This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

              DLCs out-the-ass Paradox-style.
Escort quests/missions where the NPCs move at a speed between the player's walk speed and run speed.

The entire game is a series of chained together escort quests through dangerous territories, at awkward speed.

With extremely frequent pauses so the NPCs can spend 40 seconds fawning over the exact same flower they saw two feet back.

I don't really have much of an issue with how Paradox does things... Their games are more like game engines that they spend the next 15+ years developing for.

Also, with each DLC, they put out a (usually massive) free update for everyone who owns the base game. So even if you don't get any DLC, you will end up getting some of the new features for free.

It is kind of ridiculous that they're still putting out new DLC for EU4... I think it gets absurd after a certain number.
