* MagnificentBastard: [[TheSpook The United Liberty Paper Contact]], real name Bernard, is a high ranking member of the United Liberty Paper, a front for the International Affairs Agency (IAA). When Karen meets with [[PlayerCharacter Niko Bellic]] one last time, she introduces him to the Contact, who then proceeds to blackmail Niko into doing his dirty work in the name of stopping terrorism in Liberty City. The Contact has Niko assassinate multiple targets, such as a man who is aware of the United Liberty Paper's true purpose and has been leaking information about it and the owner of an inport-export business funding a terrorist organization. Despite the Contact's cold attitude, he follows through with his promise in bringing Darko Brevic to Niko and part ways with Niko on good terms. In his reappearance in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', the Contact survives the shootout with the IAA, FIB, and Merryweather. Returning once more in ''Online'', he assists the Online protagonists stopping to a doomsday plot of Avon Hertz as well as the Duggan Crime Family from using remnants of Cliffford's code to manipulate gas prices.

** [[TheConsigliere Phil Bell]] is a prominent member of the [[IncompetenceInc Pegorino Family]] and one of its most skilled members, rising up through the ranks despite not sharing the Italian heritage of his peers and being one of the few people [[TheReliableOne keeping the organization afloat]]. Bell initially has Niko carry out missions on behalf of the Pegorinos, even linking him up with a fixer to carry out assassinations, and personally assists him in stealing a shipment from [[BigBad Dimitri Rascalov]]. In the Deal Ending, Bell assists Niko in surviving a drug deal botched by Dimitri, escaping with him and netting a huge profit for his crime family. In both endings, Bell chooses to leave the criminal life behind, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm cutting his losses]] and [[PetTheDog wishing Niko well]]. Shrewd, competent, and [[AffablyEvil genial]], Bell is one of the few characters in the organization to not only avoid being arrested or killed, but also parts on good terms with the protagonist in a setting filled with backstabbing and betrayal.

** Bernie Crane (formally Florian Cravic) is somewhat this due to his personality and for some added humour and while many others felt sympathy for him [[spoiler:since the mission where Niko finds the homophobic hater who threatened Bernie and kills the hater]].

Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: In the opening cutscene of "Museum Piece", Niko and Ray get into an argument over the latter's promise to find Florian. One accusation Niko levels towards Ray to get his word is that "he pays shit". Some fan don't agree with this line since Ray is one of the higher paying mission givers, something even he lampshades in his first mission by saying he pays double.

** The driving mechanics. Either they're a shining case of MisaimedRealism with how they handle more like floaty boats or were intentionally programmed to have a strict but rewarding learning curve and have very satisfying crash physics.

* PolishedPort: The game when run on the UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS via backwards compatibility, has the game perform at a full 60FPS at all times without exception, on top of drastically reduced loading times. This is when the game on other platforms was horribly optimized to where it would barely go above 30 FPS or have severe framerate issues.
