Where are the Mystical fun Events from Ck2
I don't wanna hear "Mods". Im so sick of Mods being a crutch for lazy devs....

I generally ENJOYED the fun events from Ck2 like playing Chess against Death, having an orgy with Satan, and having my soul sucked out of me and into a baby who was my reincarnation, or just straight up becoming immortal only to get my head chopped off in a duel with another immortal...afterall There can ONLY BE ONE.

Plus they made it a Rule so you could turn them off.
SO where are they? Surely THIS DLC SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO GET THEM.
Who wouldn't wanna cut a deal with Satan as the blackdeath is killing everyone around them? God surely isn't helping!!!

Talk about Legends? Why not become an Immortal? A True Immortal.....

and again....I miss playing Chess with Death....he was my truest friend that one game. Truer then even my HorseSisterCousinWife Clipclop. :Gifting:

They specifically said they thought that those kind of things were a "mistake".
I guess they just wanted to focus on it being historical. Kind of sad really.

It's not "lazy;" supernatural events are just as easy to write as regular events. In fact, supernatural events are likely easier to write, as they were largely anachronistic pop culture references, or anachronistic medieval stereotypes invented in the modern era. At least some historically-inspired events actually require looking at Wikipedia for a few minutes to write.

Rather, CK3's devs are going for a historically plausible level of superstition, as opposed to late CK2's objectively magical world. It's a stylistic choice.

As for a solution for you, "mods" are that solution.

Yeah, the excuse they used is no longer valid. There is supernatural content in CK3.

You can literally talk to god while you're creating a legend, there are some other wonky experiences, they just don't lead anywhere and have no relevance later on, but that's most/all of CK3 events so it's the norm.

Of course, you could read it as being just a dream, but most of the CK2 "supernatural" events were also writen as natural events seen through medieval eyes, like the chess with death being just an exotic assassin, the gate to hell being just a volcano, chthulhu being just a whale, etc...

You're cherry-picking. Dreaming about god is not anywhere near as supernatural as regrowing limbs from Satanic worship and becoming literally immortal. In fact, the event doesn't even label the guy as god; only your heavily embellished legend does.

Yes, CK2 had some events that were more "superstition" than "supernatural," especially early in its run (pre-Monks and Mystics), but it also had events that cannot be explained without magic. 2/3 of the events you chose were objectively not supernatural; vanilla's Gate From Hell is a reference to the real life Gates of Hell (a collapsed, eternally burning natural gas field) in Turkmenistan, and Old Gods' Cthulhu event is restricted to Lunatic characters, and as such lacks a reliable narrator.

I applaud your "death is just the world's worst assassin" RP, but there is no logical way to explain regrowing your mutilated junk through orgies and virgin sacrifice, immortality, a mad king's horse developing the ability to speak to perfectly sane people, etc. CK2 objectively featured a number of magical events; CK3 does not even feature one that goes beyond mere superstition. The only thing objectively magical going on in CK3 is how everyone pays money to Poseidon to spawn boats out of thin air.

No, you are cherrypicking, the satanists and the immortal event are probably the only examples you could possibly think of that were truly supernatural, over 90% of them weren't. More if you weight the events you'd actually get to see in normal gameplay.

Of course, people will often refer to them to say why CK3 "shouldn't have supernatural events" to justify ignoring everything else, even though the example I just mentioned is exactly like nearly every single CK2 "supernatural" event.

OH ♥♥♥♥ I forgot about that event, The first time I defeated Chthulhu in my longship alone and survived, No one believed me, but I didn't care, I had saved the world.....

♥♥♥♥ I miss CK2....I dunno why I don't just go back to it. The devs totally ruined females in this game anyhow making the new models pointless.

As someone who loves RNGesus, never played CK2, I crave glitterhoof.

Let's put all the drama and antics behind. Ck3 had weird crazy events of its own, but we all dream of thinking we're a horse.

I'd just like to point out to those people claiming CK3 Devs want the game to be more "Realistic" Ck3 still allows you to cure yourself of Cancer by having your ♥♥♥♥ chopped off...:steamsad:

You know the best thing about time? The game you love is still here, and more comes out.

" Me and my trusted sword shall never part ! "

:scum_cleaver:

Speaking of "realistic" I can totally survive cancer in CK3 till 100 anyhow,
All I need is to go on a hunt with one of my lovers and sneak off and get some "Fresh Air and Exercise " for that Health Boost.
Or Host a Feast with my good friends and renew our friendship.

Having a Book that somehow makes you more Healthy?

Cancer....Hah, I laugh at you.

Now, Great Pox....that's another story.....you travel through France and come upon a village with a Beautiful French Woman and lay with her ONE TIME....and Boom...your ♥♥♥♥ melts off :(
