Finally played the update, and wow, just wow. Luna's flashback in "My name is Luna" really pulls the heartstrings, and goes to dark places. Thanks so much
HopesGaming for such a superb job with the storylines. I enjoyed it A LOT -feeling, happy, sad, and angry with what Luna went through, and do not regret seeing the full version of Luna's past.
* If there was any issue with the update, I did notice there being couple of spelling/grammar errors sometimes (most noticeable in Antonio & Angelo's convo before we see Antonio fight (& slaughter) the 4 mercenaries, though there were in other parts as well), but this is not a major issue, and I have a feeling these little errors will be ironed out with mini-updates in the future.
And now for some questions:
1) The DeLucas have "the 4 Serpents", "The Capos", and other special soldiers like "Wilfred's squad." So other than Cordia's sense of honor & moral values, what exactly stops DeLuca Family from mowing over the other 4 Big crime Familes? Do the rest of the Big 5 have any defenses or unique individuals (perhaps rivals to Serpents) to keep the DeLuca family at bay, possibly forcing a stalemate?
2) Early on in the game, MC is given 2 options, either audio recording or video cameras to spy on the rest of the family (after he is poisoned). I was just wondering, will there be any consequences/punishements for this choice later down the line (I got saves for both choices, audio & camera)?
I mean maybe this is just me, but for example, if Cordia happens to find out what MC has been doing (spying on the family), how will she react? I can see her being more forgiving if he only used audio recorders (like she forgave him for sneaking into her office for look for his contract). I can see her being less forgiving (and perhaps even punish the MC) with the cameras though.
3) Are there any plans on giving Cordia her own set of free-roam events (like Luna, Gracie, Isabel) in the future when MC's rank rises?
4) The DeLuca girls (i.e. Luna & Gracie) seem to have grown up in a sheltered life, which is especially evident with Gracie where MC even wonders what kind of upbringing she went through (in night time talk with the girls at Beach prison/hideout scene), and her subsequent events.
Also, with Cordia being extra protective of Gracie (compared to Luna), are these things that may possibly be explored in future updates (i.e. why girls were brought up this way, & why Cordia is so protective of Gracie, trying to steer her as far away from family business as possible etc)?
5) MC seeing a movie with Luna & Gracie in "Femme Fatale" event is the catalyst for Luna buying a dress and going on a date with MC. In that event, Gracie says Cynthia, one of the Serpents, accompanies Cordia to Galas wearing dresses etc. So that got me thinking.
What do you think about MC and Luna going undercover to a rival family's formal social event (like gala etc), which ends up mixing work & pleasure (James Bond style? lol)?
6) Still curious as to why Gracie hates Isabel so much (compared to Luna, who has no problems with Isabel at all).
7) So we find out that Cordia was Wilfred's pupil. But who taught Wilfred everything he knows? Will we find out, or would that remain a mystery (I actually fine eithe way - finding more out about Wilfred would be cool, but Wilfred does have that aura of mysteriousness where his age & DOB are in "??" marks compared to other main cast, so keeping that mystery as an unknown factor is cool too)
8) "Pops" Kaskar. The best mentor one could have in terms of lessons in life
. Here's hoping we see more "lessons" he gave to Hope & Jalen in the future.
9) Love your idea of Encyclopedia for the Side characters like "the 4 Serpents" etc. This is something that I think might look cool, but what are your thoughts on adding a map of Lucania (which pin-points all major story or free-roaming locations) to the encyclopedia section (as perhaps something extra to add, like the Scene Gallery?)?
Through the map, it would be nice to see for example:
- Where in Lucania is the DeLuca Family mansion?
- How far away is Musala Hill (Luna's explosives carrying molesting Bee location lol) from the Town & DeLuca mansion
- Where in Lucania is the Beach prison/hideout?
- Location of under-the-cave retaurant MC took Luna on their date
and so on, and so on.
