He's a complete newbie to the mafia world, so it's only natural everyone else is better than him in terms of skills.
Luna's rank is Capo, Gottardo & "Serpent" are 4 Serpents level, Angelo, Caterina, Amita, Amata, are Capos, Onorina, Gildart etc are Wilfred's Division.
Even characters like Pelata, Biondo, Grey, Joey are Elite Soldatos and are much higher than him.
So it's not reasonable to expect him to be overpowered (whether in story or gameplay) since in terms of this mafia life, he's a "baby" and incredibly inexperienced.
He's meant to grow as a character.
When he gets out of his habit of just "using his cunning to be underestimated" & only reacting to his problems instead of taking active approach to solve them, then his growth will really climb I'd imagine.
But until then it's a climb to get stronger (little by little).
So it's for story reasons that he's weak now, and it makes sense for gameplay to be the same.
I mean as Whitey said, can't have him be Superman/Serpent level from day 1.
which there is other his age who can, plus dont forget he is close friend to jalen who is don's son which means he could picked some skills with his friend oh well its not my story to tell or to care if this game would turn out good or bad soon enough we will see.... but again at least he could pickup one or two skill in these missions he made then maybe it would be reasonable and beleavable....
oh well....

No, I did not say the dev should focus on the VN part. In fact, I said I HOPE HE DOES NOT attempt to develop the VN mode right now, and wait until either the game is finished or almost complete. Read it again.
I did not had any problem with cheat mod and many people did not have either, HOWEVER, I never contested your claim that some people DID have problems with cheat mods. Makes absolutely no sense to point it out, as if I was arguing against it. I NEVER SAID THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM!
HOWEVER, it would be 1 billion times faster and easier, to fix such issues, such as correct the code line that does not recognize stats over a certain threshold OR create a mini guide of what NOT TO DO, in order to avoid bugs.
Such as "DON'T INCREASE STATS ARTIFICIALLY, WAIT UNTIL STATS ARE REQUIRED, THEN PURCHASE ONLY THE AMOUNT REQUIRED THROUGH THE GAME'S SHOP"
Didn't took me more than 20 seconds to write a fix, that the developer took months to fix it. What method was faster? That's my point entirely.
He over spent his development time into something, that could've been dealt faster and easier. Instead of PROGRESSING THE STORY CONTENT, of which is still stuck on the same spot after YEARS of nothing.
I hope I won't have to write in caps and use bb code again in the future, heck I don't even want to keep this conversation alive.
So if you want to reply, at least do me a favor to reply about what I actually said. Not whatever you're doing.
I don't know why I have to say this, but... Whatever.
When you start the game you have 3 modes to choose.
1. Normal story mode, with all contracts fully working as the part of the game.
2. Free roaming mode, where contracts do not work/matter, plus a big stack of cash to buy required items, in order to advance in the story fast.
3. VN mode, still not developed.
Free roaming mode, was developed recently. It replaces the need of the old cheat mod entirely, to bypass the grind of the contracts part of the game.
My point was, using cheat mod, already net a very similar result, of which was bypass the contracts without needing to grind them. I can't be any more clear than that.
In that sense this task was redundant because the dev, choose to pursuit a path, that somewhat had been covered, and neglected the story progression as a collateral consequence.
Yes, the newest free roaming mode is better and safer than cheat mod, but in my opinion, he should've progressed the story instead. That is MY opinion. You may disagree and that's alright, but I do not find justifiable the years of wait, for no story content update.
That said, what is done, is done. The dev will do whatever he wants to do. It's his game, and the past cannot be changed.
However, as I said, I believe it was the wrong decision, and that is all that there is to it.
And also depending on how he did structure the code, now he'll have twice the amount of work in the line of code, because he'll have to feed both the main story path and the free roaming path. I really hope he did it properly and will be easy and quick, but who knows. That may or may not further impact the story progression of the game, we'll see.

But regarding this original post, I did not go too much into depth, you seem to get the wrong impression that there were "skills" as such, like "fancy moves" or similar. That is/was not the case. There was nothing you could do (story wise) that you couldn't do later. It was a different system that had different tools, but in which there was nothing special (you never knew how a mission went, you would only get a screen which either said "success" or "failure").
So in essence you are considering it the programmer's fault that there are no safeguards against players modifying values as they want and no explanations on how not to cheat? He should write code so values which are impossible to get in game should not lead to crashing? He should consider all possible scenarios that wouldn't appear in game whether or not they work and make a handy chart? I fail to see how that would be faster.
The idea of a game is playing it, it is not modding it. Sure, you can have fun with mods (including stat changes), but if they don't work, the game doesn't need a "fix". Unless I completely misunderstand what you are saying, that would be taking time away from developing the actual game for the potential benefit of shortcut seekers who are not even able to check whether their shortcut works.

Have you ever red what i said? why do u talk about the first try then? i said, once the missions are green, meaning once u finished them several times and 100% them
I have the same exact bug, and I started fresh with the last update, so IMO it is definitely a game breaking bug

His other posts about VN-mode should be waited until the game is almost complete makes absolutely no sense either.
I mean granted, I only play Full Experience mode only so if that gets developed quickly I'd be happy but what about all those subset of players who have been waiting all this time for that VN mode?
Is he saying they should wait even longer for that mode to even start?
For a game that's gonna be multi-seasons (and likely to last at least couple of years)?
LOL easy for him to say, given he plays either through "Full Experience" (with cheat mods) or "Only Story + Freeroaming."
Try telling that to people who are waiting for VN mode (I mean not that I count how many are waiting, but I'd assume there are some of those people as subset of player base of DeLuca).
Dude, you're delusional if you seriously think Dev should change his game just to cater for people cheating through unsupported mods by changing his code or a mini-guide which actually says "Don't increase stats artificially" lol
Let me give you a real life example:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
It's not the Dev's responsibility to give such warnings.
Any mods that aren't made by the dev himself (either within the game as built-in or as a separate mod), it's the player's own responsibility (that should be basic common sense lol) for artificially raising the stats.
It's the same reasoning for the Code as well.
The Dev does not have responsibility to change the code just to cater for a small subset of people who wish to cheat, if the result isn't possible to get in a normal way and would end up crashing.
And you seem to be continuing to imply Freeroam mode looks to have taken a lot of time.
Well perhaps it did perhaps it didn't.
Noone knows that except for the dev.
But one thing is for sure.
Long time of development especially between v0.07 & v0.08 the dev already explained it was a lot of real life matters getting in the way which caused the delay.
So while on one hand you could be right in that Freeroam mode may have ate up some development time, on the other hand, it could also have not taken as much as one would expect.
Only Hopes (the dev) would be able to answer that.

That was my mistake (my bad).
In my defense, waking up way too early without a cup of coffee will do that to me sometimes, heh.

By Contracts, do you both mean Wilfred's D-contracts?
So you're saying you selected "Contracts" button (on first screen), but no D-contracts show up (i.e. Nimble Fingers, The Painter etc?)? It all comes up..... empty?
no we are talking about the contract i in the "Main event" part of the journal, the one you have to do to become soldato. i made this poste with some stcreen.

"The Contract"?
Did you try this method (quoted my old post)?
Above steps will complete "The Contract" event (that is, if everything works properly).

If you don't have The Contract you did not install the patch. To install you need to extract all of the files from the zip file into your game folder. It should asked you to overwrite 39 files
