Hey guys Victoria 3 has announced, so what will be happening that game's mess. Extra easy code for more autistic modders to mod? Trash DLCs released over time while game is barebones?

I want to believe that Paradox won't fuck this up but seeing everything that has happened recently with Levithan and Imperator I'm not too optimistic.

I've heard that our favorite person Jakob is running one of the modding coops for Victoria 3. Who knows, the community might run itself over like HOI4, especially since Paradox will make modding Victoria 3 easier. (Adding easy modding support drives more people to the game, good for Paradox since they can just ignore the autism)

Good thing that the Leviathan and Imperator teams and lead devs aren't anywhere near Victoria 3.

The head dev is the guy who helped turn Stellaris around from its initial release, so I'm pretty confident they've got a good team on it.

Didn't Anward spend most of the summer constantly tweeting in favor of Antifa/BLM/anti-capitalism, etc? Or am I thinking of a different dev?

Fuck if I know, I don't really care. But he has a solid record (So far) on developing Paradox games so as long as that continues he can politics tweet as he pleases.

As opposed to Paradox Tinto which is led by Johan, who has been responsible for their biggest fuck-ups lately.

It's probably a different paradox employee. Naturally I wouldn't care about others' the political opinions, but considering the game he's developing is in the Victorian Era, strong political convictions will certainly effect the outcome of the final product.

When did this culture of "active development" begin? You know the ones... like Yandere Simulator with no clear plan or deadline, so the devs just keep adding features, or in the case of TNO or Kaiserreich, retconing and reworking features already in the game. Seems really backwards.

Getting back on topic, was it over before it even began for TNO?

In hindsight, yes.
TNO lies at the intersection between althis, modding, discord, grand strategy, communism, and WWII. Each one of these communities are hotbeds of autism on their own, so any combination of them was bound to fuse into an even bigger spergfest. There was simply no way of that turning out well, the mod was doomed from the very start.

That's nice to know, I wonder what they will do with the economy, because the economy of Vic2 gave brain damage everytime I tried to understand it, all I know is green line good red line bad, in case of continuous red line invade another country and hope for the best.

I'm not gonna lie, as much as I love Vicky2 and what it does, I money cheat just about every fucking time.

The head dev of Vicky 3 released the last Vicky 2 patch so maybe he knows wtf is going on.

I imagine Vicky 3 will be dumbed down to an extent...it kind of has to be tbf. I'll probably still love and tolerate some dumbing down withing reason.
 
btw Ofaloaf, the head guy who made the After the End mod is working on Vicky3 for Paradox.

Doesn't After the End have a TNO tier level of drama? I'm not familiar with the specifics of it...

Any if there's a modder to dev pipeline I can't wait to see what paradox circa. 2030 will look like.
