Are we really sure that Skeletons go mad without memory wipes, or is that just their excuse to hide the world's past from organic beings who weren't alive back then? Because in World's End there's that Skeleton (forgot his name) who works as the main assistant of Finch, the leader of the Machinists who sends tech hunters to retrieve lost tech and documents to try and piece together the world's history. If you talk to that Skeleton as a non-Skeleton character and ask him about the past, he'll say how he can't remember anything due to occasional memory wipes. But if you talk to him as a fellow Skeleton and ask the same, he openly admits that he's using his position to sabotage Finch's attempts to uncover lost history and that "we shouldn't worry because the past will remain hidden from organic beings" or something along those lines. It strongly hints that Skeletons don't actually need to reset their memories to avoid going mad, they're all just collectively using it as an excuse to avoid talking about the past, for whatever reason. Maybe they don't want anyone to discover that the Skeletons are the ones responsible for turning Kenshi into a barely habitable wasteland and almost causing human extinction? The exact reason is open for speculation but I think that Finch's Skeleton asisstant in World's End truly proves that Skeletons are all lying about memory wipes.
You should make a video on what you think the lore setting of Kenshi 2 would be like! Like if it'll take place during the hiver "arrival" or second empire and what you think the factions and map will be like. I'd be curious to see your thoughts!
One thing you forgot to mention was his relationship with other relevant skeletons. I remember seeing passive dialogue from skeletons about how him and Tinfist used to be friends.
Cat-Lon went mad because of everything that went on he was most likely in the skeletons vs human war that happened 1000s of years ago he also most likely fought in 100s of wars and 1000s maybe even 10000s of battles than he made a empire and his army did a really and i mean really bad job of ruling which in turn lead to the holy nation forming and that also was a war and than he had to retreat to the ashlands all alone with mindless drones yea i would go mad too if i was in his boots or metal feet?
