After watching quill18's playthrough of CK2 using Castille 1066, I finally decided to buy it. The ruler designer is one of the most worthless things I've seen, next to Oblivion's horse armor. Made a female? Everyone hates you. No children to start out with? Good luck getting children in the game (even on Very Easy, Lustful, Hedonist). Female heir? Everyone hates you. Want to play a young character? You need to take gimpy traits. Want to be powerful? You are going to be old enough to not enjoy the designed ruler. High intrigue? Good luck trying to get money needed to utilize said intrigue.
I spent 5 bucks to play how I wanted to play, and now the game is telling me that I cant play how I wanted to play. Paradox games in a nutshell, I tell ya.

Now retrying the game using a historical figure. Hopefully that will be more fun.
