I've a question - when creating hybrid culture, what precisely determines the appearance of randomly generated courtiers? And by appearance I mean genetics wise, the skin color etc, not fashion.

Because I started as a count, I didn't see much of the new court content yet. But the game wanted me to create a hybrid culture as soon as I hit the play button.

Fifty fifty chance to have the appearance of either ethnic group.

And what if you hybrid again with another culture? 25 - 25 - 50?
I recall reading on the Paradox forums that it randomly picks one of the two original ethnicities and then keeps it 50/50 with the ethnicity that you are hybridizing with. Kinda shitty, but eh.

This shit isn't worth $30. It's worth at most $15. I foresee Pdox's shares tumbling again with another failed DLC launch. This makes what 4 or 5 DLCs in a row that failed? Good riddance to a shitty ass company.

So far I rate it 3/10 at best and it's just because the game is still stable performance-wise. It's stat bloated, repetitive slog and does nothing to even remotely solve the fundamental issues of the game - if anything this DLC exacerbated them. At the end of the day, this is their thinly veiled attempt at conning the console market with visual gimmicks that are of absolutely no consequence to the actual gameplay.

I got an enjoyable 10 minutes out of reading the wiki and seeing the interesting cultural mechanics and all the various flavors every culture has. Have no desire to play CK3 with it though because it looks like it's just stacking more bonuses in a game that is already at a visual novel level of difficulty. $30 lmao.

We won't know for a while how well this does but I suspect the answer is "good enough". Plus it does a lot of shit for modders. Paradox will probably just load in mod abilities and let the modders create cool stuff cause they themselves are creatively bankrupt.

You really underestimate paradrones and also their tranny consumers.
