So I have around 500hrs on this game and I don't know why so many people are complaining about "bare bone mechanics" compared to CK2.

CK2 is a game from 2012 and has around 30+ expansions, so of course it would have more content than CK3

The game is great and I enjoyed every single one of my playthroughs, I have played from the base game all the way to the Fate of Iberia and it's been really fun.

One of the best games of 2015. Very addicting and fun to play with friends. Recommend to everyone. I downloaded the game at 8 pm and wanted to play for a bit and looked a the clock and realized i played for 5 hours :D. 11/10 ign
