That stuff is silly and if anyone wants to buy it, he and his money deserve to be parted.  But charging for basic personalization options?  It&#8217;s not unlike THQ charging you for cheat codes in Saints Row 3.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With the new Crusader Kings II: Ruler Designer DLC all these are in your hands. Customize your character your way. Tweak and change any aspect of the character or even create an all new character and dynasty to play with. Create your portrait, change the name and dynasty and even customize your coat of arms. Change traits and stats at will and decide the size of the immediate family. The game that lets you choose your goals will now let you choose your character.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In my day, we could name our dudes in X-Com whatever we wanted and we didn&#8217;t have to pay $5!  If I want to do things to customize my experience in a game, I shouldn&#8217;t have to pay extra.  DLC should be content, not options that already belong in the core game.<\/p>\n<p>The Ruler Designer will be available for $5 in a few weeks.  Don&#8217;t buy it.
