CK3, y'all!

[@connorhennessey1316]

I heard your voice and was confused for a few seconds. I though I was on the wrong channel ;P

[@georgecatton]

"Erik, for example, has fallen in love with his wife." Oh wow, right out of the gate we are dealing with that CK depravity.

[@jovalin5939]

I think true depravity, if you'll excuse passing over your joke, is that as he's talking about Erik falling in love with his wife, the screen shows that one of his concubines is preggers.

[@leonardobanazalazar3249]

@DarkEternal6 Disgusting, I will make sure my horse mother-wife burns this depraved at the stake.

[@nerdorama009]

Heathen hand-holding. He'll burn for this.

[@dantereinhardt6911]

Me and my granddaughter daughter-wife are apalled.

[@christopherhall5361]

love in a medieval marriage wasn't required, often it was very rare and both would have other lovers

I can't wait to have smaller lords on my small council, instead of only selecting from lord paramounts.

@@waynec4018 is it confirmed that this will be possible? Sounds neat

[@ParadoxGrandStrategy]

Which character are you going to start you first campaign with when you get your hands on the game? Comment below!

[@georgeone6370]

King Boleslav the Bold of Poland ofc

[@andrewextravaganza8796]

A custom character. If the ruler designer isn't in at launch, I'll use console commands and mods to get what I want. ;)

[@IRVN1998]

William the Conqueror/Bastard/of Normandy.

[@Irvieman]

Vseslav of Polotsk

[@SkeIIum]

Whatever guy has that county in flanders provided it's still the largest/potentially strongest duchy in the game. Or maybe some random irish no one to do good ol tutorial island again.

Paradox knows who their KZbin community wants to hear from, I hope you guys don’t end up abusing this haha.

"You have died" is CK slowly turning into Dark Souls

[@alvaro.martinez]

It looks like they actually made a game instead of just an interface for a spreadsheet.

[@Softload3r]

My boy One Proud Bavarian made it. Started from the peasants now we're here.

[@mrmarmellow555]

[@Realhawker]

Great choice for presenter!

[@AIgorith]

I didn't expect you to be here OPB, been watching you review the dev diaries on this game. Good to see you here

[@joshscullin6309]

For a moment I thought I was watching a video from One Proud Bavarian's channel lmao. Amazing that Paradox did this and for OPB to have done this

[@Contribute_TakeCare_Learn_Play]

nice to see proper intro guides per aspect group but also in a playlist, from the makers themselves on youtube. thanks .

[@thyrampantpigeon]

4:38, that map reminds me of Knights of Honour.

[@Bullebelub]

Very nice video and great to see you do this Stolzer Bajuwar. A well deserved honour. I was hoping they would ask you and Good to see that it happened.

[@JaedenFX]

"I'll see you later alligator." After awhile crocodile.

[@ronnysarkar]

Hahahaha hilarious really :-D

[@dmoss1894]

These videos are great, thanks one proud bavarian!

[@SacredDaturana]

I'm LOVING the sound of the stress mechanic. In CK2 I think the temptation is to just always be a perfect ruler because that's how you get a stable realm that can move forward geopolitical objectives, and a lot of the choices in pop-ups are purely RP choices that are strictly inferior.

[@clumsyturtle8544]

It's nice to see the education focus from the conclave dlc is going to be in the base game for ck3.

[@theleopard5188]

Congrats on Paradox hooking you up for all your dedication to CK2👍

[@PluviaAeterna]

Cannot wait for it

[@maxwelllaurent9065]

Oooh, fear levels, fun. More detailed health indicators is lovely as well.

[@SCARFACE9511]

Can't wait to play as a Count and build an empire from there!

[@alarabi98]

HOLY SHIT MY FAV BAVARIAN IS GETTING RECOGNITION

[@Vesper2]

i am so happy you all pick one proud bavarian he is the best and place this game in such a good light and he works hard! i cant waite for this game

[@jacksonkalvin1205]

[@Baleur]

4:38 that paper map looks so gorgeous im gonna play the whole game like that........... zoomed out so far i cant see any armies......... hmm.. =P

[@MysteriousAlly]

I am so excited for this

[@rice2934]

Simply yes. The OPB!

