It's not as refined as it could be perhaps, as it looked like the mother had a bedridden-esque trait while leaving the court, but it's probably not a big deal. I'm liking all the tooltips we're seeing and the game looks like it's going to be fun at the very start so far.

Also, ruler designer confirmed as not at launch but free DLC down the line.

I guess that makes sense but intuitively it feels a bit weird that as a ruler your elderly mother would leave for someone else's court

If that’s based on her traits/personality or whatever that’d be rad as hell. Like content mom is cool to hang around, but ambitious mom says gently caress you and tries to find someone else out there to press her interests.

He wasn't her only son, maybe she bounced because she thought his brother would be more proactive?

They just didn't pay attention and didn't see that they were never the heir to the kid.

I love the new Knight system. Generally seems like a far more interesting game than CK2, with less of a reliance on repetitive events and more systems focus. It also seems like the inevitable Game of Thrones mod is going to be amazing.

It looks like it was one of those Intrigue lifestyle events, they had the Skulduggery focus and this one was probably from the Temptation focus. I believe I remember the Dev Diary on this topic saying you could get lifestyle events that were outside of your focus, though more rarely, within the same group. Seems like an example of that. Also, their sister-lover was also the spymaster, which is probably why she was involved in the event.

Rewatching the replay it looks like the mother who left was actually content. And definitely has some sort of negative trait (probably health-related) with a bed icon.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

lol 10 minutes into the stream and they realise the player character has his sister as a lover

I mean it's not a weird thing to change, knowing this series and its audience, but I just looked at the CK2 history files and they weren't scripted to be lovers in the CK2 1066 start.

(historically, some people/chroniclers thought Alfonso and Urraca were lovers but that might just have been the usual Secret History style slanders against disliked political figures)

Okay my main takeaway from the stream is that the UI is an absolutely enormous improvement, especially the expandable notification list for things that don't get popups, and all the hyperlink text to people, places, and tutorials.

Having an in-game encyclopedia is just such a no-brainer for strategy games nowadays I always get pretty annoyed when a game doesn't have it. Having tooltips you can click on to navigate to it or bring up text from it is a natural extension of that.

I hope they work on the building details on the map.
All the settlements are just circular castles and look extremely generic.

I know CK2 had poor map/city visuals, but at least it looked less generic.

Also since I've started playing Paradox games I hoped for the same sort of in-game historical info you get in, I don't know, Civilization. It's weird that the best historical encyclopedia in any game is in Assassins Creed series, and it becomes more mind-blowing the wider their audience becomes.

I wonder if it's a small random chance? With fewer preset starts they can maybe afford to have a couple wacky easter eggs like that.

Watching back through some of the vod I’m a lot more excited for the knight system than I would’ve thought. They seem to kick rear end in battle and I like that there’s UI for the knight vs. knight conflicts that happened during the battle. No idea how developed they are outside of combat but I hope it’s something that’s added a lot over time. It’d be a cool way to get attached to characters that could presumably die in any battle.

You can see a little book icon on the title UI that I’m 99% sure is the history.
