So how's the so called MC? Still litle shit? or is there some progress with him? All girls are super strong and super cute and even super smart lol so why MC is shit? I like the bater MC got with girls ...it is so rare this days to see it a man whos knows how to talk not just obey .... Really good job with it. Is there any sexy like really scene now?
When you consider that the MC's strength has already been clearly and categorically defined, in the story, as being his ability to make others not notice, or underestimate him, it's pretty clear that he's not supposed to be a Mr. Macho.
He's someone who observes and uses the opponent's weaknesses, to capitalise.

I think you are projecting too much of your own personality on the MC. As the game clearly shows he is intelligent and has some skills. He's just not drumming his chest all of the time - because he doesn't need to.

Not only it have been defined, but it also have been applied.
Both in the flashback from his past, but also with him categorically denying to have won his fight against this Ombra capo. And this being a big third of a whole quest, it need to be really blind to not see it.

It is confirmed. Hope does a next big overhaul and change the MCs image. I've received an exclusive preview access to the new image of the MC:

lol why are so mad, he just said his opinion about a fictional mc of a game, that is just his perspective.

I mean, I get it if u guys hate on trolls but not tolerating anyone that is saying something bad about the game is a little corny and obsessive.

It is about the HOW he has done that.
Instead of his semi passive agressive statements he could have written that in a more neutral tone and I believe we all woudn't have reacted the way we have. ;)

Well, it is quite an aggressive start barging into a thread and using foul language to talk about the game. The opinion you are referring to could easily be expressed in an acceptable way.

Also the underlying discrepancy here between the poster's obvious self image and how he comes over needed a comment.

Carta already said about the original poster's tone, and yes as he said it could have been put in much better words.

For instance, if it was me I would have phrased it as "Does the MC still act like a wimp/coward when he is in dangerous situation?"
Much better than continuously saying "shit" again, and again.

Also, how is MC currently being a wimp/coward (or in original poster's words "shit" lol) actually a bad thing (about the game)?

There's this thing called character development, you know lol.
The dev (HopesGaming) said before that the MC is supposed to be a coward now, but will go through transformation (both emotionally and physically) with certain events in the future where he will be capable and even dangerous (to his enemies).

From the original posters' comments, it seems like he's basically expecting a Gary Stu character in the MC (even when he's not even ready) from the get-go, and that's not what this game is supposed to be.
So as Carta said, he's basically just projecting what he wants the MC to be currently (which he is not), but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

No need to apologize man. Initially gave you a laugh emoji (Gary Stew), but felt it was inappropriate given your mom is no longer with you (unless you were kidding about that, I don't think you are, but I can't really tell from my end).

With time, our loved ones may no longer be around us, but they'll always live on in our memories.
Okay, I'll stop now, or I'll be in tears.

Siobhan situation in her own family, then her reaction when learning why the DeLuca are here. She wasn't just surprised, it looked more like a "how the fuck is this even possible ?" reaction.
You know, the update has been out since like April, so you don't really need to hide lines and lines of text under spoilers tag (I usually just use spoilers tag like for one week or so when the update releases. And if people get spoiled afterwards, it's not really my fault, since update has been out for considerable time by then).

I thought Siobhan had more of the WTF reaction as to MC's question "Why are you sad?"

She is literally dumbfounded (probably thinking "WTF is this guy talking about? :ROFLMAO: ), and Caterina & Amata also both dumbfounded, bursts into laughter (while Siobhan's face becomes red with annoyance/anger).
Man, I wish we could have seen renders of that scene play out (instead of just Siobhan standing in room pic, and her closeup pic).

It would have been great.

I know. But I also know that there's players who prefer to be left with their own thoughts. Not in a stuck up way, just that they prefer to be surprised, even if it mean they were wrong, over being right because of what someone else said.
That's why I spoilered my thoughts, while everything that was directly coming from the game wasn't.

This one was to be expected.

I don't remember precisely the lines, but all three expected to find nothing more than some scraps behind this unguarded door that was only standing out because it was recently painted ; or just from another color, not sure right now. Therefore, when you found the second daughter of the Don living in this room, you know she don't have the habit that someone care about her. Perhaps is it her desire to live here and to not be guarded, but even in this case I don't see someone from the family coming regularly to get some news.
And then come a soldato from another family, escorted by two capos ; what is already something unusual. And not only he cared about her, but he did it in the middle of a raid against her family ; "hey, I know I'm in the middle of beating your guys, and that some can come at anytime to try to beat me up, but can we take the time to talk about how you feel ?"
Who wouldn't have a WTF reaction face to this ?


She is literally dumbfounded (probably thinking "WTF is this guy talking about? :ROFLMAO: ),
I don't think it was her thoughts.

Firstly, it's not the habit for a soldato to talk to someone this high ranked. Secondly, if he do it, it's not with such freedom, and certainly not to talk about personal subjects. Thirdly, all this never ever happen when the soldato is from another family, even less under such circumstances.
What puzzled her is that, probably in this order:
  1. Someone care about her ;
  2. This someone is a simple soldato ;
  3. This soldato is from another family ;
  4. Her, who's part of the intel for her family (believed to be the head of the service) didn't knew that such person exist.
Side note: This give more weight to her "don't blindly believe the intel you have".
That Eiza's sister was here without her knowing it is one thing ; it's not necessary to tell her how the family will make her comply. But that she don't know that there's someone this atypical in the DeLuca family mean that she wasn't in charge of the intel behind his assassination attempt. And this is something totally different.
Even if she isn't (anymore?) the head of the intel, she's still the second daughter of the family, and still good at what she do. Yet she wasn't involved on the investigation regarding the assassination of someone living in the main house of one of the five families ? Only the persons really important live there. Even if it's just a soldato, it's a hit directly on the hearth of the family. And it's not a small family, it's one of the most important and powerful family. You need to plan this really well, because if you fail and your plausible denial don't works, it's the end of your family ; especially in this case, since the DeLuca wouldn't hesitate a single second to take revenge for that the Ombra did to the Carnefice.
When you plan this, you need someone who's good with intel and also fully understand what it mean and imply ; someone like Siobhan.



and Caterina & Amata also both dumbfounded, bursts into laughter (while Siobhan's face becomes red with annoyance/anger).
Here again I really doubt it's what happened. If she was annoyed or angered, she wouldn't have reacted like she did.
Do you really believe that the second daughter of the Ombra family would hesitate a single second to hit a soldato, even if he's from the DeLuca family, if she felt offended ? When Luna shots two guys (from the Fazio ?), they where the ones who apologized, and the family made amends for their behavior.
Of course, there were two Capos escorting him, but at most they would have made her stop before she kill him. Siobhan is a too high target, untouchable without direct orders ; especially during a shadow raid like this one. She know that, the two Capos know that.
Therefore, if it was annoyance or anger, she would have just injured MC, period ; "learn some respect kid ! And you, take it out of my view if you want to get him back in one piece."

No, what Siobhan reaction was is also what made Caterina and Amata laugh: The impassive Scorpion Princess was blushing like a teenager.
