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? It’s 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?

Are you aware of how Catholic confession works? It’s 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 she’s trapped at the Torrisi vineyard with no way to leave and nobody to talk to?

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 “each their own point of view” but alright.

What did I omit? If I did, it wasn't on purpose. Stop getting fucking pressed.
