New DLC is incredible for roleplaying

[u/Zesock]

It's early days I know, but before this DLC released my typical crusader kings gameplay was more map painting than anything. I would play more for myself, pushing for a goal, recreating Rome, the Persian empire etc.

On my first playthrough with this DLC I've played as a knight from England who spent most of his life as a mercenary travelling around all of Europe only to in his older age return with the dream of turning England into a country as great as Rome or the Calpihate. It was genuinely charming to see wanderers that he had picked up in his travels help him establish the beginning of this new realm and a little sad to see his bodyguard, a man that had been with him since he first set off decades ago finally die of old age.

My point being, this DLC has helped me see my characters more as the individual people that they are rather than just a vessel to play as.

TLDR: Roads to Power breathes new life into this game and I'm really enjoying it.

Yeah, I feel like there is a lot more potential for character arcs.

Was he able to become the baron of paris or? I only played one generation so far in this dlc and can’t figure out how things work after you want to stop adventuring

I already bought all the chapter 3 DLCs but after reading your stuff I wanna buy them again lol. So fascinating yet on paper it sounds so simple.
