[2022] better than ck2?

Originally posted by Kimlin: After reading about what’s to come from the Devs I am a little bummed knowing the next major expansion is also going to focus on RPG and they don’t intend on having a mechanics based Xpac until the one after that which looks like it will be 2024.

It's worth noting that RP and mechanics aren't mutually exclusive. Many of the mechanics added over the course of CK2's lifespan were added with the intent of deepening the RP experience, after all.
