* You'd think that the auto-lock is just a system to help less skilled players players, but seeing as how Niko is a veteran of the Balkan wars who's spent most of his post-service life as a hired muscle for various gangs, it actually makes sense since Niko had finished a war and smuggled people over the Adriatic, he would that he'd have to have sharp above-average aiming skills.

i took this out because i believe it to be untrue. during the final cutscene, niko asks pegorino "what the fuck did she ever do to you" and he replies "i wanted you, you immigrant dipshit"


* When [[spoiler: Pegorino was about to shoot at the wedding crowd during the revenge path, he seems to miss his shot and only hit Kate. It was meant to be intentional as it would make Niko fall into DespairEventHorizon while also sending him a message that he should not be messed with.]]

* Niko says he wants to help Dwayne he remind him of himself. But who would Dwayne also remind Niko of? Mikhail Faustin, a formerly sane man who fell victim to a FalseFriend Dimitri and decayed because of drugs (though in his case it's using them, not distributing them), to the point where had to kill the man himself and let the traitorous Dimitri take over. Observing a similar TheFarmerAndTheViper dynamic between Playboy and Dwayne, Niko felt the need to protect Dwayne so that he doesn't succumb to the same ToxicFriendInfluence as Faustin did.

* Trying to entering the Civilization Committee (GTA equivalent of Real life United Nations) grant Niko a wanted level. In Chinatown Wars it doesnt. That's because Niko is a war criminal, so he will be wanted by the CC.

* Why do named characters from TLAD and TBOGT look like generic NPCs in IV? Because to Niko, they are just another person in Liberty City utterly indistinguishable from any other person even if they are an important somebody i.e Gay Tony for example.

* A fairly minor example, but the hot dog vendors shout, among other things, "Who wants one? They're not gray when they're cooked!" While this probably implies they use questionable meat, there is a brand of hot dogs called "Snappy Grillers" that are a grayish-white until grilled, and the company that makes them is based out of Syracuse, New York. It could be the vendors simply use an unusual-looking but entirely safe brand of hot dog, which may look off-putting to those not familiar with them.

* In a subtle case of {{Foreshadowing}}, the cathedral in Algonquin is one of the locations that is emphasized during the quickfire montage at the end of the first teaser trailer for ''Grand Theft Auto IV''. This is the location where either [[spoiler:Roman]] or [[spoiler:Kate are murdered depending on Niko's choices at the climax of the game.]]

* At the end of the game, protagonist Niko's [[spoiler:cousin or girlfriend (depending on your choices) got shot, he's unemployed having left a life of crime behind him, in an unfamiliar place.]] All you can do is drive around aimlessly doing the odd little thing here and there, but after that there's nothing else. That's PRECISELY what Niko's life would be like in the same situation; empty, pointless.

* The song "New York Groove" plays on the radio, even though Liberty City is an obvious Expy for New York. Said song also contains the lyrics "In the back of a Cadillac" even though this game introduced a FictionalCounterpart to the Cadillac brand called Albany.

* Every borough has a different naming scheme for their streets. (Bohan-prisons and breakdancing moves, Algonquin-minerals and state capitals) At first, I thought this was just a small yet amusing side touch. Then I did Stevie's first two car theft missions and easily found the cars due to the directions given. I later realized that the street naming convention had a practical use: to narrow down the locations given in directions.

* Why is Niko unable to date Kate again if the Deal path is taken? Because he just lost his cousin, a family member. He is going to need time to mourn.
