If I was in Enzo's place I would've risked it all for her as well

Only difference, I wouldāve killed Tino when we were alone and I wouldāve killed Cesare in the dual.

Honestly same And I would've admitted earlier like "Hey look,I love Isabella and she loves me back and doesn't wanna marry the person you're setting her up with. I've proved myself more than once I deserve this chance." And I would've killed Tino because god he sucked every time he gave that look I was just like "What are you looking at?"

I would have done the John Wick thing and negotiated with Don Torisi before the Opera. āIāll go on this suicide mission to kill all of your enemies, but I want to marry Isabellaā
He would have been āsure, one man against an army, thereās no way heās getting out of there alive, and I canāt afford to kill someone willing to go on a suicide mission against my enemiesā
Then when Enzo returned battered and bloody, Torisi would have been honor bound to grant that request.

She shouldāve just ran away escaped and waited for Enzo in Empire Bay while he orchestrated his own way out with all the trust he built with torrisi I wouldnāt even of been surprised if he sent Enzo, cesare and Leo to ābring her backā

Your right I think Luca if survived, Tino, torrisi Luca wouldāve stayed behind in Sicily running things since they were the underboss & consigliere and torrisi wouldāve forsure sent tino to America to track the progress of locating Isabella

It would have never worked, she says. In a few missions, she's not even allowed out of the house. I think it's the mission where she and The Baron's boy get kidnapped, but she says something along the lines of when she wanted this study in the mainland, her dad broke almost every glass in the house.

She was kinda careless with her encounters with Enzo and confessing at the church inside her FATHER`S compound (Like, wtf... You think the priest won`t say anything when asked? C`mon). Not impossible, don`t get me wrong. But it made me feel like if she were just a bit smarter, things would`ve worked out for both.
Maybe that's the point, but it's a bit frustrating that they got caught for the dumbest reasons.

Are you forgetting that the preist only dropped her secrets when his life was in danger because he sheltered the last Spadaro captain? Itās not like he was out there speaking on her secrets for fun, it was only when worst came to worst. Had the last Spadaro captain decided to hide out in a shed instead of a church Enzo and Isabella would have made it to Empire Bay

Had Isabella kept her mouth shut, both of them would be in Empire Bay. Simple as that. Are you really gonna trust a priest with information that can get the person you love the most killed?
I know the priest was threatened. I think it's stupid that she confessed to him in the first place, knowing full well that her father can extract information from anyone. If she really wanted to confess due to her faith, maybe find a priest who doesn't live in her father`s villa?

u/Key_Kollection 5h ago
Are you aware of how Catholic confession works? Itās meant to be a holy pact, that the priest can never divulge your information. And how would you suggest she get to another priest when throughout the whole game like half of her character is how sheās trapped at the Torrisi vineyard with no way to leave and nobody to talk to?

u/Ok-Nature-4133 4h ago
I know how it works, and I think it`s naive on her part to actually believe the priest would keep his mouth shut if threatened. Quite dumb, actually, not just naive. Like holy shit, what did she expect? She knows what her father is capable of. I know it`s a holy pact, but that hasn't stopped any priest (or even therapists) from divulging information. Unless she is really indoctrinated (which she isn`t, since she herself had sex before marriage).
Second, I get what you mean, but she could leave. She spent a night in Enzo`s house. So it`s not like she was Rapunzel. She also goes out with Valentina when she meets Enzo at a street fair. She had her ways of going out, even if she had to lie about it.
Third, she had Valentina to talk to.
Fourth, if we take your comment as 100% fact, my suggestion would be to shut the fuck up and lie low until Enzo comes to get her. Fuck the confession, his life is on the line. Is it truly worth it to open your mouth? Was she that naive? Maybe. I`m not saying it`s a plothole. I`m saying I started resenting the character due to the number of stupid decisions she makes. Maybe it was on purpose, maybe it was contrived. Who knows?
If you disagree, that`s fine. Each with their own point of view. That`s what art is all about.

Purposefully omitting parts of the story is not āeach their own point of viewā but alright.

u/Ok-Nature-4133 4h ago
What did I omit? If I did, it wasn't on purpose. Stop getting fucking pressed.

The only character at the end of any mafia game that I actually feel bad for, maybe outside of Ralphie, but even he had his own deserved. Probably also one of the most well-written characters in the franchise outside of a protagonist. Definitely hoping we will see her in a Mafia 2 prequel.

They did a great job with her. Pretty sure everyone understands why Enzo risked everything for her

I honestly was annoyed with her because she put Enzo in a difficult situation. I get it Enzo felt the same way about her but she knew what her dad was capable of and and Enzo was trying to earn his trust but that wasn't good enough for her. Again I'm not pinning everything that happened later in the story on her but she really wasn't looking at things from Enzo's perspective.

She made the story kinda predictable. The moment they kissed I saw Enzo being killed off in the end. Itās an age old stable boy meets princess story. Old Country was good overall but not the strongest in the Mafia games line-up.

Beautiful woman, but not the brightest. Like, you think the freaking Priest that's essentially on your pops' payroll is the one to talk about your affair to? Jesus Christ, girl (no pun intended).

u/Key_Kollection 5h ago
I feel like none of you actually watched the cutscenes. Tino was about to murder Father Ciccone for sheltering the Spadaro captain. Itās not like he was sharing her secrets for fun. And itās not an affair.
