[HttT] New events have cryptic messages ?

[arbiter6]

Am I the only one who is creeped out by those new event messages concerning heirs that make little to no sense at all ?

I have 3 in minds :

1) The one with options "Forgive father for I have sinned..." A new legal heir appears, papal influence : 0
and the other option being about the same (though i forget how it goes since i never take it) and effect ...papal influence : 0 (no heir)

2) A long passage that seems to be from out of an Edgar allan Poe short story with options to either kill your heir or lose 3 of prestige, 200 gold and 2 stability
(of course i killed the heir...)

3) ANOTHER long passage, apparently linked to the previous message, talking about a musky cellar in which the king apparently walled the former heir alive. The options being : "Aaaaah the musky cellar" (king dies)
or "Heeeerrrreee's Ennrriiiique" (lose prestige gold stab) (my king was named Enrique III)

The passages make VAGUELY sense (BARELY) and the options are just ridiculous (thank God for hovering mouse infos)...

Am I the only one who encountered those event messages ? (which costed me 5 heirs in about 15 years)

Nope your not the only one. I personally love them.

The creative writing makes them all the more interesting.

I rather enjoy the new events, vaguely remind me of CK

The most fun event description is when you play a non-European country and get the "Family secret" event. It's description has your heir going around town in "most unchristian fashion" and you being snickered at across Europe.

I took a creative writing course in high school, and it's been haunting me ever since.

I welcome all text that has reference to a movie, part of history or something else I have missed to enrich my general culture with

That event should check whether your nation is actually in Europe, or change the description.

Same for things like Tea Parties btw, kinda strange if it fires for a nation in Indian/China.

Damnit Brother Bean, how much Shining did you put in it?

The exact amount needed.

On this subject, I just had an event called "Papal moon" about my leader stumbling apon an old monument to the Papal-Savoian excomunication war. Very cool it can reference old wars like that.

I dont really LIKE the Insanity event line because it contrasts too much with the other events and feels like a mod rather than official content as a result. However I also didnt really like the style of CK events either, so its probably just me, or the fact that English is my third language so I dont get too flowery with my sentences.

This being said, Im very very glad that HTTT added new official events and missions and i want more of these, so Ill stop whining. Should it really bother me so much in the future Ill just rewrite them in my files, no-big-deal.

I agree that the (country) Moon with its reference to previous wars and the one for Losing a war where you Heir comes for your head are both really amazing.

So yeah, what's with the non-option of the "Get an heir, 0 Papal Influence" or "0 Papal Influence"?

Got a event that I believe was a short love novel in disguise. How late was it when they wrote the event descriptions? Not meant in a bad way, it kind of spices up the game and breaks up the monotone feeling you sometimes get from from playing this kind of games

Wait he wasn't talking about the Johnny Carson show?

 

[Bob Ilyani]

I really like the CK vibe the new events bring.

+1

 

[L Lawliet]

Some events freaked the crap out of me. Those I managed to understand anyways
And some just don't seem to make any sense whatsoever no matter how you look at them.

 

[Romtos]

Wait he wasn't talking about the Johnny Carson show?

No idea. I have no idea who he is or what that show is.

I just got a wonderful event: either a free university or -5 prestige. Hmmm...

I noticed some were "influenced" by Nick Cave lyrics.

I like the gloomy mood
