Longships on the Horizon




            As many of you may know, the Old Gods was released for Crusader Kings II yesterday. As an avid fan of CKII, myself and many others have been anticipating this DLC for a while now. A much needed technology system overhaul? I can go raiding and sacrifice people for piety? Sign me up! I’ve been especially eager because it promises a chance to explore some of my own Scandinavian heritage, albeit in one of the alternate histories that arise on any given playthrough. That being said, I haven’t bought it yet and was actually wondering what everyone’s impressions of the new Pagan system are. No matter how excited I am for new features, I never like to make a purchase until I hear some reviews. So tell me: What do you like most about the Old Gods? What do you think Paradox could have done better, if anything? Worth the price to buy now, or should I wait for the inevitable and ever-anticipated Steam sale?

            I’ve been thinking of doing a Crusader Kings AAR, so if I do decide to pick up the DLC, I’ll leave a poll on the main page where you can vote and tell me if you’d like to see one involving a Pagan playthrough or one based in Westeros with the Song of Ice and Fire mod (once it updates for the latest patch). The ASOIAF mod is my favorite (and admittedly only) mod for CKII, and I would be more than happy to share the tale of another adventure in the Sunset Kingdoms or, once the developers add it, Essos. As always, comment below and thanks for reading!
