Anyone buying this shit today? I won't after seeing the negative rants, but stupid hope leaves me yearning for input.

I am planning to ehm, trial, Victoria 2 first before to see if I am interested in it. I was kinda bored fast with CK2 so not sure if I will like this or not.
Any big mod that's just Vanilla+ basically?

Well, speaking for myself, I already know that I'll waste a lot of time on this game regardless of its state on release, so might as well get it sooner rather than later.
Yep, HPM.

I have purchased it.
In that vein EEM is worth checking out; it's basically HPM plus one extra layer of techs for the late game and an end date extension, a bit of sanity / RNG reduction for making the Danubian Federation, and some China fixes, but otherwise plays largely the same as HPM; most of the game especially early on is largely indistinguishable from it. I think the economy is patched up to work a bit better than HPM as well.
I'd still generally stop playing at a similar time to HPM/vanilla because the campaign tends to feel "done" by then, but it does let you keep playing a bit further if you want without everything breaking down.

Only in some years, during some hot sale. Then I'll mod it extensively.

Fanboy reviews are pass. I want to read someone writing about the most glaring ahistorical shit.

What's the point of having 3d models if they look nothing like their real life counterparts?

Time to bring the Haitian revolution to New England. Death to Whitey!

Steam reviews are 'mostly positive', with the negatives all complaining about warfare automation and lack of depth. The positives are mostly memes. Sounds like it's best to wait for DLC and get this as cheaply as possible, if at all.

I wouldn't call Vic3 with the current combat/war system a "grand strategy game".
Fans are trashing this game, i watch livestream and the game indeed looks pretty barebones and some systems and UI lacks depth and finish.
