To each their own but personally I have never understood why so many people seem to like the fantasy mods more than the actual game itself. To me real historical settings are so much more interesting, and i say this as an avid reader of fantasy literature.
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.
It depends.

You’re in luck, it just released, as of now there are two boomarks for Robert Rebellion and soon after. Mod is perfectly playable but still pretty barebones, lacks dragons, no Essos, etc. It isn’t upgraded for Tournament DLC though and won’t be in a long time probably, but it will be worth it since the DLC is actually great and just like tailor made for that particular setting putting a lot of importance on knighthood. Also it’s based way more on books than on show if you wonder.
It’s in steam workshop and also available for separate download, name is (unsurprisingly) “A Game of Thrones”
I’ve been unimpressed with the pirated versions of CK3 when it launched, I tried it again a little bit when the courts update came, but haven’t kept up with it since. Only really considering buying it if it starts catching up to CK2 content wise or if the workshop finally gets up to scratch. Would you say its there yet?
No, the release of content is pretty slow, thate was barely anything for 2 years. Fortunately game survived and it’s now speeding up, season 2 is 4 DLC of which first one is already released and its great.
Also, it’s not going the same route as CK2, it’s much more robust in basic systems. If you consider mods i would say it’s already much better than CK2 imo, though still pretty much less in content.
That is to say, that i was generally very unimpressed with CK2 DLC’s
Oh interesting
How’s Stannis?
Idk i didn’t played much i wait for that tournament DLC compatibility.
noice
