I don't like how the game treats adultery and bastards
I'm focusing on Catholics perspective where adultery is shunned. Basically this is my experience every single time:
- 1. Seduce someone
- 2. She gets pregnant
- 3. Keep it a secret
- 4. Someone finds out and blackmails me
- 5. I agree with blackmail
- 6. Few years later, the truth is still leaked
- 7. Lose level of devotion and gets hated by everyone
The game has a very 19th-century point of view of bastards, where they are depicted as extreme scandalous. When at the time, they were norm, with most kings having a bastard or two.
The game simply stigmatizes it too much.
