So I know folks are unhappy with intentional mechanics, but how are the bugs?

I keep looking for a good time to get back into the game, but it seems it's always a bit of a mess (odd they keep releasing new content regardless, but I don't know their plans).

Regardless, I know many are up in arms over Conclave features, but assuming one can get past those and they are working as intended, how is the actual polish and stability of the game. As in bugs primarily.

This is a game that is selling itself as a full price completed product, polished and all. Is that actually the case?

Thanks in advance for any feedback

As someone who browses these forums on a daily basis and has played the game for over 1000hrs, the game is stable right now and has been since probably Horse Lords or Way of Life's patches. Charlemagne was the last time the game was genuinely broken as a result of a bug involving the AI being unable to release levies, but I digress. If you happen to flip through the bug report thread, it would appear the majority of issues are concerning Merchant Republics (which always seem to have issues) and then everything else strikes me as trivial or something very minor/rare.

I've never encountered a bug on a vanilla install of the game. I also have a couple Iron-man compatible gfx mods on the top. I've got 1100 hours total and at least half of that is vanilla, I started playing with mods right away and have been playing for achievements lately. When I started playing the game (Dec 26 2014) I got right into CK2+, CKExpanded, etc. While that was a ton of fun in its own right, I absolutely DID encounter some game breaking bugs when I was playing with a combination of overhaul mods.
