Clocked up 300-odd hours on 2, bought a lot of the DLC and don't feel I really saw half of what I could have.

I'm holding off for a bit too but the early reviews look good. One thing I did read which I suspect will be true is it's already much the same if you like Western Europe but maybe lacking in some of the features for the more obscure cultures I enjoy most, so maybe wait until the inevitable DLC. Hardly played much M&B Bannerlord yet either.
I’m giving it a miss I think. I’m not into it enough for the constant DLCs you need to buy to keep up.

No idea, don't have one.

This will doubtless be me too.I ended up getting it anyway.
I did the tutorial so continued as Ireland and already doing schoolboy errors such as investing heavily in provinces that I lose upon succession, and declaring wars that I haven’t properly investigated the viability of...
And I’m trying to play nice but one of my vassals is demanding a seat at the top table but he’s as thick as pig shit so murder it is.

Uniting Ireland isn’t that easy so well done on that. You really need your eye on the ball as to what’s going on where and when to accomplish it I think. I tried brute forcing it and got punished. It’s a very clever game engine.

Had a go, looks good I suppose, lacks charm though. Or I'm just too used to CK2. UI is far too crowded too, seem to perpetually have more pop ups on screen than anything and missing features really show imo. No custom characters for example. All part of the DLC plan I'm sure, but still, seems like a pretty step backwards in some ways.
Ive been having a lot of fun with it. I agree about the pop-ups - they’re pretty annoying on my small laptop screen. As for comparisons with CK2 I think this is way more polished and bigger than CK2 was at launch. Obviously it won’t favourably compare with CK2 with DLC.
Apparently (according to the faq on their wiki) character creation will come as a free update later (probably with the release of a DLC). I honestly don’t see the point of it until you can select a later start date with better succession laws. The challenge at the current dates is keeping hold of your power the best you can with the succession laws you’re stuck with. I can’t see tinkering with characters stats helping whatsoever.

Eh, mostly personal preference I suppose. Never viewed CK2 as a game so much as a story telling machine with mechanics. Creating my own bespoke clan was always part of that.

Sounds like it's time to invest in a larger monitor - I really like the overlays arrangement in CK3 so far, but I'm playing on a 32" screen; I can imagine it's a bit much on a laptop.
Started this evening as a 6-year-old newly orphaned girl with hardly any money and only a single county to my name. Now I've reunited East Anglia, conquered Suffolk and Kent, and blossomed into a scheming 20-something adulteress who is already on her second husband and third lover.
My beautiful younger sister is a bit of an annoyance though, might have to do something about that...Fair dos. I thought you meant tinkering with stats and suchlike.

Im playing as Bohemia (Czech) which is a lot of fun. It starts with House Seniority too for those who dislike Gavelkind. Survived up until 1254 so far from a 1066 start.
The best moment by far was I had pretty much all my vassals faction up against me and I had dug too deep into my funds for enough mercs. Then when all was almost lost (they were siegeing my capital!) my ruler somehow died causing succession and an end to the war. Phew.
Furthermore some were ones I’d released from prison (different ruler) for previous trouble causing. I honestly think that your vassals are best off left in prison if you don’t need the ransom money. Unless there’s some other penalty that I’m missing?

You can ransom them for Hooks, which you can then use for various purposes, so if they might be useful later on in some way that could be an option.
I don’t think so although you can convert to the local culture. Not sure about religion as Ive only played as Catholic. You get a chance to convert when other nations adopt a new religion but is kind of a bad idea. I clicked it by accident and was suddenly engulfed by much superior external forces with Holy reasons to smash me into oblivion.
