I love the combat/exploration barks, too. Sneaking into a ripper camp, and Sam starts ranting under his breath through clenched teeth about how despicable these people are. It adds some nice seasoning to the whole experience.
If you can get past the kind of… weird control scheme…
The game is basically a single player mmorpg.
You start off as an absolute weakling, and there is no … scaling, the way most other rpgs either generally have certain levelled enemies in certain areas, that you progress through linearly or unlock sequentially, or just an outright whole world spanning dynamic level matching kind of system.
You can be battling a small beast… and then a herd of very, very much more dangerous beasts, or slavers, will just happen to pass by, and royally fuck up your day.
Every character in the game, including you, plays by the same rules.
All major NPCs can be killed, the game is also full of varying factions with varying alignments towars other factions, and they will treat your character differently based on your race, the kinds of actio s you do, your reputation with other factions.
The storytelling is … a sandbox/emergent approach. Not in the sense of ‘there are no story lines or quests’… but in the sense of… a whole lot of stuff is out there, but you have to self direct yourself to go out and find it, or randomly encounter it.
Also, you can gain allies, make your own faction, and control a small army… and you can even build your own settlement, and economically interact with the rest of the world.
… Its… kind of hard to describe.
There really aren’t any other games quite like Kenshi.
Its got a good sized modding scene, and it incorperates at least some elemenrs of… every game you mentioned.
If you use a mod to up your max follower/faction member count… you can basically play the game as an RTS (with pause). Build a settlement, recruit followers (or enslave them), arm them, fees them, train them up, and go take over a city if you want.
… Or play basically solo, just you and your bonedog, maybe as a bounty hunter for hire, or a hashish smuggler, or get a pack animal and run a trade caravan.
I really enjoyed it even if the story was a bit bad in some parts (not sure but I remember the beginning being pretty bad). I’d be happy to play a second one if it happened to be developped.
A lot of people missed it when it launched it came out on the heels of the last of us so people assumed it was a clone, it was also massively bugged on launch. The upcoming TV version has renewed interest in it though so depending on how that does we may get a sequel. Also did you know there are hidden clues it may be the same world as syphon filter?
I think you might like ‘Rogue Trader’, even if you don’t know anything about the 40K universe. Cool story, choices and fights.
Don’t worry too much about not knowing the background lore. The game contextualizes a lot in dialogues and even little mouseovers. But be careful, if you like SciFi, you might fall into the awesomely rich and grim rabbit hole, that is Warhammer 40K.
I didn’t liked it when I played on PS4 and I quit a couple hours in, but a couple of years later I played it on PC and loved it, put around 70 hours in it. It’s a pity that we don’t get to see a sequel and I understand why, but it is still a very fun game.
The exception code you are getting appears to indicate some code is trying to execute something very low level (e.g. direct device access) when it isn’t allowed.
This isn’t a widespread issue, so it seems reasonable to assume that it is specific to your machine.
My guesses are:
Corrupt game files, try deleting the user data for the game. Not sure where that lives.
Corrupt install but I think you’ve addressed that.
Corrupt windows, a scan disk check might repair something.
Corrupt drivers:
Fresh install of GPU drivers, using amd’s tool or ddu.
Update chipset drivers if there are any.
Disable or uninstall anything that controls additional devices. E.g. led or fan controllers like Armoury crate or MSI afterburner.
Any other app that injects itself into the process. Game overlay, antivirus. Amd adrenaline does this, as can steam and gamebar.
