Of all the great sandbox games out there, Kenshi achieves the dream of unbridled exploration and freedom better than most. It is up to the player what kind of character they will be in the post-apocalyptic desert: a trader, bandit, merchant, survivalist, slaver, killer, bounty hunter, warlord, or something else entirely. The only real limit on what the player can become is their own imagination, assuming, that is, that the desert doesn't kill them first.
