not as good not nearly as good actually but I think it'll be cool to see what it looks like I'm not a big fan of the 50% cut resistance efficiency cut resistance efficiency on your outer layer is incredibly important now we don't really have any layers underneath our pants so it doesn't really matter as much with our pants but if we had boots that essentially had another layer and you've got a covers distance efficiency of 50% that means a lot of that well half of the damage that you would have resisted essentially will go through as blunt damage and skip all the layers below it so for instance on a chess piece right if you're relying on your your shirt to be your next layer and your pants if their samurai cloth pants to have another layer of protection for your stomach that can be a very very big issue it can lower your damage reduction or your effective HP considerably so you want to do you want to try to make sure that your outer layers if they have layers underneath them that you're relying on for damage protection to have as high a cut resistance efficiency as possible ideally around 90 percent or more but sometimes you can't get that right so you just you want to have your outer layers be as high as possible on the cut resistance efficiency just as a general rule of thumb it's a very complex system I'm not gonna explain it all right now I will certainly if people have questions about you can ask me in discord or you can ask me in the comments and I'm sure there's plenty of other people who would love to explain that as well it's very complex system also I think this shirt is not really gonna do us any good and I'd like to to get something a little bit better and it looks like there's two assassins rags here now that's not really good for a robot because they can't really compensate for the lack of stomach and chest protection so I don't think I'm gonna go with that I think we'll wait for something better you can see how there's still there's also only tempers and chest protection on this one so we want something on him because he can't have a shirt we want something on him that's gonna give him a hundred percent coverage on both the stomach and the chest because those are vital areas and you have to protect those because those are what allow you to die if you go to zero I saw if you go to minus 100 or in his case minus 200 on those 201 actually you have to go one below the negative of your max so if your max is 200 you go to the negative 200 you go one more than that - 201 you die if you're a fog man and your max is 50 and you go to minus 51 you die so and that's the basically the head the stomach and the chest the arms and legs you can lose those and replace them it's fine you'll bleed a lot but you can live through it right you can't live through going to minus 201 on a head or a stomach or a chest so you need to absolutely protect those as if it was the most important thing you're doing so and I think let's see how much this cost yeah I'm not gonna buy that well wait until we get some from Luke I saw these two guys by the way I've never seen these before these don't have an athletics increase we're not going to grab them yet maybe later game we'll grab these on somebody but really I'm looking forward to seeing what some of this stuff looks like I haven't seen some of this we'll add these two characters as we kind of get new characters and I'm not gonna buy this backpack unfortunately that's kind of what we were here for in armor but we will continue to look for a chest piece for VAM and I'm gonna leave him as martial arts too so I'm not gonna worry about him because he's a skeleton he doesn't take any damage on his hands from doing martial arts against heavy armor right so he since he's a skeleton he won't take any damage from punching whereas if he was a a green Lander or ask or slander or Shaq or however whatever he will take damage I just realized that I'd never showed you guys the graphics on rucas new pants although I don't think that they're pants I mean it just kind of seems like maybe they're a little bit a little bit more sexier than I was thinking name was gonna be Eve you know I'm sayin it lookin good girl real good Ruka is Brooke was the hot chick I'm just saying she looked good so yeah pretty cool I really like a lot of the the textures that people have come up with for some of this this armor it's really nice and they're definitely pretty skimpy I can see why they're not a hundred percent protection although rucas bone plates right those should help yeah so here we go here's a shot of rucas kind of overall look with those on she looks pretty sharp I like it definitely definitely the top doesn't match the bottoms and the sandals kind of stick out you know the color coordination isn't quite there but they're looking good you know what I'm saying they're looking good so we're making it work guys there's so much more action here than there has been vanilla it's crazy like there's just people like fighting all the time and we're just like cleaning up this battlefield like just making grips of cash mean it's not a ton but look at this right we're already at 11 K almost so I think I'm gonna just fill up here real quick go sell this stuff and then we'll head on we'll go get our new recruit I