Getting to play with famous characters. As someone who digs both fantasy and history, people getting invested in fantasy mods is because those characters are way better described in books and more relatable, obvious advantage of fictional narratives.
I guess that’s part of my problem, i don’t like playing with these characters that are already fleshed out and who already have a complete story written around them. I prefer the ambiguity of (pseudo-)historical characters who i get to make my own stories with.
Characters from established works of fiction just feel like they belong to someone else. They don’t feel like my own, so the roleplaying aspect comes across to me like i’m creating fanfic, which is just not my thing.
And also, because i don’t have the same attachment to the history, cultures and lore of these fantasy worlds as i do to the real world, i find it hard to get myself motivated to care about painting the map in my color, so the conquest becomes lackluster too.
Though now that i think of it, even that explanation of why i don’t feel any attraction to fantasy mods for CK is not completely true, because i remember years ago playing a Lord of the Rings mod for Medieval 2 Total War, and i really enjoyed that for the most part.
So honestly i have no idea exactly why i feel the way i do about CK fantasy mods. I just do. Subjective taste is a strange thing and very hard to explain.
