Good game. Buy

Garbage

I can see this is not 'paid mods' but when the Creation Club is just a Pip Boy or Power Armor reskin it holds no value per dollar. Plus horse [power] armor is back. Yay!...?

But this system could have been aimed to not be total trash, but it gives nothing of value.

Jumping on the review bandwagon to put my 2 cents. I don't mind the amount of DLC or the price. However a game that is over 5 years old launched at $39.99, and is still to this day $39.99. The game and DLC stay at the same price as launch for years after release. This is where the change needs to happen. CK2 is near impossible to jump into if you've never bought the game. The base game should cost around $20 with older DLC like The Old Gods costing closer to $5-$6. This change would allow newer players to pick up the old game plus some DLC at a discounted price than its release in 2012. For example the price of Civ 5 at launch is now about the same price as Civ 5 + all DLC (Including expansions), granted however Civ 5 is two years older than CK2, and I can't remember how long ago the last price change for Civ 5 was. This is ridiculous that no price change in CK2's base game has occured for 5 years.

TakeTwo Anti-Modder policy hurts all modders in every game. The modding community, and even larger the gaming community needs to take a stand against this.

Portraits that don't cost money? Nice.

EDIT: Appears the FreeLC changes the checksum. This disallows achievements when used. Turn off when playing in ironman. Still nice to see free stuff from PDX, but this should be patched.

I just put $5 into this knowing nothing about it. I play through an entire story and would play again. One of the best stories I have ever read ever. Can't wait to see what is next from this company.

An interactive story that blows Telltale out of the water.

Would declare no CB wars again.

I got it 50% off and still think I wasted money. Don't get it. (Unless you are like me and want every total war game in your library) I recommend waiting for the next game (maybe) or buying Napoleon TW. (In my mind the last good game from them) Please don't waste your money. Adding on DLCs onto this game is rediculious, they REMOVE factions from the game and allow you to play them IF YOU PAY EXTRA. Just again... Don't buy it. Even when the Emperor Edition came out, it was too little way to late. Big let down again for me. Hope Medieval 3/Empire 2 is better than what we got with Shogun 2 and Rome 2.

Great game if you don't get attached to your soldiers. If the die, they die. Gone... Forever.
Multiplayer is also fun, but not the best it could be (I want to pick the perks for humans)
You troops will repeat dialoge often, get used to it.
