After a 3 year hiatus, I'm back into the medieval world.
I don't know why but I seem to have a love/hate relationship with this game. I would suddenly have this urge to play the game, and the spell usually lasts for a month or two. During that time, I will only play CK exclusively, other games be damned.
And when I'm at work, my spare moments would be occupied with daydreaming about my realm, roleplaying in my mind the dynasty I have associated myself with. 
Today is one of those times.
However, once the steam runs out, I'd feel disgusted by it, and would immediately uninstall the game from my PC. And then I'd be in another hiatus, the game gathering dust in a shelf.
I don't really know why I have this love/hate relationship with the game. But if I may be so bold to surmise, I think the reason is because, for me, the game concept is outstanding. It has a certain pull on our heartstrings, so to speak. (And it gives a breather to the lurking megalomaniac inside of us. lol) The problem, however, lies with the execution of that concept, methinks, i.e. the AI is frustratingly flawed. Not to mention that it seems to me to be an unfinished game (2.1 beta patch, any one?).
I'd like to compare CK to a wifey's hurriedly cooked dinner. It eases you out of your hunger but the process of masticating the food is not that pleasurable.
Hopefully, CK2 will be a godly meal.
