He literally went insane and should have reset his CPU. He should have talked to humans instead of reacting in violence against all humans without provocation. The cult would have been proven wrong and eventually wiped out since the majority of humanity would see cat lon protecting them and showing them mercy.
@@Rasengangstarr agreed, perhaps someone could add when we bring Cat Lon alive into Spring and jail him, Tinfist would approach to interact with Cat Lon, perhaps Tinfist could have said a good bye then end Cat Lon there
No there shouldn't be any interaction with between the two. Tinfists friend Cat-lon had been dead for a thousand years or more. Tinfist has nothing to say to the thing that was Cat-lon. Tinfist's silence speaks more than his words would. Tinfist buried his friend centuries ago figuratively (or literally, Tinfist could have fought him and thats what pushed Cat-lon further along that path of seeing betrayal everywhere, Tinfist sided with the humans). By Tinfist talking to Cat-lon, Tinfist is admitting that he let his friend suffer for so long alone and afraid. That he abandoned his friend when that friend needed the most help. The lack of interaction between the two might be an oversight but in terms of reality there is nothing more human than ignoring your mistakes even when they are standing in front of you.
I hope Kenshi 2 is the first empire then a 3rd could be the 2nd empire. I really would prefer to see the start of it all instead of going from end to middle to probably never the beginning. Since we already know basically all the lore of the 2nd empire.
I like to think that Stobe brought down the Eye. Looking at Venge, I think the purpose was to scour the earth. Leave nothing left alive, as skeletons of course need nothing but the metal to prosper. Perhaps he fell trying to take out the "Other One", as some Skeletons call it. Either way, with the fall of the Eye, it seems it doesn't venture out of Venge. Perhaps that's due to an error, as consequence of losing one. Or perhaps it was an order given, seeing Stobe's sacrifice, for the device to halt. Perhaps it wasn't built with such an 'off' function, and so the only way to get it to cease its work was to order it to perpetually circle, scorching Venge into unlivable nothingness. Whatever brought down the Eye must've been mighty. And likewise, whatever had bested Stobe. I think these two fit together well.
Skeletons are almost like the doctor from doctor who. Redundancies build up causing feedback loops that turn into mental diseases. Basically human minds inside robot bodies, all the senses but no input when using them. So they have to reset, losing all their skills (starting the game as a skeleton that has been alive for thousands of years but with level 1 in everything?) and basically becoming a new person with the same memories. Now look at Cat-lon the "greatest" warrior of the world, ruling an empire, committing to strobes goal of protecting humanity. In the end he couldn't reset, the emperor starting over with no charisma or strength, no he couldnt or the empire would fall and his people would suffer. In the end the psychosis won as it often does, many a hero king in real life succumbed to its grip. I suffered sever brain damage that changed almost everything about my personality, so I feel for the skeletons. Looking back at a past that isn't yours anymore is one of the saddest things I've ever experienced.
I knew Kenshi lore before playing, but after joining the Anti-Slavers and finding out that Cat-Lon and Tinfist are not only the same generation of bots, but old friends driven apart genuinely hurt me. I mean, Tinfist is still fighting the good fight and suffering in the far reaches of the inhabitable middle territories, and Cat-Lon is basically a decaying remnant of his own mind, unable to see that his thralls have more than recreated slavery. They once fought together for freedom, and Tinfist is forced to watch as one of his best friends chose to subjugate their own people rather than let the rebellion of robots pursue their own fate beyond the restrictions of the old empires. Tinfist probably watched as his fellow bots were rewritten in front of him, programmed to kill at Cat-Lon's will, and realized that his companion is gone and a resentful madman has taken control of any chance of their people ever being free of someone's control.
Just recently got into Kenshi and I have been binge listening to lore videos at work for the past week, your vidoes have been some of the highest tier especially your region lores, I wish there were more but I’m sure it’s a monumental task to compile a full video for more regions. We’re eagerly awaiting your return if you ever feel like diving back into content making for Kenshi or anything else!
Kenshi players will see Catlon lament the fact that he couldn't build a utopia despite everything and yet still they'll make paragraphs on reddit about how akshually they could do it
In the world of Kenshi, I still view Cat-Lon as a protector. I mean, imagine how fucking hard it would be if every start had you fighting thrall skeletons. Regardless of the past, he's STILL basically saving the whole continent from ruin by maintaining his loose control on the thralls. Like, name a group who could defeat them that doesn't consist of characters like Tinfist, Lord Phoenix, the Hive Queens, and Beep, it's basically impossible without grinding for so long that your PC is probably just as insane as Cat-Lon.
If you (as a skeleton) talk to Elder of the Skeleton Bandits, he actually mocks Stobe, twisting the memory of Stobe's sacrifice into a reason to incite hatred against humanity.
the second empire rotted away. so why arent there more ruins and working tech from that time? And what interests me more is what cause the famine? how come with all their tech they couldnt stop it? Also, why didnt cat-lon thrall the general or the agriculture dude?
Cat long when he was emperor of the 2. Empire send a bomb to destroy the humans how rebelde against him so he can build his utopia but behemoth sacreficed himself by letting the bomb detonate on him.
@@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290 Because Tinfist sides with the non-Okran humans during Cat-Lons crackdown. It continues to modern times in Kenshi, Tinfist is with the rebels(Anti-Slavers and Rebel Farmets) trying to throw off the United Cities yoke.
I don't think tin fist did really loose his mind. He's still fighting the same fight that he was fighting 1000 years ago, just trying to make life on Kenshi better. It's just addresses the fact that the world has changed and the problems he has to fight have too. He just lets being a celebrity/superhero get to his head a little bit.
Good video, up till you compared Strobe to Jesus 🙄👎 don't even know what he did or didn't do and you go and compare him to our Lord and Savior. That, on top of called them beyamoths and annoying voice, is good enough for me to block you, please kindly do the same, thanks.
