This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Downgrade? I'm curious what you didn't like about the sequel. Was it the family/diplomacy/story being too in your face? I think that was my only real gripe, but not a big one because it was interesting and easily removed if I wanted with mods.

That was an aspect, but I think it was how much dumber the AI became. I remember the "conquer everything" objective being doable in the first base game, but your allies act so poorly in the sequel that its basically in doable.

Oh, aye, I can see that. I personally hated the whole, 'let a noble go and he suddenly respawns with an army' thing, so I just started executing everyone once I had a good army and the skills to maintain it myself. I didn't have to worry about allies once everyone hated me.
