Since when has Beth ever used a "strong thematic tie" with its mechanics? I mean this is the game where the settlement system was INTRODUCED but they saw no reason to give you any in character reason to do it other then "protag always accepts everything blindly"

Bethesda way of design is about giving player options they can pick and not pick. They usually don't offer much choices within those choices but you almost always have options to turn down anything thrown at you. Bethesda doesn't give your character motivation but if you choose to do what is offered to you, you probably do have a reason. You always have a choice to just walk away.

Meanwhile Charisma is almost never checked substituted with Speech skill. Endurance was a dump stat. Agility was a god stat because 10 AG is a difference between shooting once and twice with most guns.

They are all dead because it was centuries ago, I mean that nobody suspected that black woman is a bastard and allowed her to carry lineage.

Too bad I mended the schism, so no crusades for me. I tried to help out my vassals' campaigns but I could pull my forces properly. We did secure Armenia though this way.

I suppose I'm sitting the rest of my current life out. Christiandom is still pretty good at beating me back with their alliance so I failed two imperial reconquests in a row.

My heir is a genius. I hope he manage doing it better.
