"The king's eyes shot open, but he could not move. There was a hand over his mouth and a dagger above his head."

Crusader Kings II is perhaps the best and the worst. It makes you believe that there is so much more possible out there, and there is! But it's so hard. So, so hard. But it is not a punishing hard but rather a challenging hard. You become more and more invested and you want to complete this challenge given before you. The achievement system does well to provide you the challenges.

But at the same time, because it alludes to so much, it's hard. Hard not to imagine that there could be more. With the new conclave (even if you have to pay for that), it does well to expand upon such expectations.

Overall, I find this game to be awesome, but because it is so awesome, it fails to deliver in some regards before charging us extra for what should've been already part of the game.
