Since I love going down the seduction skill tree with my character, I really want love and lust.
Which one is more likely to bring back Satanism, and I guess those OTHER secret societies that I ignored?
I miss being able to sell my soul in exchange for amazing powers (in my head) and assassinating a few nobodies that my new lover and sensei says need to be killed.

Kinda doubt we'd get secret societies in a mere event pack.
That seems a bit out of scope for that format.
Sounds fun, though. Would like to have that at some point, too.
I spend a lot of time cultivating my wards in CK3, more than any other activity, so having a little bit more in ward relationships would be welcome ... as long as it doesn't come off as "here is some random and arbitrary event with very little context if any - enjoy".
It would be nice if the ward component was made a little less RNG and a bit more logical over all in future.
For example, you could have more wards than two, but the more wards a character has creates increased chances for a stress related event ('kids driving me crazy' for example) and decreases educational rolls (keep spreading yourself too thin and you can't help any of your wards, only hinder them), but if you have only one ward, you are more likely to become friends and give them better education/stat rolls.
Also smart events like if you are at war and have wards, you could have an event that allows them to come to the battle-site with you to watch the combat (giving attribute skill increases but with the risk of harm or death of your ward if you get defeated). Things like that which become logical context specific threads in your ward's life, based on what your player and court is doing, rather than here's a completely random thing.

Lovely ideas.
Having wards be pulled into stuff you are doing as part of the teaching experience sounds a lot of fun.
Like if you are frequently running hostile schemes that you get events in which you deliberately teach your ward how to search for information or how to observe a target - even if you don't directly pull a 10 year old into your on-going murder plot.
If you construct holdings or buildings, you could deliberately get events tied to that.
Same for events relating diplomatic exchanges if you are engaging in some.
Of course combat training if you are versed in combat yourself.
And philosophical exchanges or medical apprenticeship if you have experience in those.
All those with massively increased chances if they fit the education focus set for the child.
That sounds very fun.

Exactly this type of thing, where wards have a chance to gain benefits (or harms) from activities your player and their court are doing, making for a rich and integrated thread of intertwined history.
Expanding on your example, if your player character is a shadow master, an event allowing you to use your ward to spy on your court giving intel benefit to your player character and an attribute increase to your ward, but with a risk of having your ward killed or beaten if caught.
If your court holds a lot of feasts, having an event during it where your ward is under the tables and hears something or finds something or gets drunk stealing wine, being another type of event.
Or if you are a torturer, you ward stumbling in on you in the act, and either being horrified and traumatised as a result, or awakening their own dark passenger.
Just some ideas to make the ward experience less "here's a completely random RNG event" and one more based off the environment they find themselves in, reflecting a real world development, rather than an RNG one.

Can't wait! Also thank you VERY much for giving us a choice! Much appreciated!

I personally would prefer more events that incorporate one's character's spouse(s) or lover(s). They would create interesting dynamics and really help make one's character feel more unique. Additionally, the previous DLC already incorporated new events for wards so having another one would be somewhat redundant in terms of event variety.
I like the idea of Wards and Wardens. They all sound great but I think Children, and in particular, Guardians need more flavor and deeper dynamics. Appreciate allowing community input!

I'd say children should have more events without dlc. If you make dlc about wards and wardens, then a lot of those event should be in the free version since playing as a child is either playing almost the same as adult or watching the paint dry.
Tho I really like meet peers because it adds some fun in the otherwise unending void that is playing as a child (tho it also needs more events because I could repeat them 100% from memory when woken up in 2AM with cold water)
Well the free update part wouldn't really affect me bcs I 100% know I will buy the dlc, but it would feel kinda scummy if others have to watch paint dry while I'm living better childhood ingame then my own.

I like all three, but I seem to prefer them in reverse order of everyone else. A shame.

I stand with Logh... I mean Wardens.
But, despite not seeing a neccessity for a full fledged event pack on love and lust, there's one thing that needs immediate attention and that is the marriage mechanics. Having had a bastard and traits like fornicator should really be a turn away, especially for women. While I find the marriage AI to be still better than CK2s, marrying your 16 year old heir to 35 year old incestous fornicator with 2 bastards and another in the belly really doesn't seem like something a medieval lord would do.

Dragon Age Fans assemble.
Jokes aside yeah, the mechanics could be better in this perspective. Espescially there should be more variety in schemes and sways so that the AI just won't choose seduction and murder automatically.
Maybe I'm the only one, but I'd prefer Love & Lust to include more romance events. In particular events that relate to a familiarity about ruling together with your spouse. Your spouse is your most trustworthy councilor and she can be the one to give AI intelligent advice when it's needed.

Has to be Wards and Wardens for me. Would also like specific events to the education we choose for our children. For example (Martial): training and sparring regularly, studying war/strategy books, and amatuer tourneys for the underage lords.

Only way that could possibly work is if she had Huge Tracts of Land. If not, it would be off to a nunnery for her...
Wards and Wardens sounds less interesting. The other two are in desperate need of more expansion in particular how the game handles love.

I would be great if this vote could be restricted only to those who own the game rather than Forums users. Or is it?
