He is somewhere in the forests of Norway, and he’s disfigured, so he’s wearing a metal mask and a roughspun cowl. In this moment, I lock eyes with my son and heir Amlaíb, and the shock of his new situation sends me reeling. So I decided it was probably a good idea to see what Amlaíb was up to, and if I needed to get him set up for the throne at all.
My character, once an immortal valkyrie in my mind, suddenly felt very mortal.
I realized, with a jolt, she was getting older and ailing. High Queen Bodil was badly injured after a battle in southern Scotland. I just didn’t expect things to go so wrong. And then I, uh… ignored him for like, 20 years, and let God and the AI sort it out.Īt no point have I claimed to be a good parent or even a good problem-solver. Then, I made the bold decision to assign his care to my Archbishop, who I figured could probably teach him a thing or two about morality. Needless to say, I was already pretty overwhelmed with work drama over the Duchess of Meath, so I just nervously laughed and gave Amlaíb the thumbs up. I could nurture a different set of instincts in the boy, teaching him how to become a man I would be proud of… but that would inflict Stress, and at a high enough level, Stress causes all sorts of terrible consequences for the player.

This is Amlaíb, my son, and in a new random event, I’ve just encountered him in the woods standing over the body of a deer he clearly just tortured to death. Other times, it includes actually taking care of my child, who just kind of hangs out in court looking like a weird gremlin. Sometimes, that means choosing a strategy before a big siege, or approaching a lord I’d like to sway to my side. Crusader Kings 3 randomly prompts the player with text boxes, and then I get to make a choice. I had united the island, and was preparing for more wars over Brittannia. I was playing a pretty prestigious ruler in Crusader Kings 3: The High Queen Bodil of Ireland. I’m an absolute disaster of a parent, and it turns out everyone in Europe has to pay for my foolish choices. There’s just one problem I keep encountering: I’m a medieval lord who forged a new kingdom through martial might, trying to survive endless assassinations, not a well-balanced person who’s equipped to raise a good human being. Once I die, my heir takes over, and a new generation begins. I have to keep my own empire alive through skullduggery and tactical prowess, as well as prepare my heir to assume my duties. Crusader Kings 3 is a cutthroat game of medieval strategy, politics, and war.
