Good update
I personally like the story side of things and how they connect.
Since the developers are so active on the board I thought I would throw in my 2 cents. I give this feedback with the utmost respect, I really like/love the game, just a few things that hit me that didn't make a lot of sense.
Given the history of Val - IMO she would have never joked about shooting the MC in the back of the head if she was with the mob.
The MC testified, put someone in the mob in prison for murder, he gets out somehow at the end of esp 2 and 7 weeks later the MC is just finding out about this when his dad tells him?
Nah, there would be federal agents on the ground shadowing the MC as soon as that guy from the mob got out of prison.
The MC is in the shower and sees his dad is calling and he doesn't have time to answer it? That must be him letting me know everything went alright? I will check the VM when I get a moment? MC gets dressed and starts reading a book on his phone....but you don't check the VM? The MC is more worried about Anthena, and an hour has passed? But yet the MC woke up with nightmares the night before when the MC was with Val?
Ummmm not in a million years would that happen, the MC would jump out of the shower so fast to answer his phone.
The next day happens and the MC still has not checked his vm?
But the MC takes a call from Val?
That sequence wasn't very good.
The MC also would have an open dialogue with the federal agents about how his dad was doing etc.
The marshalls would have never waited 2 days to tell the MC in person, as I mentioned before they would have already been on the ground, but, let's say they weren't, it would have not taken them 2 days to get to the MC - local police would have been involved immediately to protect the MC also FBI.
I think the better option would be to get rid of the shower scene where the MC missed his dad's call and make it where since his phone was dead he missed his dad's call the previous night, the dean, Sadie show up at the MC's house, with at least two federal agents, the safehouse was ambushed the previous night and his father is dead and go from there.
One other thing about the story;
No father would allow his son on the witness stand to face up against the Mob, (especially with the information he had) also the FBI who I am assuming this is a federal case would never go after a murder charge when they have someone that could testify and take down the entire operation and put everyone in prison for 10 to 20 years. But that is jmo
I like/love the character development, you guys provided some serious depth to Val, Mora, and Athena.
Also inner conflict with Zenda at that party, basically fulfilling her obligation to be there and be seen as a family duty. That hit me, I have a very wealthy friend and she hated that family obligation stuff, funny she is with doctors without borders now, lives in a tent, it's a nice one, but it's a tent, helping people.
