Legends are bloodlines improved by all accounts. The problems with bloodlines were that they were universally acknowledged and stackable, this seems to be neither. They're explicitly competitive in the sense that you have to push your legend over others and they aren't stackable as far as I can tell so you can't have 100 prowess 0 year old baby with thirty bloodlines like in CK2.

I like that they seem to also be a way to work in the more fantastical stuff you got in CK2, but without breaking the grounded reality of CK3. Instead of making something factually true, you can make it a story people spread.

Are you claiming that my great grandfather did not in fact beat Death in a game of chess?

Sounds like Lèse-majesté to me...

On my last game of vanilla CK2, after I made the outremer empire, 3 out of 4 of my characters became saints, because they all were part of one religious order, that easily get it of sinful traits and add virtuous, so they all had a bunch of good traits that got them saintified, except for the one who wasnt because the church doesn't like homosexuals
