I picked this up a few days ago, and I have to say, Paradox has really outdone themselves. I say that specifically with Paradox in mind: This game is not full of bugs or lacking polish. They made a really good game.

I've had a number of interesting things happen so far. I'll post more as I remember them, but the biggest thing to happen yet is that my firstborn child is dead, leaving my banished second-born to be my heir to the Kingdom of Sicily. My banished second son who went off, married into a Muslim family family, and converted. If I don't have him killed, after my current king dies I could suddenly being playing a Muslim state ruled by a man nobody much likes. This could be rough.
