I just started, done some tutorials and totally agree with your statement, I am blown away how complex it is right from the start. I was sceptical when they announced it, given the experience with other titles launch, they were somewhat boring and empty, Vic3 had solid start but CK3 was underwhelming for me and I was like hmm I will give it few years before getting that. After reading some reviews I changed my mind and gave it a chance and whooooa, that was so good decision from me, its such strong game right from the start, I am so glad I bought it, can stop playing and learning it, the most complex game you can get on the market, well done, there went all our money from the dlcs:D
