Inbreds !!

[NexusSix]

Just my first observation of the game...

Seems that it suffers the same fate as CK1 in regards to pre spawned characters of the same dynasty who share the same name via marriage rather than genetics spawning three thumbed freaks !

Sengoku seems to suffer the same fate, 20 years in and there must be a good 20 % of children holding some kind of birth defect the most popular being inbred.
I belive the game recognises pre spawned marriages in a clan ( eg: Man and Wife of So clan ) to be brother and sister rather than pre-organised marriage.
I fear Japan will all have 3 thumbs by the year 1550 !!!

Also a small issue regarding marriage, in CK1 people seemed to spam marriage.
In Sengoku characters with no heir in thier 30's seem happy to get to 40 without even marrying thus handing on a title to some long related cousin.

Also this is not CK1 i know that, but a nice touch was the blood drop on the character portrait allowing people to see if there is a blood tie or not. Very confusing when my heir stat monster long lost cousin can not marry, yet I am sble to marry off 48 year old alchoolic cousin Takada at a whim !!

That said, game looks and plays great. Plots are fantastic even if by executing one I was forced to start over as I had 3 unwinable wars started on me as a result !! Wont do that again

Dont like self bumping but seriously , am I the only person who is finding a sea of inbreds ??

Some daft local lord just arrainged a betrothal between his inbred son and his inbred neice ?!?

IF they manage to have a kid its going to be seriously screwed up. On the upside I will be able to userp just about everything in a 20 mile radius but still..........

I agree, not sure how inbred Japan is naturally but it does seem a little common to find so many of them. But then again, an isolated island nation and this is the nobility we are talking about....might be on the high side of normal?

its people who arent related but share the same dynasty id. as the player dynasties are available for randomly generated characters, it was a big bug in CK and one that is easy to fix just takes a long time of modding to make doubles of every dynasty so those who start with land are unique from the random ones. But not having the game i dont know how hard it will be to fix in this one.

I never saw the inbred trait becoming prevalent and I myself had a lot of marriages within my own clan. A lot of cousin marriages too.

Which probably means that its being caused by spawned characters. I think this could just be near the beginning when the courts are quite unpopulated. As normal characters are born the prevalence of the trait should go back to normal.

Double inbred means he's normal, right?
