To the town of Agua Fria crawled a stranger one fine day. Hardly spoke to folks around him. Didn't have too much to say. No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip. For the stranger there among them had no legs upon his hips.
Honestly, Kenshi is also one of the only games I can think of aside from something like rimworld where sometimes you *WANT* to loose a limb because you can replace it with more powerful robotic ones.
Fun fact: Torsolo almost means "Torsalo" in spanish, which is a Botfly. Torsalo larvae squirm so much I hate to admit that I chuckled way to much at the similarity.
@@jaskapenttila7644 I suppose you're correct, then we could say "the part that people despise to eat and usually throw away" that's the torsolo...... yep, still makes me laugh after 2 months xD
"Hey Honey, how's our town's favorite officer?" "I'm thinking of reconsidering my career choices..." "Jesus Christ, what happened?" "Today I beat a Quadra-cripple with various blunt objects"
I tried a slaves start recently and I had something to go to so i just went AFK for 8 hours, turns out rebirth gets attacked by skeletons and all the guards died, so I just walked out of slavery, this game is just too easy for the patient.
You got to hand it to Kenshi. I can't think of any other game that lets you start off as a quadriplegic and then progress into becoming a King. Talk about a rough start...
Yes a heart thank you AA. Believe it or not I've been watching you for a while. I remember the rimworld earlier series and all that. I was ecstatic when the spiffing brit gave you a shout out. Keep making videos my good sir
Ok, I read through the comments... and would just like to put my vote down: Don't dismiss Logan, I like checking in on him for a couple seconds every now and then.. Dunno it's just cool. Guess it's like an additional thread to the story. Logan abandoned Torsolo so maybe oneday they meet again and fight to the death because Torsolo is pissed off at him, or they rediscover their friendship... fuck I dunno... but don't just dismiss logan, let him play out.. he dies he dies. but we wanna know lol. fuck man. I'm getting to invested. You always do this to me.
Those guards must have had quite the story at home Wife:"how was your day dear" Guard:"I saw a quadruple amputee waddle around my group for 3 hours like a demented rat...and he was weirdly polite"
My favorite thing is the confidence that AA gives to the character of Torsolo. The idea of this man walking around saying things like “hello my good man” and “watch out hot stepper comin through” is absolutely the perfect characterization
16:23 Imagine casually walking through the city, minding your own buisness, and then crossing path with your sleep paralysys demon sneaking in plain sight
i absolutely love kenshi for the adaptive and interactive world and characters they made, as well as the lore, but i want to have a few choice words with the person who green lighted a single skin for like every building in existence (:
With the finale of Torsolo's journey coming up, I came back to where it all began if only the world of Kenshi had known that the, soon to be, most deadly and dangerous man, was just crawling among them I think the comparison of an anime arc really fits for our hero, he started out at the absolute bottom and made his way up to the top
I don't know if I'm a terrible person or if I have just played kenshi way too much, but seeing a sad sack of potatoes just slither across the desert just makes me smile.
I have not even finished the video and I felt compelled to ask. Where is he putting all these stolen goods? I feel so motivated watching a stump of a man make the best of a bad situation. He is an inspiration to us all!
This entire video is just a town taking pity on poor old Torsolo Also love his catchphrase Torsolo: “Torsolo strikes again!” Rest of town that has let everything get taken to boost his morale: “Aw shucks, fooled again.”
You can actually dismiss squad members from your faction by dragging their icon in the squad menu to the dismiss text on the right, if I recall correctly.
Each to their own. But it's actually better for him to dismiss the hiver. If someone gets stuck in Terrain in Kenshi, loading a save has the option of resetting the player faction's squaddies where your camera is roughly positioned and facing on the ground, so if he doesn't want to deal with the hassle of that whenever a character gets stuck; you get the idea.
i have never heard of this game and this being my first experience with it is probably not the right way to start but it is definitively the best way to start
"I wonder what the townspeople would think if a man such as this one wandered in from the desert, alone etc" In Kenshi? They would probably say; oh shit is Wednesday already?
"Yes, I have paid for my crimes against the state! Reformed am I. Unfortunately there's nothing I can steal from the jail..." Perfect line. :D You're clearly so reformed.
Me: Hey you know about the hidden torso? Friend: Hidden torso? Ohhhhh you must've meant Hidden Tiger! Me: Wh-What? No dude! I'm actually talking about a REAL BONA FIDE hidden torso! He crawls so slowly so you'd think we'd see him a mile away but we can't seem to notice him until he's up close, wiggling around following us for some reason until we out pace him or change directions Friend:......Eh?
I don't even know if you'll see this ambiguous, but i wanted to say it anyways. This year has been a ride for me. I had just gotten into kenshi and was running it on a 9 year old pre built system that cost me $400 at the time that i bought it. I found a channel with a guy playing a torso and fell in love with his style of content creation. Keep being you bud, love your content so much.
Ah, I'm reminded of Reggie Games playthrough of this though he was the first one to do this and he made all major factions hate him because he wanted to suffer. Check him out, he has a small channel and deserves the recognition.
I still remember the exact moment when -- after 8 episodes of being beaten on by Landbats, Skeleton Bandits, goats, etc. -- he finally, _finally_ crawled out of the gauntlet that was Stobe's Gamble and into the safety of Venge. RIP headphone users.
Honestly the way slavers/guards treat you in jail makes sense... they don't let you starve to death, but they don't feed you well either. Just enough to keep you alive basically... however, with how desperate you can end up being in Kenshi sometimes that's better than not going to jail.
Imagine hearing the bell of your shop ring as the door is opened and you see no one enter. Then, you hear a voice talking to you and you look over the counter and you see that
Those manhunters weren't benevolent, they thought "Look at this sack of shit, he's not even worth enslaving. He's dead meat." and went on with their day.
LITERALLY ONE DAY I SAW YOUR VIDEO, I DIND'T SEE IT ALL. THEN MONTHS LATER I WANTED TO SEE THE SERIE, DIND'T FIND IT AND WOW I HAVE IT AT THE START OF TH-cam MONTHS LATER, I'm happy. :)
AmbiguousAmphibian: “Yes… I have paid for my crimes against the state. Reformed am I.” AmbiguousAmphibian literally 1 second later: “Sadly there’s nothing to steal in Jail.”

