>>2324369Unlike you, I don't try to shitpost, my question is genuine, when I read or heard about people loving CK2, it feels like a totally different experience / game than the ones I had.
>>2324362>Am I playing CK2 wrong?Well you certainly are making a shit thread in which you don't explain how you are actually playing the game or what are you doing with it, just mentioning some retarded shit you saw online and making extremely vague complaints.>>where the RPG? where the strategy? where the sandbox?It's right there nigga. Just set up an objective for yourself and maneuver the game's mechanics to achieve it. The game isn't going to tell you what to do just go for whatever you feel like.
It's incredible how some "people" are so soulless that the idea of looking at an open map and deciding what they think would be cool to do is impossible to them.It's as easy as>hmmm today I will play as a French count and become king of France through political alliances to usurp power>hmmm today I will play as this tribe in Africa and unite the whole continent>hmmm today I will play as a person of a minority religion within the Abbasid caliphate, pretend to convert to Islam and then convert more and more people to my religion before toppling the caliph>hmmm today I will play as a russian noble, unite my people and fight the steppenigs>hmmm today I will fight the reconquista>or unify italy under a merchant empire>or play a viking who unites scandinavia under reformed paganism>or...
>>2324447>>2324451In my most recent campaign I roleplayed a Tengri-Zunist in the Ilkhanate, I currently have 3 (I had more in the past):>this one>Buddhist Abbasid>Castilian king of Iceland, reconquering from the Northern NorthAll of them with supernatural and invasions on.All feel boring and repetitive.
>>2324362Nope CK2 is barebones even with the DLC. But if you have the DLC you can download mods that embrace actual roleplay. Don't bother with HIP though it sucks.
>>2324362ck2 is a make your fun game.you can either do that or you can't I don't know what to tell you. it's not for everyone.
>>2324362>Guy that probably can't spin an apple in his head can't get into a roleplay heavy RPG
>>2324881>you can download mods that embrace actual roleplay.Which ones? The ones that I got recommended were not very good RPGs.
>>2324362*This is youIt's like the fourth time you've made this post/thread
>>2324362>>2324569here is a handy step by step guide.>1:dont be retarded that is step one.>2.play a game where you are min maxing everything.>3: After you are done/bored, set play a game where you want to achive an insanely hard goal>4: Lastly play a game where you LARP, make up a dumb story. Since you have the imagination of a potato here is my go to larp >Make a Greek Helenistic guys that is the leader of some province in Afganistan. He is the last in the line of nobel Macedonian, Greco-Bactrian holdouts from the time of Alexander and has the family mission to rebuild the ancient glory in the name of the old pantheonif after all 4 steps are done you did not enjoy a single playthrough then the game is simply not for you
Sandbox games require a certain level of IQ
>>2325136Untrue playing like a retard is the greatest fun One ca have
>>2325138Like I said, a certain level
>>2325115>set play a game where you want to achive an insanely hard goalFunnily enough, some of the hardest starts possible in this game are ones where you play as old infertile women with no kids/kids not of your dynasty
>>2325143Wasnt there a balless old count in north África or smth
>>2325228There's eunuch muslim duke under Abbassids in Jerusalem, Galilee 867, if I remember correctly
>>2324372>it feels like a totally different experience / game than the ones I had.this is the issue with most things, imagining playing is often funner than actually playing it.give playing as a vassal a go tho, it's pretty cozy building up your domain.
>>2324362>where the RPG?It's roleplaying in the sense that you roleplay your character.Not that you're a member of a group of teenagers that watch your stats grow.>where the strategy?Depends on your strategy, what is your strategy?>where the sandbox?One time I played as vikings with my friends.Another we played as french christian vassals.You pick what you play and decide on your own goals, that's the sandbox.
>>2324362you are retard anon
>>2325115>if after all 4 steps are done you did not enjoy a single playthrough then the game is simply not for youThen, I guess the game is not for me, despite playing it for 1,333.3 hours and 43 achievements. I extracted all the juice it had.Thinking about starting other campaign to get an achievement or simply dumb-larp makes me have an awful burnout sensation.
>>2325955So, according to you, is it only F2P (Fun-to-play) in multiplayer?
>>2324451Most fun I had was playing Zunist and resisting the Abbasids while also culture swapping my dynasty to Norse.
