I'm happy that turn-based RPGs on the PC are actually getting made again. I have my eye on this game, and can't wait to play it.
My only complaint is why chose Viking mythology again. At this rate it will become like dragons, and zombies. Overused and tiresome.

I donno, all that video really shows was the graphs style. I like Ck2 and Paradox as a developer/publisher, but I don't know how well Paradox would do with a full on RPG.
Cautiously optimistic for now, I'll definetly be keeping my eyes out for more news on this title.

What I like the most is that Paradox games are VERY moddable, and the modding community is very active, so I can foresee very good mods only a few weeks after the game is released. This should be the gift that keeps on giving!

No one forces you to buy the dlc, and they add parts of it with every patch for free. So keep being negative nancys. Especially you joxer.
I look forward to this game.

I am thrilled by this news. I'm very interested to see how Paradox handles an RPG. I'm sure at the very least it will be a complex game.

Ok tell me how a procedurally generated quest isn't going to suck ass? It's pretty obvious. Hand craft it or don't bother. "Endless replay" never delivers.

I'm just going to wait until they explain that further and we'll see how it's implemented. It could turn out to be good, too early to say.
And yet, some people endlessly replay the "hand crafted" (and yet somehow dull and unimaginative) content. Depite everything being the same on the hundredth go as it was on the first.

I played plenty of games with procedurally generated quests, some with only that and no "storyline" even. I do not think that they "suck ass".

I agree, I'd love to see some Greek mythology RPG's come out. Game looks promising though.

Seems interesting though Paradox's DLC policy has landed them in my "Complete Edition only" category. Regardless, curious to see how this pans out. If it does well, I wonder if we can expect them to pump out RPGs on a regular basis too, that could be awesome.
