Mafia 3 - Definitive Edition

 DESCRIPTION 

The storyline of Mafia III: Definitive Edition revolves around Lincoln Clay, a mixed-race orphan and Vietnam War veteran in 1968 New Bordeaux (a fictionalized version of New Orleans).

Here's a breakdown of the main plot:

• Betrayal and Loss: Lincoln returns home to his surrogate Black Mob family, led by Sammy Robinson. Sammy is in debt to the Italian Mafia boss, Sal Marcano. Lincoln reluctantly agrees to help with a heist at the Federal Reserve to settle the debt. However, after the successful heist, Marcano betrays and brutally murders Sammy, Lincoln's adoptive brother Ellis, and their associates, leaving Lincoln for dead.

• Vengeance: Surviving the attack, Lincoln is rescued by Father James Ballard, a local priest who acted as a father figure. Consumed by grief and a thirst for revenge, Lincoln embarks on a mission to dismantle Sal Marcano's criminal empire piece by piece.

• Building a New Family: To achieve his goal, Lincoln enlists the help of three other individuals who have their own reasons to oppose Marcano:

  • Cassandra: The leader of the Haitian gang, seeking to reclaim her territory taken by the Dixie Mafia under Marcano's control.

  • Vito Scaletta: The protagonist of Mafia II, now down on his luck and seeking to rebuild his standing after being exiled to New Bordeaux.

  • Thomas Burke: An Irish mob boss whose son was murdered by Marcano's men.

• Taking Over the City: Lincoln systematically targets Marcano's rackets and territories, weakening his grip on New Bordeaux. He assigns these territories to his underbosses (Cassandra, Vito, and Burke), forming a new criminal organization. The player must balance the distribution of territories to keep the underbosses loyal, as neglecting them can lead to consequences.

• Confronting Marcano: As Lincoln dismantles Marcano's operations and eliminates his key lieutenants, he eventually confronts Sal Marcano himself. The game offers a choice in the final confrontation.

• Multiple Endings: Mafia III features multiple endings that depend on the player's choices throughout the game, particularly how they manage their relationships with the three underbosses. These endings determine Lincoln's fate and the future of New Bordeaux's criminal underworld.

• FBI Investigation: Regardless of the ending, Lincoln's actions attract the attention of the FBI, leading to an investigation led by Jonathan Maguire. Years later, in 1971, Lincoln's story is revisited through documentary-style interviews with those who knew him, including Father James and his former CIA handler, John Donovan.

In essence, Mafia III is a gritty and violent revenge story set against the backdrop of the racially charged Deep South in 1968. It explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, family (both by blood and choice), and the consequences of violence.