hope you guys are excited to see who it is man cuz I'm super excited to introduce them I got some new new techniques for trying it out so I'd love the feedback from you guys once you do end up seeing their sort of intro in the final product of the video I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing what you guys think of it and like giving me feedback on how you think I can make it even better or maybe just totally redo it and improve it so I'm always looking for feedback from you guys about how I can make this more fun for you also because you guys make it a blast for me just interacting with you in the comments it's just a an absolute pleasure to have you guys along for the ride it's really been amazing so far so we're kind of making our way across this ravine here and we're gonna come up here we're gonna check out iron Haven I don't really know what that is it's definitely not from vanilla so it's a town I think they've added with this overall and I think we should go over there and check it out so let's see what it's all about guys okay cool so we just discovered a Waystation it looks like we got a weigh station right over here so we could probably stop in there if we wanted to but we don't really need to we kind of have everything we need we probably should pick up some sleeping bags at some point and I would like to find a backpack for VAM at some point too I probably should have I don't know I don't think there'd be a shinobi Thieves Guild there but there should be an adventure shop there which we'll have a chance wow it seems like this area is really slow to render or slow to load by comparison to what I remember being probably because we're loading in iron Haven and whatever this sort of ruins settlement is I guess that's okay all right so we can kind of see iron Haven I believe that's iron Haven right up here I'm not really sure who lives there or how dangerous it is actually it looks like that's a ruined settlement iron Haven is probably so you can point your arrow here right iron Haven looks like it's right up here so let's just oh whoa what oh my god guys look at this guys this is so cool man III can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing stuff like this is really sweet man just exciting what is this look at these new towers and everything this is cool dude this is a oh man whoever put this city together I don't know if it's one or more people but men fantastic job looks like it's free traders potentially yeah it's free traders so we can get in there and explore I say we get in there and check it out see if there's any shops maybe there's some recruits I don't know so I have no idea what's here and who's here and I think we should just really get in here and kind of explore and check it out man look at this dude this is so cool like this is just another example of just the beautiful craftsmanship the wonderful wonderful work that these guys have put into this mod look at how detailed this is like this little shop set up with a trade sign and they've got like you know all kinds of like these I forget what these are actually these little capacitor plates or whatever I can't what they are and then tools laid out here some metal plates potentially I think maybe you know whatever these boots are they look like maybe they're like I'm not sure plated leather boots or something I don't really know they don't you know first-aid kids etc like just look at all this cool stuff gears oh man this is this is just cool man that's that's pretty sweet and I bet during the day there's probably people out here selling their goods and stuff just a really neat spin on a town gotta say really cool oh is this stuff we can steal no it's just it's just showing up like it's just something about how they're placed in the game is showing up it's highlighting it that I think if that could be turned off that'd be amazing guys I like the sign right I like the sign showing up but I don't like these cups and stuff being highlighted the reason I say that is because if you guys don't know and can't you can hold down alt to show you where the signs in a town are and I think that sort of makes it harder to do that so if there's a way to toggle like one of the if there's a way now maybe it's because they're not stealable all right I'm not sure but I mean they are I mean those should be stealable why shouldn't they be I'm not really yeah you guys have to let me know maybe some of the devs can chime in there's I'm very very new to modding so I'm sure there's some reasons why they're doing that and they made some compromises but just I'd love to know so yeah really beautiful town so far I'm loving it let's let's check out this bar over here and see what we can find looks like a pretty typical set up in here what I would expect kind of from vanilla sorta from vanilla not really not really there are some things in here like for instance this guy right here this plastic surgeon there's a free-traders plastic surgeon right here I am super happy to see a plastic surgeon here why do I say that because Plastic Surgeons if you're a content creator you know you need to name your characters you need to rename people and sometimes you get recruits and it doesn't let you recruit it doesn't let you name them right away