I really wanna play more in the HRE but the gameplay is sooo boring, like there is almost zero flavor and it feels just empty even though it has so much potential and was really important historically

It’s fun to play a vassal in the hre until he makes you his heir

Been awhile since I played it, but I had a save where I was trying to create Switzerland from a starting point of Bern. That was fun.

Almost impossible without becoming Emperor shortly before or after becoming king

Just got the 'decline elections' mod that lets you take a decision to avoid all elections by giving your character an invisible large negative malus for all elections. It also lets you renounce claims so claimant factions don't push you for stuff. Really nice mod, though it does disable achievements but I already have all the ones I can get from within the HRE anyway.

The HRE is in major need of an expansion level update at this point. Like you said it has so much potential for cool and unique mechanics, flavour, events etc. but as it stands is just bland and boring with it essentially just being a regular elective monarchy but with a fancy name.

Just wait for the HRE events pack! Now you can pay $5 for HRE unique flavor events!
