That incest is btw mostly meme, it happens pretty rarily in game, though there is one incest achievement on steam. Murders also got (steathily?) nerfed at some point, currently it somehow ALWAYS surfaces even if done in utmost secrecy, if your character lives long enough sooner or later someone completely unrelated would come to blackmail you for it (and if that person is your own vassal better murder him ASAP too, since your vassal getting hook on you can potentially even wreck your entire gameplay, like when some 0 stat dude forces himself into your council).
Last patch btw got plots reworked now they are much better and less random.
Yeah, though i found landless characters blackmailing me not even very big problem, i don’t remember any of the even demanding something dramatic. The real nasty blackmail is demanding council post, they can potentially drive you to bankrupcy or civil war or even death depending on their skill and post, and this can only be done by vassal, usually it’s better to just get your secret revealed and eat up the maluses (only exception i think if you are vassal and the secret can make your liege to revoke your titles), or if you are good with inbtrigue accept and murder them too.
I mostly play with mods though and i like new system, recently i pulled out assassination with -1800 initial chance, though it took LONG.
It’s not a big problem because landless adventurer NPCs don’t really do anything atm, but the game doesn’t pause when you get a blackmail and it is really bad to suddenly have your screen obscured by a popup window while in-game time is still passing.

I think the game currently has a problem with landless characters blackmailing you too often, but otherwise the new plot system seems fine.
