RPGs should have fun combat. Also your actual choices are quite limited, especially as a lower rank noble. Not really sure what this game is.
I played a little while on the Game of Thrones conversion. When I see so much effort was invested in a game like this it seems a waste.
Honestly I think Civ4 would be a better platform to use. You already have a decent strategy base and mod the factions/politics/random events on top of that. There was a project to TC GoT for Civ which I think loads of people left to work with CK.
I actually won that war (a few shitty ping-pong battles) forced liege to recognize my claims and the game gives me a message that my liege becomes my liege and has also become duke of Cornwall (the title I wanted). In other words I gained nothing and just fought for and enforced his claim (pre-war he had a claim but was not pursuing it). The whole war was pointless except ruin my reputation and alienate everyone.
I spent about 15 minutes working through the family trees to see the logic and decided that is not really how I want to spend my free time.

I don't think you can say it is not complex, if you are trying to figure out the ramifications of changing your inheritance laws for example. I was playing as the Count of Cornwall, the whole of England went into some civil war (no clue why, game didn't give me the memo) and decided it was a good time to become independent of my liege (who rebelled against the king). Problem is doing that (the game let me) I discovered I am pissing off the king and declaring war on half the other nobles, who also have a claim on Cornwall through the half-brother of the nephew a great uncle. Also automatically my wife declared war on me even though the whole idea was our son would benefit.