[@JABEXE]

Do we know if the "independent operations" army stance from imperator will be in CK3? For those unaware this allows armies of your choosing to be put under AI control as and when its needed, Perfect for large fronts or huge nations. Especially if a lot of your time is spent micromanaging one particular army. I would love to see this feature return in ck3 but I am unable to see anything regarding it in the dev blogs.

[@Tubesepe]

This video is like trying to explain Silmarillion in 5 mins.

[@urosvesic9520]

I'm loving all these new stuff

[@owenreinhart4232]

Love these keep it up

[@bigsweade]

I think I have to watch this again to understand some of the things. The information is probably very good, but I would like you to slow down a bit in the future. It feels like you're hasting through it to finish it as fast as you can.

[@TemronTM]

I imagine Paradox hired him to do a 5 minute video

Nice, really loved the video and (little) gameplay💪 but I was wondering if the Byzantine empire will ever be covered 🤔I mean I wouldn't mind not seeing it as I can play the game and experiencing it then but it really shouldn't matter love the content anyway. P.S Loved OPB presenting this video, What a legend.

[@DrewHelander]

They said it was just going to be feudal at launch. I believe the exact quote was something like “Byzantium is a beast of its own” so.. dlc or hopefully a free update.

[@Fridgerage]

So proud of One Proud Bavarian! What a boss!

[@Vebian]

just imagine this ck3 + AGOT mod can't wait

[@doghat1619]

hopefully the devs never make an AGOT mod for ck3, it'll take them another 6 years to get to where they are in CK2's mod. why bother? just update the CK2 mod and make it better instead of starting from 0 again

[@franklinxavierdixon2231]

YES, OPB MY BOY! Moving on up, you deserve it family. Teach us the ways of the Deus Vult

[@trengilly01]

So did Paradox actually get One Proud Bavarian to talk slower? Or was the playback speed slowed down in post production? 😉 Great stuff!!

[@citrus7487]

I can already see the mod that cancels the stress gain while resetting your perks...

[@sambone2809]

This game looks great! They added alot of the character DLCs from CK2 in to the base game. they also seem to be having a focus on actually being a ruthless leader being effective(unlike in Ck2 where you just arrest everyone and try to please the rest. I can't wait to make my enemies fear me when I go crusading yelling "DEUS VULT!"

[@Dsingis]

Can't contain my hype. Less than a month! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[@PillowWillow007]

I preordered my copy on the 20th of July, so I've got nothing to worry about ;) Hopefully I can kickstart a professional modding career from CK3.

[@morelikegayattorney7099]

omg it's my boy!!!!

[@AleronWolf]

Yes, OPB

[@DOCTAxSWAG]

Oh those lifestyle options 😍

[@lucassouza7645]

One question real quick: I've been told that the number of traits was reduced to 4. While I can see some sense on that saying since there was 3 traits left to a vertical bar and the education trait to its right I cannot make sense on the other traits that are to the right of the education trait. Can someone explain?

[@atakanunlu2915]

Most characters have 3 personality traits (some of them have 4) and 1 education trait. The ones located on the right of education traits are either congenital traits such as beautiful or strong, lifestyle traits, coping mechanism traits and special traits such as viking and bastard. Your character may have as many of these kind of traits, there is no limit.

[@grallonsphere]

Let us hope all these bells & whistles play nicely together and don't bug down the whole thing to a slow crawl (looking at you Stellaris!)

[@anindahalder7062]

Paradox really should hire One Proud Bavarian to just provide actual official guides and tutorials for ck3.

[@Grasmel]

They have. That's what this video series is.

please enhance color difference of the skills, for example intrigue is purple in order to make them imidietly visible which skill decision involves, now they seem too similar or melted, color distinction in rpg skills development seems cool

[@christopherrivera9827]

Okay, this is my first CK game I've ever played. I never played CK2 because over the overwhelming amount of DLC. Let's hope this game doesn't go down that path...

[@MrSCGuy21]

Just got the game, came to this video, heard "lay waste to the world, goodbye everyone.

[@randomuser6175]

I love Paradox games but CK2 was the most difficult and complicated one for me. I was never any good at it. But this one seems a bit easier to figure out

@Quiet Wolf yeah I can imagine. I played like maybe 10 hours and annoyed because I sucked :)
