Vehicle modification and a chance to legally purchase them
When it comes to modification, why end with guns? Why not give us a chance to mess around with our cars? Of course, we’re not suggesting visual tuning and adding spoilers to our Lassiter. However, a minor chance to enhance our performance and maybe change the color of our ride wouldn’t hurt. In that case, it could easily be linked with decreasing our notoriety level. This element has been done many times in other titles, and, as it fits perfectly with the illegal nature of mafia operations, it would fit in perfectly. Surely, a car that has just been stolen needs a new paintjob so nobody realizes that it is ‘borrowed’, am I right?
When it comes to car theft, another element worthy of implementing in Mafia III should be mentioned. A mafioso by default has sticky fingers, and their life has its’ own set of rules. In the end however, there is a reason why we pursue wealth. An option to legally buy vehicles would be nice for a change, especially if being a good citizen was encouraged by the fact that the available cars weren’t the ones we could find on the streets. It might seem simple, but it’s a great opportunity to get behind the wheel of some fantastic models from that time, that wouldn’t be available otherwise. To fit all those mechanic beauties, we would also get a bigger garage, in comparison to the previous games. A dozen of cars, with a potentially enormous choice of vehicles is certainly not enough. Last but not least, in terms of driving, we finally need to get a chance to shoot by ourselves.