and it's very very very helpful so I'm extremely thankful that they put those in hopefully there's a lot of them all over the world but it makes it easier for content creators to essentially rename their characters right because yeah we're trying to pay tribute to you guys who are really the reason we do this right and so I just thank you so much to the modders for I know whether that was intentional or not or you know if you had testing purposes in mind or if you had content creators in mind but either way whether you had us in mind or not I really am so thankful that you guys did that I really appreciate it thank you so much oh dude we got some backpacks in here guys I don't know if I'll ever buy any of these but I kind of really want to write because check this out like these are totally different bags than in vanilla what is this oh it's a bolt quiver I've never even used that mod that's super cool because I think that allows you to take more stacks of bolts right I'm not sure we should try one out we should definitely try one out that seems pretty sweet yeah I think we should just get one because he doesn't have a backpack right BAM Rex doesn't have a backpack and why wouldn't we just get him one let's do it let's let's do it guys yeah let's let's check it out so I'm guessing we can kind of stack these bolts in here hopefully they stack wait what they don't stack mm-hmm let's exit out of there and let's right-click and try to get these guys know they don't stack really mm-hmm wait on the belt no yeah I'm not really sure well let's take a look at what it looks like or that vendor looks cool I like that Oh neato look at that guys that's really cool I don't know if we'll continue to use it but that is certainly amazing I'm a little disappointed that they don't stack I guess it makes sense because it might be a little o P if they did stack and there's no combat reduction but I think I would still probably use a thieves backpack on on this character because like oh you can actually put that in there what that's pretty freakin cool I take it all back guys I love this backpack it's a little small for my taste but it's it's pretty cool like I think this is it's really neat to see that there's stuff like this available in the game now it's really cool it's just you know the more choices you can give the the user and you don't want too much variety cuz then it becomes hard to pick but definitely having some some variety and choices is pretty cool very cool guys very well done and then I didn't want to kind of check out these other bags but I didn't you know like this one but I don't want to buy that and maybe once we have somebody that you know is more of a heavy that we can kind of like carry that around we'll check some of that stuff out because we're not necessarily beta - or I should say alpha testing because it is now four at least we're not really alpha testing this as much as we are making just sort of a series on it and featuring it but we will try to explore some of this stuff along the way I think we're more interested in the interactions between the towns the assaults the raids whatever you know NPC dialogue and stuff like that we will check out items of course but I think the items that we do check out will probably be the ones that make sense for us to check out and you can see here this this is a ration pack I was talking about earlier this actually has 125 nutrition units and it's it costs 886 so it is not quite as good of a price as buying the the gohan but we're running a little bit I guess we're not running low on food I actually bought some dried meat and some rice and stuff so we'll stick to that we don't need to get one of those yet but that's certainly when you have plenty of money - especially that is a really good way to pack down the food because look at that it's a two by two and it holds 125 nutritional units it's absolutely fantastic check this out guys there's actually there's actually an Akron I temple here so it looks like I mean obviously we knew they were aqua night you know or at least okay with with that religion anyway they may not be oppressing other races and and women because I noticed a Scheck were in the town so as so I think well maybe I didn't actually I'd have to pay closer attention maybe I was thinking of the other town will pay close attention to that I don't see anybody right now that sticks out maybe we can just take a look here what do we got here why can't I wish it would tell me I mean I can see the horns right so it's obviously a Scheck so it looks like they are aqua Knights similar to how the I can't think of the name the flotsam ninjas right like they're they they do allow aqua knights to live there but they're not they're not prejudiced in the same way that the holy nation is right the holy nation is kind of awkward i'ts they're aqua knight extremists right so you guys probably already know that I'm just saying it for the new players who don't know and I'm trying to keep myself fresh you know try to keep my knowledge on well this is kind of cool guys we've sort of ended up kind of coming up to this abandoned settlement here I'm not really sure what's going on with it maybe there'll be some lore or something that we can find over in that other town I just looks