    Crusader Kings 3 is THE grandest of grand strategy games that gives you what feels like a limitless number of options to achieve your goals. Are you considering a purchase? Are you a veteran with some wisdom to share with those unsure about buying the game? Please share your thoughts.

    This is actually one of the best tutorials for CK3! You have the approach for top down learners, explaining what the overall processes are, what things are *for*. For me this is so much better than most tutorials, that start with a ton of min-maxing that is no help at all to a beginner. Clicking something to adjust it by 3.78%, clicking buttons to pay 35.783 gold to Bishop A.N.Other, while skimming over exactly why you are doing this. Might give the game another go after your explanation.

      @OrangeNash Thank you! I never thought of this like a tutorial before but I can see what you mean. I guess it could also act as a refresher for players who haven't played the game for a while and want to jump back in. Interesting! Glad it was useful

    Wonderful video!
    I would like to highlight a mod to check out (especially if you plan to make a mod/dlc review) would be the RICE mod (Regional Immersion and Cultural Enrichment). Their team goes through incredible lengths to add accurate flavor events for various regions on the map. They add what i personally would say is the equivalent of a full dlc package like the northern lords, iberia and persia, except they do so at a rate of every MONTH.

    I knew within seconds of watching this that this was gonna be my favorite before you buy channel ever. 60 second TLDR to first just quickly get a sense if you're interested. Actual look at the mechanics - there are so many games where I'm aesthetically interested, but the actual minute-to-minute gameplay is not quite my vibe, so I really appreciate this angle. Then the consideration of learning curve / time you need to invest / replayability... this approach is just empathetic and has the info I personally need to make good decisions on games in a way I haven't seen before!

    As someone who has played this game quite some time, excellent review.
    Every play-through will give you a different story, even if you replay the same ruler several times.

    I know its a quality game, and i want to experience it. Only problem is it deletes saves and crashes after getting around 1100 ad i read, on console, and im on ps5.
    Seems memory limits, ram problem.
    Been a year or 2 with no fix still, a little unacceptable.
    Plus dlcs are gonna make it worse probably.
    Idk, its just 30bucks on psn now but at least if paradox and the devs would reassure that it will be fixed but nothng..

    Oh thank you.
    I bought this two years ago and played for five hours before realising that I could not understand anything that was going on. A function within a menu within a menu is insane to find, even after their tutorial. It feels like a game written by coders who said "well it makes sense to me".
    A game should not be more complicated than literally living in that period.
