Charinfo not working properly?
I tried the "charinfo" console comand to find out the true father of my character's kids (because I was getting a lot of the "doubt besets me" events) but there's no such info in the character charts! What am I doing wrong?

What you are looking for is not part of information displayed on your screenshot.
Exemple for a b-astar-d would be.


birth_name="Soimir"
birth_date="1033.1.25"
father=592861
real_father=565862
mother=590681
attributes={3 3 3 4 3 }
traits={82 79 87 97 }
dynasty=17006
dna="ybxdhzptnfw"
properties="ce0gdk000000"
fertility=0.600
health=5.300


aside that It seems you re very lucky, with your main character.

That's exactly what I'm saying myself: what I'm looking for (real father) is NOT part of the information displayed on my screenshot! Am I doing something wrong or does that mean my king's son is actually his?

I dont know if you did something wrong ... except in game with your wife, if she had to go elsewhere for an o-rgasm. More seriously I dont know Charinfo, so I cant have an opinion.

If the question is important to you, charinfo give you some hint. Ethinicity for exemple. He is german. If none of you and wife are german you can have doubt. Here we can suppose mother is german.

Now perhaps DNA can speak. Compare your DNA and your wife DNA. Afaik It s supposed to be a mixt of the two. Exemple fisrt third ect from father mixed this second 4th ect ... of mother give son DNA. CK2 will probably explain it to you, just look at CK2 DNA. It will explain too imbred risk.

Edit . I notice your character have parano trait. For role play such character often have dialog/intox info about none exixting plot or imaginary adultery.

Thank you for all your help hurepoix.
My problem is with the 'charinfo' console comand and if I'm using it properly.
I've read numerous threads here in this forum that suggest charinfo is a lot more accurate/revealing. You learn who a kid's real father is with 100% certainty without having to compare DNA sequences or ethnicities. But when I tried it, it didn't give me the info I needed (for any character not just my king's kids). So I'm wondering if they changed the feature or I didn't understand how to use it properly (I pressed "~" and then type "charinfo"). The actual question of the paterninty was not as important too me (they're great kids regardless of blood); my main goal was trying out the featire and learning to use it properly.

The "Doubt Besets Me" event does not always mean that your wife has cheated on you; I think if you've got the paranoid trait or you have high intrege it is more likely to trigger.

The Charinfo *should* tell you if who the real father is under a line looking something like "real_father: Duke Dave of Davidland", IF the father in that person's character screen is wrong, otherwise that line doesn't appear.

I hope that helps.

Ah, OK then. So my character just got lucky. His wife did have a lover (it was revealed with charinfo) but the "real_father" line didn't appear for any of his kids.
Thank you V-Lemons. :)

Real_father line appear only if father is not the husband, or more clearly if the child is a bastard, whatever it s know or not. However Like your emperor is a parano, it s about sure he was daydreaming.

Yeah, lots pf paranoia about the pregnancies but the wife was unfaithful (she even had lover's pox) so he was a bit justified in suspecting her! :P

I m sure your son plot to assassinate you to take the throne. Quick jail him.

Ah, and your wife is complice, because she really have a lover. she allied with your son in order to kill you, because she want to live with his lover.

... But how is it possible your others sons and daughter dont know anything of that. Of course they are aware, it s not possible otherwise.
... But they dont tell you anything. That means they are also complice amd against you. Jails them all.
... Of course such a plot is not possible without help from the council. Damned traitors, jailed them also also.
... You ve heard about a plot to overthrone or kill a Basileus without help of the army ? Argh put all commanders under arrest for high treason.

And kill immediatly all people who are jailed... I m sure they have complice I didnt discovered yet who will make them escape.

My god, I surrounded by Traitors and assassins.

not only parano

*** long ago I was a schizophrenic. However I was cured. Now we all are going much better ***