like I was kind of holding down alt here right looking for stuff that we could pick up but I don't see anything there's no weapons or any building materials or anything like that that we can sell so I don't think we're gonna spend a lot of time here but I just kind of want to show you guys it's kind of neat there's just sort of this broken down settlement now I don't know if there's any mechanics in this mod overhaul to where you can kind of take this stuff over that would be cool right like so if we could come in here and instead of just building our own base we could come in here and sort of restore all these buildings and have our faction move in that'd be pretty sweet oh look at this what's this there's some kind of building over here priory of Akron well well well well I say we head in here dudes let's check it out who are these guys cult of narco what would you guys know I'd like to say that whoa all right listen I'm gonna select both of these guys and I'm gonna tell them to run as fast as they can just in case cuz I don't know what's going on in here oh yeah they don't like us I don't think they do anyway do they they they seem okay they don't seem to be ticked off that we're in here okay well let's check it out then let's go upstairs maybe whoa what is this bezel core there's no dialogue option here so wait what I swear I just saw yeah it doesn't it looks like there's maybe during the day we'll have to talk to him or something I'm not really sure or maybe they won't talk to us because we're Scheck or something let's take a look at this armor here oh he looks like he's got a cannibal paint job interesting I don't recognize that chest plate it looks similar to the ones that the holy nation where alright so just gonna quickly point this out here just in case the devs are watching it's not a super big deal but like whatever the pathfinding is it's going on here the character clearly wants to walk through these two objects but because the clearance is not high enough they can't actually get through and so they just get stuck so you have to manually get them out of there and that's fine but maybe move these farther apart from each other so that that doesn't happen because if I'm you know if I'm in here and I try to tell these guys to move somewhere that's like over here or whatever the character won't move right so I have to manually go over here and move Mountain that's fine we just wanted to bring that to your guys attention just in case you end up watching all right guys I just wanted to chime in here with what I believe is in addition to the mod that kind of scared me here because it said discovered Harold's field and then I saw this holy military base here now we are a shack and a skeleton that's not that's not conducive to good health for us at all we can't go through there now I don't believe that existed in vanilla right because I've taken this path many many times to go to where we're going and anybody who knows ken she you can see now where I'm going right now so you probably can get kind of clued in here a little bit as to who I'm gonna bring into the team potentially maybe not but for those of you don't know I'm gonna leave it as a surprise but I would strongly suggest in this mod if you are in the early stages of the game avoid this holy military base at all costs if you are anything but a green Lander and yeah don't don't go close to that holy military base so we're gonna avoid that for now and I will take a different path than I usually do we are also going to check out Harold's field here once we get our new recruit and yeah looking forward to seeing what that is because I that wasn't in vanilla either I don't believe so I mean there probably be things that I think weren't in vanilla that were that I just didn't discover because I'm exploring a little bit more now but yeah let me know I'm pretty sure this is new and yeah so I'm gonna we're definitely gonna check it out after we get our new dude all right guys we are in the dead lands we just entered the dead lands you notice it's raining that's just not that's not just any rain for those of you who are new to kaanchi okay beware when you come here that is acid rain and funny enough this guy VAM Eric's right cuz he's a skeleton he's immune to acid rain Ruka however is not but you'll notice it says acid rain protection a hundred percent I didn't do that on purpose it just actually ended up going like that I was a little worried that she's gonna take some damage but I had no idea that we had already like all of her gear let's just check this out for reference right her pants black leather skirt 10% asset protection scrap metal hat 60% asset protection asset protection on the black play check of 40% so it ended up being 110% total which is amazing I had I did not plan that by the way it just actually ended up happening so one thing to be aware of is now it doesn't matter and this is why I want to be fast by the way because there are skeletons now there may be more here than I'm expecting right because I'm reused to vanilla but you see all these these skeletons here they when I mouse over them they are not red the icon does not go red they are not active so we don't need to worry about them however sometimes these these not skeletons I should