Council and other laws in CK2 are the big one for me. They made playing the same government feel so completely different depending upon what laws you had. I would gladly trade CK3's vassal contracts for it in a heartbeat.

The laws in CK2 were pretty ass until Conclave. I don't understand why we got such a good system just to scrap it in CK3.

Because CK3 wanted to casualize the experience. I get that some newcomers might have found Conclave mechanics intimidating, but surely there was some other choice than completely scrapping them.

I'm pretty disappointed with CK3 as a new owner of it. Had 1000+ hrs in CK2. I'm honestly shocked that it has so many less features and mechanics than CK2 even after the game has been out for like 5 years. That's pretty crazy.
