The game has been out for over 4 years now. Yet it feels like there's nothing to do compared to CK2. If it wasn't for mods, the game would probably be dead by now.

No offence, but you have 35 hours. There is no way you have exhausted the game after that long.

That is because it had most of Ck2's major mechanics.
(all of which was added in numerous DLC, as ck2's base game is extremely shallow for today's standards.)

I love how people on one hand complain about "having too much DLC" or "having too little" when it's usually really about something else.....

Ck 2 is still around, and although CK 3 is a drastically better game and often has 6x as many players on a given day. (proving it is the preferred option, seeing as ck 2 is literally free.)

Ck 3 is already the bigger game. Factually proven in the code and scripting. More advanced program, and far more capable as a program then ck2 ever was.


So, don't worry, we have more DLC coming. Here is to the steppes, can't wait.

Disagree with OP but ck3 isn't better than ck2 other than the character portraits and religion + culture. The potential is infinitelyyyyy better yes, but they haven't reached their potential whatsoever yet. I have high hopes for the game, but we should still be critical about the current state of the game as well

I agree on the idea that they haven't reached their full potential.

There are also a few of the earlier DLC, that have more potential then what is currently there. Hopefully we get some of that Stellaris retro treatment.

I have almost 4000 hours. He is right.

I think most people play great mods. The main game is really empty and has no content. The last few DLCs didn't interest me personally at all, they don't make any sense, except that they will further reduce the weak optimization of the game.

[Bishi]

Good thing we have mods then, yeah? You aren't wrong though. But, considering the hit to miss ratio right now, more frequent DLC is probably not the right answer right now with this team, tbch.

ck2 definitely had more content, in fact i still go back to it sometimes since the lack of republics in 3 nad the nomad gameplay kind of sucks but the game was also out for well over a decade and 3 does have some quality expansions, but some of the content in 2 wasnt that great, the society system really only just added to powergaming since the event pool was so limited and india as a whole was awful to play in... i get what the rajas dlc wanted to do, the region was dangerously divided at the time period but it made any form of diplomatic gameplay either a guarantee if you were remotely similar or nigh impossible if you werent and the caste system was useless. I honestly feel like ck3 has done better with some mechanics and will eventually have more and better quality content in the future

CK3 has no content.... hahahahahahahahahaha confused fool

Sure. I may be mistaken, but I don't believe CK2 had adventurers or administrative government. Last content DLC in September had them. You may not like either, but it will be a pretty convoluted argument to call them cosmetic DLC.

Next content DLC Is due in March or April. CK2 worked the 'zact same way - couple/three content DLC a year with a lot of cosmetic filler DLC between. At least CK3 isn't trying to sell me tunes, sprites, and heraldry packs... yet. That's 4 years of pointless and cheap to crank out cosmetic DLC I don't miss at all.
