EU5 is set to have far more Catholic depth than CK3 has after years of development, despite the religion being less important in that time period

Not really, you still stay in the same dynasty

Come again? Granted, I haven't played landless in a while, but dev diaries clearly state:

If no relative is available, the follower with the highest prowess inherits instead, and the camp passes from your dynasty.

and you cannot truly play as a landless lowborn, you MUST have a dynasty

Doesn't really matter. Theocracies weren't really led by lowborn people, and even if someone lowborn inherits, it could just auto-generate a dynasty name.

A lot of lowborns in game are actually minor nobles, not necessarily peasants.

Yeah, and some people with dynasties could be said to be lowborn, like populist uprising kings.

I suppose in that case, it's just a matter of perspective. Everyone is lowborn if you go back far enough.

I don’t know if they removed it or just restricted it to lustful characters, but a travel event where your character becomes infatuated with a local peasant, the peasant is given a dynasty.

Lowborn knights and mayors are really minor nobles.

Peasants could enter the clergy, though it would have been harder for them. Jan Hus was one such person who initially entered the clergy for an easy life.

And that is true... Except you get game over coz u dont have an heir of your dynasty.
In fact, all titles get passed to SOMEONE even holder has no player heir, that's normal game behaviour.

My bad, I didn't have access to the game for the weekend so I was confusing two interactions. You are right that this action results in a game over and you are forced to go into the character select screen to keep playing as the non-dynastic heir. BUT, my original comment is still completely true:

Are you aware that ever since landless gameplay was added, you can end up as a different dynasty than you started as altogether?

Namely, in the case of an event notifying you of a historical character appearing within your realm, allowing you to play as this character with a completely different dynasty.

I want to fear the Pope

Well this aged badly

Serious tone of CK2? It had devil worshipers, immortals, and a talking horse. One of the events you could have a child with a bush.
You could be the anti-Christ and the chosen of Jesus at the same time. You're just pissed the feature you wanted is not in chapter 4.

All those were added much later in the game's development cycle. And you could specifically toggle off all of the things you mentioned with a game rule. CK3 was on the other hand designed from the ground up to be non-serious. If there were a similar toggle, the game would be left with maybe 5 events top.
