OKAY. That's a genuinely naked woman. I mean . . . I should have expected it, but I guess I still wasn't ready for it.

Jeez Bralia, you could have warned us about Duke Gerhard too. I can smell the way he's looking at me from here.

Well, at least the UI is 10x better and the map is actually bright. I may actually like the way the game looks this time.

Fuck you... Why did I look at that... At first I thought you were joking, since most of the pics are of the normal stuff, maps, characters and clothing, events, tabs, etc. And then suddenly we've got a naked dude and his wife. WTF. I seriously hope we get to disable that in the options, since the thought of being holy warr'd by naked heretics scares me.

I feel like the gates of Mordor have opened up and its army surrounding me, there's SO MUCH CK3 news to be found. Too much to share. At this point, I feel like the only thing I can recommend conclusively is to seek out the opinions of the game-news world you trust.

There's definitely an option to turn that off, it's confirmed. Don't ask me where it's confirmed, but I'm certain of it.

Oh good. Culture is something that actually exists in CK3 and isn't just a list of names. If only melting pot cultures also existed rip.

This looks absolutely incredible. Enforced gavelkind. That will probably be my most sought after law, this sort of thing is the best way to keep the vassals in line.

Can vassals rebel to change their feudal contract, the question remains.

Someone on r/crusaderkings asked a very important question that I also very much want the answer to:

Can breasts be different sizes in CK3, and can I thus breed a dynasty where the women have absolute gazongas? This is very important.

Can I breed an entire family that's entirely made up of Venuses of Willendorf?

Why just breasts? We gotta make sure the men in our dynasty are packing as well.

I love Paradox, not their DLC Policy, but Paradox. And I love the CK, VIC, HOI, and EU titles. My one concern with the failed launches they've had recently if pre-ordering would really be a good idea? I know this would be their CK team. But at the same time what about the track record that they have had recently. Don't get me wrong I want this game to launch a success and I will probably pre-order anyway. It just has a lot of "ifs" for me due to their recent performances.

I always say not to preorder under any circumstances (especially if its a season pass with DLC that have no details released at all, or something similar) and wait till the game comes out and see how it actually stands before spending money on it. You cant go wrong with that approach.

Pretty much this. While its likely you'll lose some cosmetic stuff if you don't pre-order, it's better to wait. Paradox doesn't exactly have a good history with the quality of its games at launch.