say I mean they do belong to the skeleton faction but they are that's where we're going by the way black desert city for those of you just saw that pop up some of these guys are awake and they will appear red and we mouse over them now they move very slowly at least they did in vanilla they move at 11 miles per hour so you don't really need to worry about them as long as you don't run into them however it is possible that there are more dangerous enemies in this mod I don't know I did not peruse through the mod in FCS which is the Forgotten construction step for those of you who aren't familiar with it if you ever want to play around to make your own mods that's the way to do it and there are lots and lots of people on the kaanchi discord who are very very helpful with that law there's been so many people lovely lovely people that have just really been so helpful to myself rod amonst abouts all the content creators I'm sure have at some point gotten just absolutely wonderful help from these people they're so very kind and they give us a lot of their time and I really appreciate it we can't be close to careful when we get close to these that looks something about this looks uncomplete guys or I should say incomplete right with an eye and rather than a you yeah so here's what they look like right we saw this in the other town but you got to be careful these guys right because if you algorithm they are on the harpoons we don't want to aggro those guys right now because we will get absolutely destroyed by those are so we want to give them a wide berth if we can and try not to Agri them whatsoever and we will notice our character portraits of course flashing if we do algorithm but yeah that definitely in case anybody who's the dev was watching that definitely looks like a an incomplete asset which you know I have added a couple other mods now so maybe something due to that but I would my guess would be it's just something that's incomplete so we should expect to see stuff like that guys no big deal we knew it was an alpha going in right so let's appreciate the good report the bad and not not give them grief about it let's be thankful for all the hard work they're doing all right so this is black desert city and let's go ahead and oh we already have sped it up a little bit here I guess I'm used to running on 3x sometimes they're running at like 30 30-plus miles an hour we also discovered the scrap house which is a very very nice place to to get very good year you can get all kinds of stuff like edge type 3 and whatnot up there very expensive so if you have a lot of money that is a good place to go shopping so let's just kind of take a look at the town here it looks pretty similar to vanilla I'll see what are people saying here why are you here human nothing there nothing here there's nothing for you here um I wonder if it matters if we're controlling VAM rex I want to try to do some talking with BAM Rex because I think camel mentioned that there might be some dialogue issues that I should test well there could be she didn't say there would be she just was curious because the race group was changed I believe so we'll do some talking with VAM in fact I think what we'll do I think what we'll do is basically put Ruka on follow here and she can catch up she won't be as fast but that's okay so let's do some talking with VAM here and see what his dialogue looks like what's this guy look oh cool it's a scout skeleton very nice very nice you can see this is I think a p4 unit I don't know which one I know there's different models of them but it does you can tell that the head I think is the same head that like Catlin has I believe and that's a p4 yeah look at this armor pretty cool guys pretty cool it looks really cool actually on this Scout unit very nice these guards look pretty epic okay let's go ahead and talk to this guy I just want to give you a quick Oh what what is this what is this a cybernetic device made from old world technology the shield model provides full-body coverage the higher the mark the stronger the shield uh what does this go in the oh I feel like we should buy one of these but we don't have the money to buy any of this guys oh look at this this we might be able to there's still seven thousand they'll holy crap these are expensive so my guess is guys that the sense they're two by two right they probably go in the belt slot what I would like to know is now this stuff isn't doesn't really apply because it's just martial arts and dodge and all that but for the ones I'm looking for one that has movement speed on it or a tax beat or something oh man these are cool this is a way of rebalancing skeletons I'm assuming which I'm very happy to see I'm very happy to see that cuz then I don't have to worry about unlocking the head slot unlock and the shirt slot trying to you know make them a little bit stronger because late-game the skeletons have a little bit of a disadvantage being able to be you know basically one shot by harpoons and stuff like that in the head it's not not very often cuz you got 200 HP but they can get one-shot Kayode right because there are things that can hit you for 400 damage or 350 or so well is your cool so what okay my question to the devs or anybody that knows this I guess maybe I