I don't really like the system of "die without an heir of your last name, and its game over". Or that your dynasty in CK 1 was locked into the player character's main title. I'd like to see things where the player character dies, game switches to their second cousins in Norway, and you play from there.
Who wants to reload every time their character dies without an heir? What if you reload, switch over to a different country, and then all of a sudden that old characters gets an heir? Then you save and reload. Very annoying.
One time my ruler died "without an heir", and my game ended. I reload, and find out that the title past to the old player character's distant cousin of the same last name and really the same dynasty. The first character I selected's brother had a large dynasty of his own, one which the game did not tag as the same dynasty, apparently because their father had died before the game began. I'd like to see that fixed.
In the same game, an illegitimate child was not picked as heir, and thus the game ended. Yet, his line kept expanding for many decades. This is an example of how the game follows titles rather than characters.
I'd like to see some times when your heir doesn't manage to claim your old titles, and so you basically live in exile.
Just some random thoughts on the issue
