Well, when a huge part of the gameplay changes, due to the code change saves obviously won't work. Several great games went through restarts such as Summer's Gone, Where it All Began, City of Broken Dreamers. So DeLuca definitely isn't the first game to go through something like this, and it definitely won't be the last (and I'm no expert, but I just don't see how Devs will use "import old saves" especially if they are no longer compatible to the new code. I mean even if it somehow works, just seems like a lot of hassle for something the player can solve with fast ctrl skip and an online walkthrough).
Grind really isn't all that bad in the game I think. There is a little bit in the beginning, but as the player goes through more events MC starts earning more money and with better equipment Contracts do get easier to do.
But if the player really doesn't like the gameplay, well the game does give you the option to choose "VN style only" to opt out of the gameplay altogether.
Actually, I support this theory for couple of reasons (other than Isabel situation, though I agree with that too):
1) Antonio bears little resemblance to Lucan, with the whole black hairline.
Yes, anyone can have black hairline, but "Serpent" actually notes black hair with little streaks of gray being one of the defining traits of MC's father. Luna and Gracie both seem to take some resemblance from Lucan, at least in terms of physical traits.
2) Angelo's remarks in the Straffan mission
Angelo, one of the Capos wonders whether Antonio will be more like Cordia or his own father, and notes about Antonio's temper (shooting at the dead mercenary multiple times, pissed off) being more like his father.
Now, while we see only little bit of Lucan's life, he's considered to be a gentle and kind man who didn't hurt anyone in his life (and only got involved in the Family by marrying Cordia. While some may say it can be a facade, I just think it's unlikely).
I just don't believe Antonio's father that Angelo was mentioning was Lucan at all.
Hmmm may just add Angelo the Capo to this list of all the Family members who know about MC in the future depending on how everything plays out.
Why? Well, it's clear Angelo is familiar to some extent with Antonio's father, and have met him and knows what he is like.
Taking the assumption Lucan ≠ Antonio's father as I said above, we can sort of piece it together with Angelo's remarks towards the MC when they meet for the first time in Straffan mission. Angelo says regarding MC (towards Caterina when MC talks to them) "He reminds me of someone"
And that someone I think = Antonio's father.
No offense man, but I really wish you used full stops, spaces and paragraphs for your post. Reading your post gave me a big headache.
But anyway, I don't really think I have any doubts that Cordia is Antonio's actual (biological) mother. The game's lore till now hasn't given me any reason to doubt that tbh (even with that inner monologue of Antonio).
Only thing which raises suspicions to me is identity of Antonio's father (which as I said above, I don't think it's Lucan at all, and most likely MC's father, making MC & Antonio half-brothers).
Also, given that Hopes has said from very beginning that there will be no incest in DeLuca at all, I don't think Cordia is MC's biological mother, especially given Cordia is one of the romanceable girls in the game (plus she basically told MC the same in the Don's office event when MC gets caught by her while sneaking around).
Yeah, highly doubt it, especially Hopes saying "No" to the question "Will there be incest in the game?" on his Patreon page.
