I don’t really have much of an issue with how Paradox does things… Their games are more like game engines that they spend the next 15+ years developing for.
Also, with each DLC, they put out a (usually massive) free update for everyone who owns the base game. So even if you don’t get any DLC, you will end up getting some of the new features for free.

The entire game is a series of chained together escort quests through dangerous territories, at awkward speed.
With extremely frequent pauses so the NPCs can spend 40 seconds fawning over the exact same flower they saw two feet back.
