Gotta say, this game took a weird turn after the prologue (and there was some weirdness in tge prologue anyway)
Feels like the MC got castrated during the 20 years he was away...or at least when it comes to those he left behind (he's even become a bit of a simp around Lucas for some reason). He has no actual fortitude when dealing with Olivia, Mia, and Ellie, and the Ellie story just feels like a lumpy, thoughtless, halfassed, revenge story against Olivia and/or Lucas. And the story with Liv and Mia is awkward and unrealistic (to how the characters were in the prologue). How did Mia turn so angry emo about everything (I sort of get being mad at/about dad...but this bitch is a walking time bomb)? Olivia was obviously open about their past, and was a doting mother to her and Ellie (and lets get real...anyone who has half a brain knows Ellie is MC's daughter with Olivia) but hasn't been honest with Ellie? And Mia knows her mother's name and has a picture of her parents, but doesn't recognize john at all...not even an inkling?
And this new sump comes back home and starts lying to his daughter, but had no problem telling the truth when he thought Ellie was Mia?
And come on...its obvious the "new leader" of the black dragon gang is Lucas. Which doesn't fit with his character from the prologue...nor does hiding all of that from the MC
Plus, after 20 years of growing the MC isn't a better human being? I get that when he was younger his family life screwed him up and that led to some weird events (hookers, manipulating Lilly, raping Olivia...etc), but 20 years of trying to live a clean life away from the gangs to protect those he loves hasn't helped him to grow? 20 years and he's still a sex crazed tool, but now he's a weak, simp tool.
I'm hoping the next update is more clear and fitting
