Unlike you, I don't try to shitpost, my question is genuine, when I read or heard about people loving CK2, it feels like a totally different experience / game than the ones I had.

>>2324362
>Am I playing CK2 wrong?
Well you certainly are making a shit thread in which you don't explain how you are actually playing the game or what are you doing with it, just mentioning some retarded shit you saw online and making extremely vague complaints.
>>where the RPG? where the strategy? where the sandbox?
It's right there nigga. Just set up an objective for yourself and maneuver the game's mechanics to achieve it. The game isn't going to tell you what to do just go for whatever you feel like.

It's incredible how some "people" are so soulless that the idea of looking at an open map and deciding what they think would be cool to do is impossible to them.
It's as easy as
>hmmm today I will play as a French count and become king of France through political alliances to usurp power
>hmmm today I will play as this tribe in Africa and unite the whole continent
>hmmm today I will play as a person of a minority religion within the Abbasid caliphate, pretend to convert to Islam and then convert more and more people to my religion before toppling the caliph
>hmmm today I will play as a russian noble, unite my people and fight the steppenigs
>hmmm today I will fight the reconquista
>or unify italy under a merchant empire
>or play a viking who unites scandinavia under reformed paganism
>or...

In my most recent campaign I roleplayed a Tengri-Zunist in the Ilkhanate, I currently have 3 (I had more in the past):
>this one
>Buddhist Abbasid
>Castilian king of Iceland, reconquering from the Northern North
All of them with supernatural and invasions on.

All feel boring and repetitive.

>>2324362
Nope CK2 is barebones even with the DLC. But if you have the DLC you can download mods that embrace actual roleplay. Don't bother with HIP though it sucks.

>>2324362
ck2 is a make your fun game.
you can either do that or you can't I don't know what to tell you. it's not for everyone.

>>2324362
>Guy that probably can't spin an apple in his head can't get into a roleplay heavy RPG

>you can download mods that embrace actual roleplay.
Which ones? The ones that I got recommended were not very good RPGs.

here is a handy step by step guide.

>1:dont be retarded that is step one.
>2.play a game where you are min maxing everything.
>3: After you are done/bored, set play a game where you want to achive an insanely hard goal
>4: Lastly play a game where you LARP, make up a dumb story. Since you have the imagination of a potato here is my go to larp
>Make a Greek Helenistic guys that is the leader of some province in Afganistan. He is the last in the line of nobel Macedonian, Greco-Bactrian holdouts from the time of Alexander and has the family mission to rebuild the ancient glory in the name of the old pantheon

if after all 4 steps are done you did not enjoy a single playthrough then the game is simply not for you

Sandbox games require a certain level of IQ

>>2325136
Untrue playing like a retard is the greatest fun One ca have

>>2325138
Like I said, a certain level

>>2325115
>set play a game where you want to achive an insanely hard goal
Funnily enough, some of the hardest starts possible in this game are ones where you play as old infertile women with no kids/kids not of your dynasty

>>2325143
Wasnt there a balless old count in north África or smth

There's eunuch muslim duke under Abbassids in Jerusalem, Galilee 867, if I remember correctly

>it feels like a totally different experience / game than the ones I had.
this is the issue with most things, imagining playing is often funner than actually playing it.
give playing as a vassal a go tho, it's pretty cozy building up your domain.

>>2324362
>where the RPG?
It's roleplaying in the sense that you roleplay your character.
Not that you're a member of a group of teenagers that watch your stats grow.
>where the strategy?
Depends on your strategy, what is your strategy?
>where the sandbox?
One time I played as vikings with my friends.
Another we played as french christian vassals.
You pick what you play and decide on your own goals, that's the sandbox.

>>2324362
you are retard anon

>>2325115
>if after all 4 steps are done you did not enjoy a single playthrough then the game is simply not for you
Then, I guess the game is not for me, despite playing it for 1,333.3 hours and 43 achievements. I extracted all the juice it had.

Thinking about starting other campaign to get an achievement or simply dumb-larp makes me have an awful burnout sensation.

>>2325955
So, according to you, is it only F2P (Fun-to-play) in multiplayer?

>>2324451
Most fun I had was playing Zunist and resisting the Abbasids while also culture swapping my dynasty to Norse.

>>2324362
tldr:
-one hopes and is exited by the possibility of content increasing (warhammer mod not finished)
-one wants to play with friends for a real challenge, imagining and hoping that going against (or at least roleplaying somehow) each other in the game would be an actually good gameplay.
yes, fantasy is the motivator. One wouldnt want to play 1000s of empty hours. one hopes its better, or that he finds friends or content that is good

>>2324372
>my question is genuine
My condolences on your retardation, then

>Go with tribal Stettin start
>Build up Pomerania as merchant republic
>Dominate Baltic and Norf Sea
>Be the new Hansa, 200 years ahead of schedule
>Have fun playing kingmaker all around my zone of influence, while building domain and ducal buildings in the three duchies I hog
How fucking hard it is to come up with such thing for you? Are you by chance autistic?

>>2324362
Unrelated, but I have been wondering why this franchise is so disinterested in marriage.
You'd think there would be courting, negotiations for dowry, etc, but none. There is not even a virgin trait to increase marriage value.

It’s only fun when you play as a pagan and just plunder and rape so much that your bastard dynasty has tainted every bloodline in Europe. Then when you get tired of playing Vikings for the dozenth time move on to Rimworld and enslave/dominate weaklings there.

>>2324362
>"what am I doing wrong?
you have a penis.
cuck king is not a game for penis havers.
the rpg part you have all wrong. it's not an rpg like diablo seres, but more like sims.
and the strategy is there, but is as much male strategy (conquer world through sword), but female strategy (mate your way to supremacy).
so, to enjoy the game, you either get an operation, or embrace the inner cuck.

You can easily conquer large swathes of the world in a single character's lifetime
