There is always something that completely ruins this game!!!

[GeneralZaphod]

OK, I have gone back to this game several times since it came out. Paradox fan, always enjoyed all of them. This one is particularly frustrating. So, doing very well with France in this particular game. My heir is a homosexual. Normally not an issue if you can disinherit to another son. However, in this case I cannot. First, somehow, some way this child is some pawn in thew Byzantine empire. NO IDEA how that happened. Maybe I married them off, and somehow this happened. The problem is I cannot disinherit them because of it. So I am screwed. No heirs because he is gay, and I can't put in another son. This sucks. This is why I keep quitting. I hope that at some point they open up options for these sort of things. Anyway, "they must be part of your realm". Not sure that would stop me from disinheriting my son.

Please fix! Unfortunately, I just lost interest yet again in the game.

Oh, one more thing. I think historically dudes like this would marry for the offspring. Unfortunately that is not an option in this game. There are no suitable options for marriage.

One, he'll have heirs. I've had gay heirs put out five or six sons. They may not enjoy it, but they'll still do their duty to the dynasty. Two, this probably happened because you didn't give him a reason to stay. He had no land or position in your realm, so he left to find his fortunes and found them in Byzantium. If you plan on disinheriting, do it fairly early, as sons will indeed do this from time to time. "Getting land one day" is different than "have a way to make money and earn acclaim today".

Then murder him!

Being homosexual does not mean you cant produce heirs.
Its just a -25% malus to fertility in the game.
I had gay rulers with 10 children.

Being gay does not prevent you from sleeping with your wife to produce a heir, you are just not that into it.

Actually I'm not even certain there's a fertility malus in CK3, since it's no longer a trait.

[GorishiDan]

like already said, their sexuality doesnt matter, they can be asexual even, they can still have kids, just might be required some luck due to the fertility penalty

[kaiyl_kariashi]

yeah, sexuality has nothing to do with fertility this time around.

it merely determines who they can be seduced by, and which characters they experience attraction opinion bonus from (and there by who they go after romantically from their end).

as long as they're married they have exactly the same chance of pregnancy as two hetrosexual lovers with the exact same stats would.

even a gay man married to a lesbian makes no difference as far as fertility is concerned. (though they've both probably got a lover on the side).

it really only matters if it's criminal and you're not top liege, since it being discovered can be grounds for imprisonment.

First of all that rant is dumb second it's not clear if you are talking about a relative that will inherit if you don't have heir. If the problem is your wife not producing heir just divorce her and take a younger one.Male are fertile up to like 80 so you can easily get a new heir even being homosexual.

No, he means that his player heir has become a vassal in another realm. Since that means he can't be disinherited, and since he has plenty of siblings, the easiest solution is to arrange the current heir's death so one of his brothers (who's not vassalized outside the realm) becomes the main heir.

[Lovecraft's Cat]

Not 100% sure but I think he'll leave the barony behind and becomes your vassal if you give him a county. Yeah it's kinda lame that you can only disinherit someone inside your realm.

If it doesn't work just murder him.
