First of all,my English is not very good, I wrote this helping me by google translate

Recently I've been playing a game called "King of Dragon Pass" and after played it ,when i play ck2 i miss somethings of this game.
I think CK2 it lacks a bit of story telling and dynamic events with a system similar to KODP.
IMHO it would be a great addition to the game that has more narrative and more dynamic events with many variables as it happens in KODP, CK2 is a great game, but sometimes I have the feeling that in the narrative and theme events is very static and it needs more dynamism.

There isn't really a story in CK2, other than what you invent.

What would be fun would be a change to the rival system where you gain a rival family on the start of the game (a bit like rival patricians but for everyone). So example Capet vs Plantagenet, Welf vs Hohenstauffen, and this leads to various events to tell a bit more of a story of your and your rival families rise and fall.

One thing I like about KODP is that it has many events, which usually each have several results.
In addition, the results of the events are not fixed: Option A can have different results, depending on several factors, including your skills, attributes, and a little luck. So it is given for several hours before learning you events
I would like to see this style of dynamic events in ck2

If I will get rival family for every game I play it will get annoying - as an option - fine by me. Some times you just want to start "clean" so to speak. But additional starting conditions for the dynasty or character adds more to diversity before game start.

Yes CK2 needs more story lines, events and such. King of Dragon Pass is a good example. More "story telling" options that charcter can do not nessary that the ywill be rewarding but for the sake of "something happening with character".