could look in FCS I don't know where to look for this but I'd like to know where this damage resistance fits in because if you guys noticed it so it shows coverage on everything right where does that fit in I guess it doesn't really matter in layering because it doesn't have a cut resistance efficiency which means it so you notice that the top out says light armor class it says blunt resistance 49 percent cut resistance 72 percent because it doesn't have a cut resistance efficiency what that means it's it's a hundred percent so none of the resisted cut damage will get converted into blunt damage and bypass your layers so it may not matter as much what the order of this or where this damage reduction gets applied in the order of right I still would like to know I still would like to know we're in the order it fits so if any devs are watching this or anybody who knows where to look in the FCS let me know kind of what layer this is right does it is it applied before the head like is it it cuz usually it goes head then armor then shirt then pants and boots right shirts and pants and boots so maybe the belt is applied first I don't know but if you happen to know what order these are used in please let me know I'd love to know and once we have like 20k to spare we're coming back man cuz these are awesome I hope I hope they put those on NPCs as drops to like on the more powerful skeletons that you might fight that would be rad and I hope they do that okay what else we got here in town looks like we got a bar and we got a wait what shop is this it's a cybernetic shop but it looks like there's another one over here it's a robotic shop okay so that's a cybernetic shop and then I think probably the robotic shop is where we would get stuff like cybernetic limbs so let's go take a look and see what kind of cybernetic limbs they have cuz they have the best cybernetic limbs in this town usually in the world of Ken Chi so let's see if that kind of like oh I didn't want to I don't want to steal good thing I wasn't holding on all a human okay so apparently they think we're a human so I'm guessing that the camel spider if you happen to be watching this you wanted to know kind of what the dialogue is like well when my more X's talking to this vendor the vendor and you did mention if they think you're a human that it probably the dialogue hasn't been properly referenced yet because the race changed so looks like it so a human it's not every day I get a human customer but sure I've got plenty of parts that should fit you fine indeed did you travel all the way here just for some just for my expertise gosh I'm flattered I don't blame you though human flesh is good for nothing but rotting that's brewed rude that's like me telling you metals not good for anything but rusting it's just rude where was I going with this right and that was it I guess you're looking to buy some parts I should yeah or maybe you're looking for some repairs I can fix anything trust me years of experience everybody thinks they're a robotics expert these days I bet not me I'm not confused about that I stick to software but they've gotten nothing on the robotics capital of the land believe you me you were right to pilgrimage hundreds of my just to seek me out I am really good at this stuff where was I going with this ah show me what you've got see what they've got looks like pretty much vanilla limbs so no overpowered Juiz I do love Juiz by the way regardless of whether it's overpowered or not I would like to see if Juiz has ever incorporated I'd like to see the NPCs have a random chance to be using Juiz limbs or limbs in general right like if I can get cybernetic limbs the people that I'm running into in the world should also be able to buy cybernetic limbs to replace limbs that they've lost in combat at some point if they don't die etc so be cool to see that'd be really cool to see that and that may already be there and I just haven't seen it so that's another store we have what else we got we have one more store here to take a look at the bar let's get in there guys oh yeah look at all these skeletons in the bar baby look at this look at this mm-hmm who do we got here who do we got anybody special whoa this guy is not very happy oh these are metal bone pirates swish shows I love you this is awesome I'm so happy to see this I wasn't expecting it but yeah this is pretty sweet man sad Neil is here still okay that's cool let's check out what they've got at the bar I'm guessing probably fuel and stuff right show me what you've got I should have read that maybe guys sorry about that so we got electrical components we got skelter and parrots that's great and we got some grog that's important because these guys are pirates and they like alcohol even if it's just for cleaning their parts we got fuel which if you don't know gasoline is also a solvent which will clean robotics parts potentially I don't know if that's why they have it but yeah that's story I'm going with now I'm not seeing any I'm not seeing any of the guys that I'm looking for I do see Taran here so we can potentially go talk to him who is this this is a scout okay that's cool that's cool so that's possibly potentially a recruit that we can grab I don't know it looks like we could talk to him who else do