2) I have the same problem with my bf with the original CK. Like I keep trying to stress the RP and character aspects of it, but he finds EU really boring so it's hard to convince him >_<. I've been trying to get him more interested in CK2 by stressing that there's a lot more "to do" or whatever, but he's still not fully biting. I'm hoping that when he sees me play it he'll be all "I WANT BE KING!!" hehe. It worked with console RPGs (his reaction when he first saw me play one was "You stand still and take it in turns to hit each other? lame", but now he absolutely loves them
!)
