Looks like ass, the old art style was much better. Also smells like popamolization of the trait system.

Too fast, i didn't pay for all DLC's for CK2 yet. And tons of new ones incoming. Not to mention the ones i still have to buy for EU4. My God, if i only can be Jew banker.

The art style is growing on me. Only three personality traits seems to be a bit meagre, I hope they can compensate for that by making them more impactful. But I always liked characters with the seven virtues.

I cant agree on the look. In the previous CK you often ended up with very samish-looking people, this one seems able to make for a bigger variety and more detailed faces.

Meh, they were largely fine. I'll take stylized drawings over 3D variety any day. And I was mainly referring to the trait icons looking like ass.

That's why CK1 portraits are superior to CK2 portraits.
Fewer but more decisive traits is an improvement. I'd often stack traits for their bonuses with little care (unless I was really LARPing) while others were absurdly useful (-2 to diplomacy for 50% extra gold with Greedy is a no-brainer to take yet the game considers it a disadvantage!).
The faces aren't too off considering this is the Medieval era..

In general we have smaller jaws and less prominent faces since the Industrial Revolution due to much softer food

I'm sure there were plenty of soldiers who were set on fire and then hit with arrows. That could technically constitute a fire arrow if you pulled out the arrow and cooked some marshmallows with it.

How the fuck do they imagine it's going to work if the game starts in middle ages, years after most of religions were already historically established?

Kinda like pagan reformation, but deeper, with more moving parts.
Which is very cool, because it will allow us to Create-Your-Own Heresy

Fuck off,i want to raze all the middle east and Rome with glorious Orthodox Bulgar horde,not play around with some generic religion that i have to spend time making it fun. I want a religious carnage and great focus on that shit,the game is called Crusader kings for fuck sake,not Inventors Kukz!

What are you talking about? The Catholic Religion already exists within the timeframe of the game.

The most Codexian game mechanic.
“I will join the Catholic Church. Only such a prestigious institution can appeal to a man of my intellect, with my reverence of tradition and authority!...
...No, the Catholic Church is ultimately correct but deeply flawed in its leadership. Everyone should listen to ME and do things MY way!”

To be fair, the Catholic Church is pretty popamole.

Hello everyone!
To most of you I’m a new “face”, so let me introduce myself. I was a Content Designer on CK2 for Reaper’s Due, Monks & Mystics and Jade Dragon, where my most important contribution was essential cat content (yes, I also wrote the Spymaster Mittens event chain, and yes, the cat portrait in CK2’s animal kingdom is based on my real-life furbaby). Since JD, I’ve been on the excellent CK3 team and we can’t wait for you to see everything we’ve worked on! Sadly, I don’t have any cat news for you today, but I have something that is nearly as exciting: the Court, Guests, and Wanderers.
The courts of CK3 are very similar to those in CK2. The Court consists of your landless subjects, such as some of your Family, Knights, and Councillors. However, you will generally have fewer Courtiers than in CK2. Courtiers who don’t have any duties or other reasons for staying will eventually decide to leave in pursuit of other opportunities. Fear not – they will let you know before they go. Courtiers leaving might feel like a bad thing, but I promise, it’s actually a part of a really neat feature (more on that further down). In addition to enabling the neat feature, this also means your remaining Courtiers will be more relevant to you than before. No more random strangers at the dinner table!
Your Court will still be a bustling place, full of new acquaintances. In addition to the Courtiers, the core members of your court, you will also have Guests paying you visits. These individuals will interact with your Courtiers and appear in events. Guests stay for a few years before they leave. If you want a Guest to stick around, you can recruit them. Just remember to give them a reason to stay! Giving them a spot on the council or a shiny title never fails, but seducing them also does the trick.
Guests look for opportunities and will be more likely to visit if they think you might recruit them. For example, Claimants will seek you out if you are strong enough to press their Claims, and suitors might appear if you or your adult children are unmarried. The interface will give you a handy overview to easily identify Guests with special Skills, Traits and Claims. You also have some influence over the type of Guests you attract. There are Invitation Decisions you can take to increase the chance of having good Knights and Claimants visiting, and there is a Dynasty Perk to increase the likelihood of useful Guests.
But where do all these Guests come from? You see, when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much… Oh, you meant “where are they before they appear in my court”? Well, characters without a permanent home wander around on the map, and visit Courts along the way. This is where characters leaving your court comes in - they will become Wanderers! For example, a son or daughter who is too far down in the line of succession to inherit might become a Wanderer to find a new Liege to press their Claims. Characters might also find themselves on the road by being banished or losing all their land.
All of this means that your guests often have interesting backstories. Many of them have families and relationships, and they keep developing during their journeys. If you check in on a family member who is out wandering, you might find that they have married or picked up some new skills (or a juicy secret…) since they left your Court. Perhaps they’ve even become a Mercenary Captain or the head of a Holy Order!
In the world of CK3, your ruler is the main character, but it is our hope that courtiers, guests, and wanderers will become a great supporting cast. I’m looking forward to hearing about all the little subplots you will discover.
That is all for this Development Diary my friends. Take care and we’ll see you in 2020!
