how does ck3 compare to 2 these days? i have ~700 hours on ck2 but never bothered to try out the sequel
It's good! It depends on what you liked about 2 though, since they did shift a lot of the points of focus for 3. I personally like that they leaned into the roleplaying aspect of it. Managing a large realm is now a much more active task than it was in 2. It's a shame that stuff like nomads and merchant republics aren't playable yet, but I do think that the feudal gameplay is substantially better.
I played shortly after release and felt like I ended up spending more time on genetics and bloodline manipulation rather than ruling countries and politics, because making superhumans felt like it had more gameplay impact than anything else. Has that changed much?
