Just finished the update, and
HopesGaming, I must thank you from the bottom of my heart for another great one.
Despite this being a smaller update than usual, it just comes to show that it makes no difference (well, can't speak for others but for me it doesn't) as long as "story is king", and with DeLuca, it always has been that with you as its storyteller (don't ever change who you are man, no matter how much some may try to bash you or pressure you with the rushed sexual content).
The 2 events (1 Isabel, & 1 Wilfred + Luna +Gracie) in this update were both heartwarming in different ways - I liked the resolution of Isabel's current arc, while finding out more about her. With Wilfred's event, it was adorable seeing Luna & Gracie (!) in their early childhood (I even loved seeing them be playful with each other, with MC & Wilfred being observers).
Okay, now some questions for ya:
1) I think I remember you saying previously (quite a while ago I think) that Luna (who purely loves MC) will be unwilling to share MC with other girls (compared to Gracie who is curious & wants exploration, & for Isabel, I don't remember what you said lol).
With Luna, I'm just asking out of curiosity, is that still the case? (i.e. later down the line, Luna will not respond well to MC being involved with other girls, with MC being given an ultimatum to choose?) Or are you feeling about it differently now?
2) This is a question that is kinda related to question 1. Some Devs implement a stat called "cheat points" where if the player has the MC cheat on a character, these points stack up and ultimately affect the game's ending (assuming the game has multiple endings).
Again, I'm not asking you to implement this (Since you'll have your own vision of the ending/s), but what are your thoughts on this approach by some Devs (again asking out of curiosity, nothing more than your thoughs on it, and also it's not to criticise those Devs who implement this)?
3) We've seen one retired Capo of the DeLuca Family with Isabel & Gracie's freezer room event. So this might be more of a lore question, what do Capos actually do when they retire (not just DeLuca capos, but all Capos in general)? And is being "retired" actually being out of "the game" (of mafia life)?
I'd imagine even though they're retired, in reality, they're not really out of it because of their Omerta Oath (which is for life) & would need to answer their Family's "call in need" even when they're in retirement. But that's just my interpretation of it.
4) Wilfred's flashback of Luna & Gracie in "Portend", in terms of chronology, how long ago was it before Luna's kidnapping in "My name is Luna" flashback?
5) Not sure whether this is spoilers or not, but since we find out about Isabel's grandfather & uncles in Isabel's event, any chance we'll get to meet them somewhere down the line? Or would you say it's unlikely given Isabel's family are basically "outsiders" (people living outside of Lucania)?
6) (Hoping this isn't too much of spoilers) If you could describe the personality of the remaining Serpents (Cynthia, 4th unrevealed Serpent) in just one word (for each of them), what would be best used to describe them?
7) This isn't a question, but have to admit, the "she-devils" dynamic between Luna & Gracie in Isabel's event was dynamite level. Now I'm imagining when Charvi (Jalen's sister) gets added to that mix. Damn, that dynamic feels like it may potentially go into the nuke level
with that trinity.
Take care of yourself Hopes. I enjoyed the update greatly, and am excited for what's to come in its future.