Imagine, like, 30 people slowly walking behind Torsolo as he crawls forward.

I think not!
Another fun fact: in italian the "torsolo" is the core of the apples.

Don't trust him, torsalo en español no significa una mierda loco jajajajja
Torsolo in italian means stupid too :D
"Fortunately they did leave me my food cube" I've never heard such a depressing thing in my life

Id imagine that torsolo's stealing method is just bumping into things and the items on the shelf fall into his pockets.
His pockets must be huge... he should've just sold his trousers, they seem to fit an infinite bunch of stuff.
The only issue is that once it's in his pockets... it never comes back out. He has no hands to take the stuff out lol

Yeah, I'd be that barman, staring at the barrel of alcohol and wondering if that's all it is xD
Taking all your stuff without arms to grab them!
That mouth and tongue must be strong.
I would imagine it wouldn't be that unusual, considering he sells limbs. In fact, it would be weirder if a client came in and had both legs and arms.

Years of opening prison cells with his tongue eventually led torsolo to a very prosperous marriage and satisfied wife.
"I can remove my legs to be more Stealthy"...

We really need more games like this.
"They don't feed you for doing nothing, but they do give you attention and feed you if you do something bad" why did that hit me so hard

When he first crawled in the gates and was like "is anyone gonna ask me anything? Nope? I wouldn't either..." i absolutely lost it
Ah, the epic journey of Torsolo. I have come back to watch this and the sequel series the TorSquad several times, and I always enjoy it.
