I know PDX has given up any pretense of historicity but that's still retarded. Catering to the "le inbred royals xD" meme. Inbreeding happened because the royal lines married cousins between each other, not brothers and sisters, and it took a while for the effects to become full on incest retard baby.
Incredibly distant cousins at that. The Church's rules against consanguinity were extremely strict, miles more than modern law. But of course, if you spend a couple centuries marrying between just a few prominent families and your own distant family branches, then that shit adds up over time.

I'm fine with the implementation of incest on the game, but seeing it constantly happening on the base CK2 game is really getting on my nerve.

Seeing screenshot above, i don't think paradox will change the rate of that event. Expect half you dynasty is inbreeding without your intention.

In CK2 incest didn't really happen outside zoroastrians unless you wanted it and worked for it. Seduction overall was just too easy though.

Church rules are still strict, or were until recently. I had a girlfriend who’s aunt and uncle were first cousins(aristocrats marrying to keep clan holdings together) and had to get special dispensation from the Archbishop to marry.

They are strict but no longer really all that important. Who cares if you break Church's rules nowadays? And the Church will happily give out a dispensation if you ask for it. Back then, they often actually wouldn't let you (just look at Henry VIII and his attempts to get divorced – got flipped the bird by the pope, and he was a damn king). Just bad luck, sonny, pray away the incestous lust with some hail marys and find someone not related to you. If you didn't obey, you didn't get married, and that was a really big deal from both a social and legal perspective.

Or flip the pope in return and startup your own church. Worked wonders for the Vatican, huh?

Such is the way of the world. Still, the inbreeding meme is inaccurate, fueled by people thinking the aristocracy actually married close relatives. The idea that a royal found his offspring fucking and decided to join in is like something from a fetish fanfiction or something.

jewish projection and libel to humiliate their racial enemies, Romans as they see it, European aristocrats in this case specifically as representatives of huwhite racial sovereignty that excluded them - the revenge is so much more visceral now given how the US explicitly styled itself after the Republic, so they put your daughters in porn to be fucked by animals and circumcise your sons

mind they themselves have to keep databases on who is fucking who to untangle their inbred genepool (still keeping it in the family, but now being eugenic about it), but they don't make a big song and dance about it

This shit should have come out today, to play over the weekend, now I'm forced to play this WL3 shit while I wait for Tuesday...
It probably won't be much to look at anyway on release.

Well if you really want to have fun check out the "influencer" coverage on YT, a bunch of retards larping. I guess some kind of Paradox promotion? I just about hurled my monitor out the window.

And you paid full price for it?
Gamepass.

I often sound like a shill, but Gamepass for PC has a really good value, at least in my country. It's around $3 here IIRC, and you get tons of good games on release. We just got Wasteland 3 and now we'll be getting CK3.

As the owner of a PS4 who's been getting shitty games from PS PLUS month after month for a long time (and that has to deal with overpriced releases), Gamepass alone is what would make me buy an Xbox next-gen.

You can actually create world states in which everyone is gay.

There's also a "gender equality" option with "Default", "Equal" or "Inverted" as choices.

I still can't understand why anyone would want to play a medieval game but at the condition that it's all gay.

I can't wrap my head around that. Are we living the most absurd era of the time of man ? How ironic considering all the rational thinking and machinery at our disposal.
