Oh yeah, and during Prince Ceowulf's reign I discovered the first instance I've ever seen of a woman who is both absolutely gorgeous and hideous at the same time. Perhaps she oscillates in a permanent flux of aesthetic quality. It arose after the event that causes one of your Republic male relatives marrying an ugly wife in exchange for a hefty sum of gold, generating a character on the spot with the ugly trait added on. The game generated a character who was handsome and slapped the ugly trait on her... Meaning the most attractive woman in all of Europe was hideous.

I imagine it's like these theatrical masks, you know, with one side smiling, the other sad? Except in this case, she's hideous on one side, beautiful on the other, like an extreme case of having a better side.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

The way I see it, the character would be physically ugly but have an absolutely amazing personality.

Hmm, yeah, could be one of those people who isn't good looking until they smile. I've known a few like that.

Maybe it's just that she's the most gorgeous woman at court... but she's still pretty damn ugly. Of course that would imply that the rest of the females at court had the ugly trait as well.

Oooorrr, she's got a beautiful body but an ugly face? At least, that's what made sense to me when I saw that.

Unfortunately, brown paper bags weren't invented until the mid 19th century, so she's out of luck~

Those lucky dwarves, despite the risk of being stabbed, shots, poisoned, eaten, mauled, enslaved, eviscerated or involved in accidents... at least they don’t have to worry about immediate dangers like the heat death of the universe.

400 years in my current "hop around and do random shit" game and Irminsul got destroyed. Guess I'm not going to end up reforming the norse religion. Charlemagne ended up Lollard early on and since then France has been a hive of heresy and catholicism has splintered, but over the past century or so catholic heresies have been almost extinguished from a couple crusades and various holy wars. And all my attempts at making judaism a thing without being overly gamey have failed thus far  :( . It's remarkably hard to do things when you've only got one life.

Yes, that is a problem of being mortal. If only you could be some kind of immortal god capable of transferring your soul and consciousness into other sentient beings like an akashic vampire.

There's a sorcery mod on the Steam workshop and Paradox forums that has the ability to transfer your consciousness to another person.
