Friends and Foes worth the money?

[Imperial Patriot]

People in the reviews say it's much needed flavor that should have been a free update. Is it worth the 5 bucks for what it is?

Wait until they have fixed, this Event Pack currently has a lot of bugs, like AI completly ignore their personality to start a house feud against another house, while they have the forgiving trait or AI characters in house feuds murders members of their own house, because of a house feud against the own house.

Decide for yourself. Only you can decide if it's worth it to you.
Look at what you're buying. Look at the price. Decide.

The thing about people is that if you are in a group of them and you are of average intelligence, then half of them will be stupider than you.

Your question isn't easy to answer. Should the devs continue to add content to the game? Should they do it for free or be paid? That's the fundamentals of e-commerce in videogames right there. Paradox in recent weeks has experimented within STEAM to find their own answers as they try to figure out their own market.

Does the DLC add what the game needs? It does and it doesn't. You do get more stuff, but since the game is large to begin with, you don't see much of it in any one run. And, as has been mentioned, there's a number of triggers missing.

If I was going to compare this DLC to The Fellowship Of The Ring, it's a solid Boromir. There's some substance, but it also drags things down by being rough and unfinished. It aspires to level up and be better than it is, but because there's already an Aragorn and because it's played by Sean Bean, you know it won't be alive by the time the credits on the final chapter roll. Still: it's Boromir. You can't fight a cave troll without one.

I barely noticed it.

And I don't like house feuds at all.

it's 5 bucks, It adds 100 multi step events for NPC's flagged as Friends or Rivals. (rivals being the foe side)

[Rialm]

I've not played but I don't see why not, it just add more flavor. And the best part it affects any starting character, so you are not closed to just play as ___.
But reading what Emperor said, that might be really annoying.

[danceswithhorses]

Paid a few quid for this dlc...not really noticed much of a difference if i'm honest.
It's cheap, but not at all vital imho.

[N*rd]

No.
but I bought it anyways

same.... feels like they aren't doing much to enhance ck3

[Bat]

Yeah it's pretty nice actually. It's a bit buggy but nothing too serious and like what you get outweights all the bugs for sure. Definitely small but welcome addition to the game nonetheless

[dannyvader007]

I think it is worth for the price: $5 - it's not bad for the price. The only bad thing is that makes AI seduction become more wild and worst. It just adds some extra events, but it's nothing epic.

[Poompaxhotl-Mardxvar]

Eh, just a bunch of silly events (and yeah, some of them were designed to be as silly as possible). After you read them once or twice, you will just learn what they do and skip them automatically.
Probably wait for sale.

doing research by asking those that have purchased the product already is a good way to look at what you're buying and evaluate whether or not its for you

[fakemon64]

its a nice little addition. the game definitely needs more unique events so imo its a good dlc.

given the amount of time i can spend in a game, i think its worth the price

[Mo0on]

If you "win" the house feud the AI doesn't notice and still tries to assassinate you forever.

I'd honestly not get the DLC I regret it, its not good and its buggy, what it adds makes the game worse. I'm actually going to be looking for a way to turn this dlc off in the paradox launcher so I don't have to play with house feuds because they are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ garbage and will literally ruin your save file.
