If you had to choose a 1/10 number on the hype you have for the game, What would it be? Why?

I do this thread because I am interested in knowing the opinion of the users

I'm certainly a 100. Honestly, I'm languishing on these forums for the tiniest morsel of info on the game. I've read every developer dairy and watched every preview multiple times. My life currently has no color at all, and I barely have any appetite. I'm not able to play any game, and CK2 is especially unbearable to play right now.

Lol, but seriously, it's a 10 for me. Not sure how I'm going manage my work and play the game obsessively.

I just realised today that CKIII is basically right around the corner. I'm trying to figure out how hyped I should be for the third installment when the second one is also still going strong.

I'm very hyped, probably 9/10, but in a weird way because I don't want to watch streams or see a lot of content. I feel like it would spoil it in a way and I want to jump into the game fairly blind.

10/10 or even more.

I have been constantly thinking about how CK2 is almost the perfect The Sim game. Family. Marriage. War. Character traits. I played it for hours and hours just enjoying my bloodline marrying my sons to best looking girls in the realm. Build up my provinces, reforming my religion. Etc.

Then the news of CK3 hit. 3D portrait. New skill trees. New traits system. Genetics. Good looking characters. Streamlined performance. Long term support plan. Modding heaven.

May be that means nothing to you all, but to me. I seriously see another Skyrim in the making. This game have serious potential and the developers know. They hammered on all the right aspects. I bought the Royal edition immediately.

Mark my word. The mods will be glorious. Breast physics in CK will come soon.

I just realised today that CKIII is basically right around the corner. I'm trying to figure out how hyped I should be for the third installment when the second one is also still going strong.
I am still having a lot of fun with CK2 and have not fully explored it yet.

Probably 9/10. I really can't wait for it and I can see it being a lot of fun (and a huge time sink like all Paradox games -- not a bad thing). It's not 10/10 just because I hate having a game be hyped up too much or it will inevitably feel worse because it usually won't live up to the hype. If I set my sights just a little lower, then I'm more likely to be pleasantly surprised when it surpasses the hype.

I'm trying to do a real Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem to Empire of the Outreamer run (without cheesing child of destiny) in CK2 right now so my hype kind of dips back and forth between 6 (when I run into a mechanic that annoys me that I hope is better in 3) and 4 (when I'm having fun and realizing that I've done pretty much everything there is to do in 2, and wondering if it'll be fun to do it over in 3 or if I'll just end up bored). I'm trying not to get to into the idea that I'm gonna get to play it on Sept 1st though. It'll either launch late in the day, as IIRC all CK2 DLC has recently), or it'll get delayed. I've been burned too much this year on having things (games or otherwise) delayed or even canceled that it's hard for me to get hyped about anything.

7/10.

Can't play paradox games atm. EU4 is too much grand strategy, Impirator is too much RPG and CK2 is... Well. It´s not CK3!

And I am still thrilled and exploring another most wanted Medivial RPG launched earlier this year - Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord.

You can 99% trust me when I say this: they're not delaying CK3.

If nothing else, just look at the stream they did the other day.

10/10

I've played thousands of hours of CK2 for over 8.5 years. I'm ready for a sequel.

Besides that I do like the new mechanics introduced for lifestyles and religions. Stress as well will certainly help with roleplay.
Hooks and schemes as well as the way they progress over time I also think is improved over the old plot power mechanics.
3D portraits look amazing and have gotten better over time (compare the ones from the early dev diaries to now).
I think overall CK3 seems like a great starting point for the years of DLC we can expect from Paradox.

I do understand some frustration people have with certain mechanics and systems from CK2 not being included in the launch version of CK3 (nomads/republics, navies, artifacts, etc). But I think the reworking of the religion system is a great example of improving on a CK2 system by rebuilding it instead of just porting it over. Hopefully this care and effort will be applied to the other missing parts through DLC to make CK3 better than CK2 in every way. So this hasn't really hampered my enthusiasm at all.

Watching the devs play on stream is really getting me hyped and I regularly scour the internet for any wayward information on what cultural innovations or unique men-at-arms are out there. Also, I would dearly love to see all the dynasty perks listed so I can get a better idea of what each "branch" does exactly.

For me it will be hard to go back to Crown Authority. A few months before Conclave came along, I actually quit playing CK2 - all blame to the dumb Crown Authority law. Conclave completely saved CK2 to me, in this aspect. I realize CK3 CA is different to CK2 CA but just the words makes me see black. I hope I can overcome it :)

I'm currently 8/10.

I'm looking forward to it quite a bit but I don't want to get too hyped in case I expect too much from CK3 and become disappointed with it like I was with Imperator.
I know CK3 was in development before Imperator, which I still enjoyed when it released but not as much as I hoped I would, but I'd rather temper my expectations to be safe.

Still, CK3 is looking very promising, I'm delighted they've added more RP elements to the game and the tech system seems interesting with the fascinations etc. and the vassal contracts should hopefully add a bit of depth to dealing with vassals.
