Elegance of the Empire... Anything New?

[Franzosisch]

Looking at it and it's just... reskins. There's nothing new in it but it's supposedly something worth advertising.

So part of the reason CK3 has 3D models and Royal Court and all that other useless trash is so they can sell The Sims 4 style "content packs". Hats, dresses, blah blah blah, for tons of money.

Just waiting until they start adding bedchambers and feasting halls and full armories for players to "decorate". And yeah sure mods can do all that faster and better and for free, but they won't let that stop them from cashing in on the 25% of current CK3 players who are just refugees from The Sims: Medieval. Sure your cloths don't matter and you don't actually socialize with people and yeah you can't ride the horses that you'll be putting $3 Horse Armor(tm) on but the c-suite guys don't care.

Nope, nothing fancy. It's promotional cosmetic stuff for the Episode 2 bundle.
The equivalent of Episode 1's:
Edit: huh, the link's not loading. It's the equivalent of "Crusader Kings III: Garments of the Holy Roman Empire"

Note, I think they took down the Chapter 1 bundle, so there's no way to buy it now. Might just be like "early access" for people who bought Chapter 1:
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/14274/Crusader_Kings_III_Chapter_I/
Edit: I have no idea why the links are doing that, maybe because they're no longer for sell?

If that's the case then, somewhat ironically, the game will get more expensive as time moves on and bundles are deleted. (Or, to see it another way, people who are fans right now get rewarded more than people who wait (or it's the equivalent price for people who wait for sales) which is something I've commented on before funnily)

Except that haven't actually sold any clothing packs. The only clothing DLCs that exist have been bonuses included in discounted bundles.

Are you implying that a mustache is not new??

Also, they are so terribly greedy that they let people mod cosmetics for free into the game! What a great way to make money by selling trash!

Oh, wait...

Sims 4 also does this. Doesn't really matter.

Actually not true, about the Horse, in the next Expansion T&T, you will see your character riding his horse, if he owns a horse, but I am not sure, if it is Expansion content or free Patch content, because the entire Travelling Mechanic is free Patch Content, together with the Activities Rework.
