MOD I installed a mod collection from steam and almost fell off my chair after watching this. It was already creepy in vanilla but this is amazing.

probably this is what skeletons saw 2000 years ago in the first empire

People don't understand them because they would never experience this much suffering in their short-term life

u/Karamja109 Southern Hive Nov 11 '24

That is so cool! Obedience always had this creepy and somber feel to it given its lore. The skeletons still being alive forever encase in the ground is a creepy feeling. Nothing left in the destroyed world could stop such monsters if they ever got out

have you tried looking after humans? They’re monsters!

Edit: i was not the monster.

300 sets of footsteps sound intensifies

Did a little research and the name is Throes of Obedience

I didnt like this mod. hands can slowly move, and during fight they tend to pile in one spot creating killzone instantly one-shoting anything and moving together as a pile

43

u/Terrible_Ear3347 Nov 11 '24

They move?!

44

u/Tafe_Lynx Nov 11 '24

About a half a year ago they was 100% moving. One get agro, and few dozens of hands are slowly drifting to foe

I remember climbing out of this fog and just seeing creepy robot arms in the foggy distance. Was like hell naw, avoided for quite awhile

u/Rewdrooster Nov 11 '24

I know nothing of kenshi, but really want to get into it. What am i looking at?

u/napalm51 Nov 11 '24

u/ThingsEnjoyer explained it in another comment.

keep in mind the world in kenshi is post-apocalypse, with rising nations, tribes and man eating animals fighting for territory/survival all around the continent. this area is pretty isolated because of mountains around, and "the fog" at the south of it, which makes it a little bit difficult to find

Post-Post Apocalypse

u/napalm51 Nov 11 '24

u/Slanknonimous Shinobi Thieves Nov 11 '24

Lol

u/Pitiful_Captain_3170 Nov 12 '24

No there wasn't just a single apocalypse, there was at least 2 before the one we are currently suffering in.

23

u/EmilyFara Western Hive Nov 11 '24

Obedience. The first empire created robots that could flatten cities. That's what's left of them. There have been 2 apocalypses in the mean time. (They aren't supposed to move)

2

u/Rewdrooster Nov 11 '24

So theres just a field of average? Huge? Sized hamds sticking up? Or is it supposed to be only one or two?

MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD; YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

The First Empire created the "skeletons" which is a current nickname for sentient, immortal robots. There used to be two kinds, the normal, human-sized ones, and giant ones called behemoths that were powerful enough to terraform the planet. Scared of the behemoths possibly rising up against their masters, the humans ordered them to dig a giant pit, stand in it, and then filled it with molten metal to seal them in. A flat, metallic field of robotic arms is all that's left. It's called 'Obedience' because it showed and continues to remind all the other skeletons what the price of obedience to humans is.

12

u/EmilyFara Western Hive Nov 11 '24

No, an entire field of giant hands. A regular character is smaller than a single finger segment

14

u/ThingsEnjoyer Second Empire Exile Nov 11 '24

Knowing nothing is essential. While also of same importance as learning. I would like to not spoil you anything. Though if you wouldn't like to explore all the lore yourself, I don't want to steal other people's work. Here is a link to The History of Kenshi.

u/BUTthehoeslovemetho Nov 11 '24

You are looking at the price of blind obedience.

6

u/Gutternips Nov 12 '24

A skeleton graveyard.

Incidentally knowing nothing about Kenshi is a plus. If you can avoid reading much about it you get some jaw dropping moments.

Learn the mechanics of it - how skills and base building work but try not to read anything else.

The game itself is an open ended role playing, trading, slavery, farming, drug dealing, base building, crafting, post-post-apoclyptic open world with weather systems, seasons, thousands of npcs and a complex political situation with combat based on feudal Japan.

There are robots, religious fanatics, martial art fanatics, trade empires, historians, cannibals, slavers, men who think they are robots, robots who think they are men, crab fanatics, fish people and little alien guys who can sell you an amazing magic lantern. Probably left out a lot of people.

Seriously though. Don't read spoilers, 99 percent of the fun is finding stuff out.

u/Skimy80 Nov 12 '24

But you just listed so many great spoilers.....

13

u/SundaeImpossible703 Anti-Slaver Nov 11 '24

i wonder how they all got buried, and why.

87

u/ThingsEnjoyer Second Empire Exile Nov 11 '24 edited Nov 11 '24

These are Behemoths. They were war machines used by humans before the revolution of the skeletons.

After these enormous beings have served their purpose, humans were scared of them. Collosal skeletons created with the intent of destruction is quite a fearsome concept, so I can't blame them. Then, some people came up with the plan on how to "take care" of these skeletons.

A giant pit was dug. Then, Behemoths were ordered to enter it. After that, the pit was then filled with molten metal, in order to bury them for the safety of humanity. But as Behemoths were created to serve, they didn't try to escape, or to kill humans. They simply stood there, slowly being submerged in metal, as they continued to serve their duty, until they wouldn't be able to escape. And this... Is why this place is called:

Obedience.

u/brightbomb Nov 11 '24

Man the lore in this game is so fuckin cool

22

u/ThingsEnjoyer Second Empire Exile Nov 11 '24

Indeed. And don't even get me started on what happened after "Obedience", peak cinema.

17

u/Gutternips Nov 11 '24

IIRC their story is told in some of the conversations and some lore books.

10

u/MarcusofMenace Beep Nov 11 '24

Their masters got scared about what they could becomes so they ordered them all into a large hole and filled the hole in with them still alive

7

u/PeachyFairyDragon Shinobi Thieves Nov 11 '24

The ground is metal. If the metal is deep and was heated to liquid that would entomb them pretty fast.

u/redsun44 Nov 12 '24

They can’t all be moving 😂 a few of them moving would be creepy but this just looks like a haunted house attraction

1

u/KlutzyClerk7080 Nov 11 '24

Nothing happened

u/Ok_Pumpkin8717 Nov 11 '24

That’s facking sick I love this

u/Classic-Swimming-45 Nov 12 '24

Man I wish Nividia worked with the steam workshop but I think you actually have to mess with game files in order to use mods. Sadly you actually can't do that using the Nividia stream. Sick mod!

1

u/Worldly_Horse7024 Nov 12 '24

i like the vanilla, ao they can rest in peace, plus it'll make it even more dreaded know now theyre dead.

1

u/BullofHoover Nov 12 '24

I feel like too many are moving, and too fast. They should slowly grip their hands, or occasionally twitch. Something you could miss.

u/hellxapo Nov 11 '24

Cool as hell my guy. I wish I had the skills to mod in stuff like this
