The contracts walkthrough from whichone is great, but is there one that gives you 100% on all the contracts

From the looks of it depending on how you do, contracts changes colour from Yellow > Orange > Green, Green of course being 100% completion, which I was able to do for "Nimble Finger" but don't ask me how, I have no clue on how I did it.

I wonder if we might compete with him for a place in the Frenetico?

My guess is, our MC will.
And not just Frenetico, since Hopes said the 4 Serpents will take MC and his rival (Dominico) to train in the mountains, my guess is he will also be one of the next generation of 4 Serpents who would include the following individuals:

1) MC
2) Luna
3) Gracie
4) Dominico

Actually thought (before recent update that) Jalen might join the DeLucas at some point due to a circumstance and become MC's rival, but I guess I was wrong about that heh.


Though come to think of it, I'm more interested in our MC competing against Luna than Dominico for the Frenetico Tournament :LOL:

lol where you say he becomes a Serpent, I had a similar thought for him.
Where he's like the anti-hero, always competing with MC, seems as though they don't like each other, then one day saves MC/MC saves him and the bond of respect is formed.
From there they're the rising top boys in the firm.

I have a feeling the 4 Serpents when they take those 2 to the mountains to train, they're literallly gonna be put through Serpents' "train in Hell" program, that they might be put in situation where they're forced to help each other or otherwise risk failing or something.
From there some sort of degree of respect might grow I think.
And as they fight together against the Family's enemies, who knows it may evolve to friendship (which may be rare for Dominico's case, since he generally has the tendancy to piss people off, not just the MC but also his fellow colleagues as shown by the opening introduction lol)

I finished playing the update again and a few thoughts as I originally reviewed this game some time ago but I'm not going to amend my review.

The most annoying thing from my perspective was to start over...there was a lot of content there to begin with...and playing through it again was not something I wanted to do...but hey, it had been a long time since I played so I had forgotten a decent amount.

The story and graphics are still great. The contract system is a noticeable improvement. I guess from my perspective, was it worth the extra time for those improvements and a small amount of new content? IMHO, no. But I'm not a Patreon subscriber to this dev (I only subscribe games AFTER they've been completed for this very reason) so I can't really complain too much since I'm not paying every month hoping for new content.

I can only hope that this game starts seeing regular updates again.

lol Sounds gruelling, makes me think of something equivalent to the

!
But, yes! Exactly that type of thing.
They're fierce competitors & rivals all the way through, getting on each other's nerves, then a redeeming act that bonds them.
Maybe MC sacrifices a win to help Dominico, if he gets hurt, or something.

Anon4321 OK, ran through Contracts.
For Nimble fingers, I did all encounters, but did not visit the Market Stall or the woman's house & got Orange.
All encounters plus visit to the Market Stall got Green.
For Snooping Bonans, I completed all checks, even went to the pub to get a drink, got S Class but still Yellow.
There is nothing more that can be done, I explored every square so cannot see anything being missed.
Same for the others. There are multiple ways to end The Painter, but you'd expect Green to be gained by passing all checks and gaining S Class, but that's still Yellow, too.

Only Nimble Fingers has Hopes as its creator. Assume it's not possible on the ones created by other people, for some reason.

Are you sure its based off completion? I vaguely remember that happening in the previous version and I thought it had to do with the difficulty of the mission compared to your stats/equipment/rank.

I redid the contracts again to test it out, and it resulted in the following:

Snap 2021-04-30 at 14.28.18.png

Not sure why I'm not getting green for Nimble Fingers.
Fought the guard by the museum, fought the guy harassing the girl, interacted with the dog, stealthily stole jewellery at the right or left house option, and went to the market place.

Don't know what I'm missing to be honest.

Ah, got it now.
You gotta do it both ways.
For the guy harassing the girl, the second time I just stole his jacket.
Then fought the elite soldato by the museum, then stole the jewels at the houses using stealth then went to market place. Afterwards got the green.

Yeah, you need to steal the guy's jacket, then continue exploring & beat him up.

Well, Nimble fingers, the one done by Hopes, has a Yellow, Orange & Green, escalating based on more completion.
The other 4 were not done by Hopes, and those ones we've only been able to get Yellow on.

Heh, don't think I realized it before, but I'm actually kinda glad that we can still get to see Amata's lewd even after MC's knowledge stats increased.
Previously thought we could only see that Lewd when we get "knowledge failure" but now, even with high knowledge stat, we can still choose to ignore her remarks and contract plays out mostly the same (except for MC's remark "Did she think she fooled me with that trick?" when watching our feisty nun go naughty :LOL: )

Can someone fully explain the difference between "Full experience" and "Only Story+freeroaming". I want to know what I'll be missing out on and what I'll be gaining from playing the different modes.

11 Main Story missions.
4 Side missions.
5 Luna missions.
8 Gracie missions.
9 Isabel missions.

No idea what % of completion it is, but there's plenty of content.

and if you read through it all, will be playing for a good 6-10 hours depending on how fast of a reader you are.