we got up here all right we got oh all right well I am not seeing the person that I'm looking for so I may have to search around a little bit to see if I can find him all right guys we're finally here and what we need to do this is the scrap house by the way particularly the map here you can kind of see that the scrap house is sorta just east on this little point here from black desert city but it's it's a little confusing the first time I came here I don't know what that guy was doing you have to go to the second floor and so that's where we're going we're just kind of because we don't we want to check out the scrap house but I'm also I think maybe this is where the recruit is because it we couldn't find it in the other part of the town and so what you do is go up to floor one and then click on the inside and then that will send your character up there this we can follow Ruka as she goes up here oh yeah and there he is Lionhead ha another drifter here to employ the great lion head maybe what are you charging for a scant ten thousand cats I'll join your squad he won't regret and the funny thing is is I had no idea how much this recruit costs like I knew they were here because I had seen this is one of camel spiders modded characters by the way and so I with comes with her mark three and mark four skeleton package really amazing Mon and you know of course da fake head of course requested a lion head and so here we are picking him up and I couldn't find it for the life of me but the thing is is that the stats I took a little bit of liberty with the stats here so all right let's make a deal oh I wonder if we can can we talk them down I wonder 10,000 cats are you crazy I get three new squad members for that fine three thousand cats but I want a new sword oh that's I had no idea actually so that's cool one thousand cats and I'm changing your name are you kidding agreed please just let me let me out of here I'm going bonkers in this wasteland deal ok guys so here we are working on two fake welcome to the team a man welcome to the team so glad to have you this is really amazing guys now I'm gonna give you a little bit of in info cuz you guys all had so every single story that everybody submitted was super amazing and it was actually really hard for me to kind of decide who comes in first you know because it is it's one of those things where like I want everybody to be in right now but I want I've got some really cool stuff I want to do with character intros but you guys have already seen of course and I wanted I wanted this sort of like do that for every character and that's gonna take a long time to do and so I can't bring everybody in at the same time but every time we bring somebody in I want you to read the Baxter I want to read to you the backstory just in case you missed in the comments of the character that we're bringing in so here's the fakes backstory the fake was involved in an experiment by of catlins mad scientist's his CPU is reprogrammed to make him believe he was a Scheck he became a Scheck extremist who believes in honor above all else he's reluctant to trust anyone who is not Scheck he will challenge anyone he deems to be dishonorable even when outnumbered many sheykh admire his bravery despite seeing him as crazy Ruka was a close friend before she was Dishonored - fakes honorbound programming created distance between them eventually he started to have doubts about Ruka reserving her mark of dishonor upon questioning you this belief to fake asked to accompany Ruka and her little skeleton on their adventure he wanted to see for himself as she deserves such a fate so now guys I took a little bit of Liberty with the wording hopefully you guys don't take offense of that your guys's stuff is beautiful and and I I just had to sort of reword it a little bit because I'm gonna read it to you guys right and so absolutely fantastic job on the story I really appreciate you submitting it man this is absolutely awesome I'm super glad to have you here and I'm looking forward to the next person we're gonna bring in oh I don't need the apostrophe s there that's kind of funny I'm glad I didn't hit enter there so I don't know if I'm pronouncing your name right let me know if I am it's it's de fake as himself and welcome to the team dude super awesome let's take a look at your gear here and see what you got real quick you've got a katana a model refitted blade not bad not bad you got some plated two drifters leather pants they do affect your athletics but that's okay we can handle that and you've got some Assassin's rags looking sharp dudes looking sharp so now I did take a little bit of Liberty with the stats on the character okay so please camel spider don't murder me but the character did originally come with 35 and all stats and I want our characters to start reasonably weak and the reason I want that is because I want everyone to kind of start on the same playing field nah dude there's a little bit of variance in the stats so I changed them from 35 to 15 and they do have a variance of up to 5 and so it could have gone up to 20 right and so Amelia tech E&C is almost 20 and I wanted essentially I looked at kind of where our characters are now and they're really not even up to that so I thought it would be okay for