Breach: Chicago War Zone WIP Mod Menu WIP

[daniellwtf]

Our PC (playable character) ain't John Wick. I really don’t understand how PC can successfully kill the main trio.
They have neither the experience, nor the training, nor the allies to do this; it's just impossible for them, especially considering that the trio's are author's pets.
I have a feeling that there's going to be an asspull that PC has all along been a super soldier with dormant powers or something like that.

We have Rook and Bishop. We also gain help from that super-powerful company (idr the name, but the one we had to go up the tower and is said to have as much power as a country) Also, MC feats are sometimes easily top-tier; the problem is that everyone from the ghost company seems to be Captain America-tier.

I think that the PC's dad was the Ghost that Gabriel, Michael and Raquel were under that was searching for the Crusaders thus they new his mom as well. Just my thought at least.

That's basically confirmed, no? i remember the game telling you that.

 

[Raistlan71]

It is not confirmed yet at all, it is a theory of me and quite a few from the super enlightened channel solely going from hints as well as prior short stories and the such.

Weird. I never went deep into the lore, but I remember getting the same information. I think Gabriel's sister tells us about it or something. It's been a long time, but yeah, I'm pretty sure someone tells us that Dante was their superior in the ghost company. Then he saw they were being lied to, and that led to Gabriel and his team doing what they are doing.

 

[Raistlan71]

No that part you are correct,. I was refering to my assumptions that Dante is the MC's father.

We have Rook and Bishop.

That’s true, but I don’t think that’ll be enough, given that the trio are in a league of their own, and apart from the US Archangels, they’ve got Canadian allies, including Gabriella, who is a Ghost. Who knows how many other former Ghosts they’ve got; I wouldn’t be surprised if Wolf was one of them.

VamCorp. All they’ve given us so far are empty promises, and Cas, who was sent to spy on us. What’s more, their CEO is buddies with the Archangels. I doubt she’ll openly offer any assistance.

Also, MC feats are sometimes easily top-tier;

What sort of feats? Were there even any? PC doesn’t do anything useful. I remember, in Chapter 4, Part 2, the PC couldn’t handle a single thug, Sorez, whilst Gabriel was taking on a whole crowd. He even beats the PC up regardless of whether you passed the 2 consecutive checks or not and almost kills PC, but Gabriel saved them. Or, as in the second book, when you’re looking for the blueprint of the Bank’s basement, your Ramiel and Uriel turn into killing machines and take out 15–20 mobsters, whilst the PC stood in fear behind them, terrified by all the gunfire.

PC aren’t just useless; they’re a liability that the crew and the Trio have to carry. I’ve lost count of how many times when PC has either simply stood on the sidelines watching events unfold, or has literally been a damsel in distress.

 

[babosik10]

And yes, you are correct, PC’s father, Dante, was Gabriel’s mentor, whilst PC’s mother, Luciana, was Gabriella’s mentor.

 

[Raistlan71]

Sadly you are correct in many aspects, right now can the MC go toe to toe with the Trio and win, not a chance, but he is by far not useless, you have to consider that a month ago he barely new how to really fire a gun and even do proper heists yet now he has does his fair share of killing and fighting even holding his own for the most part. He can even come up with some rather good plans for his heists and such. This is all within a month time, in a year he could be on par with Ghosts then. If he survives long enough I can see him being a real threat to the Ghosts, the Trio and whomever he felt like going against, but that means surviving then training almost religiously.

 

[babosik10]

To be honest, if Gabriel hadn’t known the PC personally, they would have been nothing more than associates in terms of ranks, they wouldn't be Raphael. The narrative makes it clear that the PC falls far short of the level of the crew they lead in terms of skills and experience. Members of your crew used to rob banks and jewellers’ shops, whilst the PC, at that time, was robbing convenience stores and liquor stores – which was the limit of their capabilities.

That’s why I’m playing as an undercover officer. At least in the FBI path the PC isn’t quite so irrelevant, and they are a very capable cop and an excellent detective. Whereas the PC as Archangel, let’s be real here, is pretty useless, and replacing them with someone more experienced would be a piece of cake. The only reason the PC has got this far is thanks to Gabriel’s favouritism; without the Trio, the PC is nothing.
That’s why I like the FBI route so much, because in it, the PC isn’t a dead weight; they’re a genuinely useful member of the task force. And unlike the Archangels, no one puts them on an undeserved pedestal, kisses their arse or coddles them. And they don’t get free, undeserved promotions. PC hasn’t earned Gabriel’s mantle.
