->''"You people speak of family. Like you know what that word means. But you were born into yours. You never had to go looking for some place to belong.

** If Uncle Lou is the first capo to be killed, Sal will say that they need to reach the governor of Louisiana himself to get gambling legalized, which is a steep and costly ask. Giorgi brings up that the governor was once in hock to them over photos of him having sex with hookers, and Giorigi [[{{Blackmail}} still has those pictures]]. Sal dismisses it, pointing out that A) the gorvernor "already paid that off in full" and B) pictures of him with hookers won't be nearly enough to get him on this.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: When Lincoln catches up to him on the riverboat, Uncle Lou desperately tries to save his own neck by taking Walter Jacobs, the senator he was trying to reach in order to legalize gambling, hostage and threatening to kill him. One has to imagine that if Lincoln actually agreed to those terms, Jacobs wouldn't want to share a plate of food with him or Sal, let alone legalize gambling for them. Then of course, as Lincoln says when Lou makes the threat:
-->"You think I give a shit about some politician?"

brother. The man greases the palms of the city's politicians or has them blackmailed if they won't get in line, runs a massive drug racket, and has a sex racket in which people who pay enough money can mutilate and maim the women he pimps out to their heart's content.

* FelonyMisdemeanor: Unlike the first two games, the cops will ''immediately'' attempt to murder you if they witness a crime, even for non-violent offenses such as slamming into a parked car at high speed. Also, if they see you being shot at by gangsters (even if you're unarmed), they will immediately join in ''on the side of the gangsters''. Justified in that the New Bordeaux police are explicitly in the pocket of Sal Marcano, unlike the first two games in which the cops were dirty enough to accept bribes but weren't directly controlled by one of the Mafia families.

Also justified via DeliberateValuesDissonance -- remember you are playing as a black man in the DeepSouth in TheSixties, so even if they weren't flat-out {{Dirty Cop}}s, they'd still likely be massively racist and employ DisproportionateRetribution as go-to policy.

Burke's name is "Thomas".


* EvilPlan: Sal Marcano is revealed to have one. [[spoiler: He steals the money from the Federal Reserve Heist and screws out Sammy Robinson, Edward Burke, and Vitto Scaletta of their shares in order to take their six million dollars (in 1960s money no less) to serve as the seed money for a casino in New Bordeaux which will have the front man of Remy Duvall. Sal's ties in government will also be blackmailed or bribed into legalizing gambling in New Bordeaux. In short, a fairly straightforward real-estate scam of the ''Film/{{Chinatown}}'' variety.]] Lincoln Clay becomes the SpannerInTheWorks when he not only survives the massacre at Sammy's party but allies all of Sal's enemies and those screwed out of their share of the Federal Reserve Heist money.

* {{Blaxploitation}}: Although the game was released in [[TheNewTens 2016,]] and takes place in [[TheSixties 1968]], this trope still applies. Lincoln Clay, a ScaryBlackman who's good with his fists as well as a gun? Check. Has a personal vendetta against TheMafia? Check. Faces discrimination on a daily basis because of his race? Check. Goes up against (an {{Expy}} of) the [[TheKlan KKK]]? Check.