him to be a little bit stronger than the rest because he's old but I don't want I don't want to bring in powerful characters guys I want I want you guys to have to struggle through this together right you want you guys to have to be a team work together and get strong and so that's what we're doing now as far as the next character submission goes you guys have already submitted a ton of you have already submitted characters more coming in even as I'm filming this so I'm gonna be taking a look at that here in a minute what I'm looking for in terms of deciding who comes in right now I'm starting with likes whatever your character submission gets now that's a little unfair to the people who are submitting new stories because a lot of you guys who have already watched the first episode you probably aren't going back and looking at stories and liking them right I would really appreciate if you guys would take just a few minutes to do that if you have the time if you don't I totally understand it's all good but if you have the time and you're willing to go back and look at some of those stories now that you've already submitted yours give those people the same courtesy that others were giving you and please go through and the stories that you really like go ahead and thumbs up um now I'm looking for the number of likes on that that submission I'm also looking for the number of comments that you've made in total right so if you comment on this video if you comment it on the last video now junk comments I'm not even gonna count them right if you just say hi I'm not gonna count that right now I appreciate that but I'm not gonna count that towards your story score now what I am an account on your story score is if like look at the fake and you'll if you go through the comments you'll see why he won he was commenting constantly on other people's stories not just his own he responded to me and we would go back and forth kind of working out his story asking questions he would answer him he would ask me questions etc and if you look at if you look at what he said to other people about their stories and there were other people as well doing the same thing commenting oh yeah that sounds like a really good idea maybe you could do this to tie the character and so the more collaborative you get the more you comments and the more people like your comments so I'm gonna go through and I'm gonna look at every comment that's related to a back story whether it's yours or someone else's and the number of likes that that gets and I'm including a heart from me also as an extra like so if you get a like and a heart for me that's two points if you get a like from another person that's that's a point so give other people likes if you want to see their stories in the game give them likes if you like the feedback that people are giving you on your story and and you appreciate their feedback give them a because that's gonna give them points towards their story submission right and so essentially we want to get the people who are the most helpful and the most creative on their stories the combination of those two things we want those people's stories to come to the top and it doesn't make anybody else's stories any less amazing it just means that we I'm really trying to promote collaboration and activity in the comments because guys the reason I'm doing that guy is one of the reasons I won I want you guys to to flush out your stories I love that the other reason is because the more collaboration you guys do in the comments the more it helps the video actually get moved up higher in the search rankings and that helps me which means I can make you guys more content I can spend more time making you higher quality content so the more that you do that the more you guys chat in the comments meaningfully about the actual video and about the stories that we're about to bring in that I mean like I said the video got a thousand percent the results of my normal because of you guys so keep it up guys you guys have been amazing I can't wait we're in our next episode we're gonna be looking for the next recruit so get active on those stories guys make sure you go interact with each other in the comments regarding storyline regarding your character creation etc and we'll see where it goes guys I'm I'm looking forward to seeing what de fake can do in the next episode potentially finding our next recruit potentially bringing them into the story I'm gonna I loved reading these stories guys and I'm gonna keep sharing them keep it up you guys are amazing absolutely loving it I can't wait to see what we've what we've got in store for the next episode man this has been an absolute treasure for me to to go through and read all of your your stories so keep it up absolutely keep it up and keep keep communicating with each other keep communicating with me and we'll get you in here man I'm loving it so anyways guys stay tuned and thank y'all so much for watching I had a ton of fun with you dudes today if you couldn't tell I'm super hyped and have you guys had as much fun as I did let me know by crushing that like button and stayin active in the comments with each other and giving each other love and thank you all so much for the support it means the world to me and as
