My Favourite Game of 2012 Also Has the Absolute Worst DLC

By Luke Plunkett Published April 1, 2012 |

Keep your space operas and fighting things things, my favourite game of 2012 so far has been the wonderfully deep marriage/backstabbing simulator Crusader Kings II

It’s a shame, then, that the game now has the year’s worst DLC to date. And that’s including a game where you’re being charged for the ending

On April 17, developers Paradox will release Crusader Kings II: Ruler Designer, an optional add-on that will let you either customise existing rulers or allow the user to create news ones. In other words, it’s a character creation tool. You know, the type everything from FIFA to Skyrim packs in as an essential part of the game.

Here, though, it’s going for USD$5. And you don’t even get a fancy 3D model or new set of animations for it. You get to tweak a 2D portrait and move your ruler’s stats sliders around.
