He's probably using the intrigue option to beg the pope's forgiveness, which costs gold instead of piety IIRC.
Anyone else disappointed by Ruler Designer DLC?

Yeah, and that option scales depending on rank and income -- if you do it before you unpause the game it only costs 1 gold.
Well it will be all worth it when I can make my characters the Sultans of Swing in the upcoming Sword of Islam.
If you want it a bit quicker, make an Italian cultured character to replace the D'Hautevilles. Conquer Sicily and form the Kingdom of Trinacria (or Naples, point is not Sicily) and then marry the Duchess of Toscana. Since Trinacria is titular it'll take longer for de jure drift to occur than it will for you to create Italy. You may have to kill her husband though. That way you'll be able to drift the Sicilian duchies into Italy and she won't turn down the marriage offer from a King.
It's just my personal opinion, but I think that this marketing text gives you impression that you could edit existing characters:

Especially the part which I underlined gave me the impression that I could either edit an existing character or create a new one. And this message was posted together with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvf8X_bXDHI where they edit traits of an existing character.

Yes, it was quite clearly indicated you could edit existing characters. Not promised but an obvious value-add was the ability to make characters that belong to existing houses, and to be able to make other characters you aren't playing (family members, spouse, notable court members, etc.). It's rather disappointing that this hasn't been changed, nor to my knowledge has there even been official acknowledgment of any problem, explanation, or promise to fix/not fix it.
What I dislike is that you have to start a new character there is no way to mod an existing one with it.
i wasn't dissapointed by the dlc, bought it and happy with it, i mean its not like it was supposed to be a huge complex thing, just a little something to make it easier for the non modders (i do modding thou).
Yes, I'm extremely disappointed with this DLC. It's bugged & doesn't work like Paradox has advertised. I've posted bugs under the bug forums with the issues I have.
Designing your ruler under this DLC only to find out when you start the game the look you wanted (clothing, headgear, background, etc) doesn't come across makes me want to ask for a full refund.

It doesn't really look like an 'expansion' to me. It's just a small change that is fully optional. At least that's the sentiment I got from the description. I didn't need it so even for 50c I just didn't get it.
Characters in CK2 change both clothing and background at all times, not just when they gain new positions. The dlc allows you to visualize and see how the character would look with the clothes on, not edit what he wears.
I have had issues with certain characters and not being able to change hair color and such though. Also, I'd like to know where the cost of traits can be edited, since it's not under localization.

I'm not disappointed so much as I would like a bit more functionality. Honestly, for the price I doubt I could be disappointed.
Basically what I would like is a drop down list of the names and house names instead of just randomizing things (seriously, how was this overlooked?), and the ability to make your character a member of an existing dynasty instead of your own new dynasty.

When you first load into the game world, the character will look like the original design. However, it will quickly flip over to the new design within a couple of seconds.
Regarding myself; now that I've used it a few times, I love it.
Haven't had any problems with this myself. The only thing I "dislike" is that I can't make dead parents and grandparents.
Ah well..
Ah well..
I like the Ruler editor DLC. Its fun starting off as myself and see what I can do with my Dynasty. I do hate how it starts you fresh and does not allow you to keep setup that it should. Having a full court of people who hate you to start is not fun but its not the end of the world.
I am able to create a ruler that is between 27 and 30 with very good starting stats and I can give him a wife and son if I want, sometimes I do sometimes I don't.
I do wish you got to keep your family and stuff but its not a bad DLC. The song DLCs are pointless really, I cannot tell when they are playing vs the normal ones.
Also Paradox making a deal with gamersgate with the bluecoins is great. I always have so many bluecoins and nothing to spend them on.

I got mine mostly with BC but still it's weird that paradox would imply something and not deliver, it's not like them.
It certainly fell short of expectations - and that's gentle.
But the next one appears immensely more promising. IMO, the Ruler designer was 'Horse armor', but SOI appears to be proper DLC.

Come on, NOTHING was ever as bad as horse armor and I'm a major Bethesda fan. Ruler Designer actually has a use.
