** Steve Haines orders Michael, Trevor and Franklin to raid an IAA lab and steal a Neurotoxin, tbe job will require 3 additional crew members to complete.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For Steve to tell Michael, Trevor and Franklin to get 3 more crew members or get Dave and Sanchez to do it.\\
'''Instead:''' Steve doesn't bother telling the crew they need the extra manpower until the day of the mission and then acts shocked that they didn't get it.\\

'''As A Result:''' Trevor, watching that very cop recount Michael using the catchphrase and recognizing [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay Michael's use of the same phrase during the fateful robbery in North Yankton nine years ago]], realizes Michael is still alive. Trevor then barges his way back into Michael's life, bringing with him a great deal of trouble. The FIB, or at least Dave Nortons boss Steve Haines, ''also'' finds out about Michael's involvement in the robbery almost immediately and use this as leverage to rope Michael into doing dirty work for them.

After Catalina takes the money, she tells Claude that she isn’t to be trusted and instructs her goons to kill him (who is at point blank range and unarmed.)\\

'''Instead:''' Tenpenny leaves [[DumbMuscle Pulaski]] to do the job, who [[BondVillainStupidity takes more joy in forcing CJ to dig his own grave]] [[FailedASpotCheck than ensuring Henandez would be out cold long enough for CJ to dig the grave]], letting [[BigDamnHeroes Hernandez take him by surprise]], and allowing CJ to go after him as well.

'''The Result:''' Assuming Niko doesn't do the smart thing and waste him, Dmitri steals the heroin being traded for himself, kills Niko's brother indirectly, then murders Pegorino himself and nearly gets Niko killed. And all that is for the "Deal" route. As for the other one...

'''The Result:''' Assuming Niko doesn't do the smart thing and waste him, Dmitri steals the heroin being traded for himself and nearly gets Niko killed.

'''You'd Expect:''' To use the car crusher (which you park right next to for the "ceremony") to destroy any evidence of the man being murdered, and then commandeer another vehicle (like the Trashmaster which tends to spawn next to said car crusher) to drive Mickey home without arousing any suspicion of criminal activity.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' Since the area where you're driving to is Harwood, the home of Liberty City's car crusher (which you park right next to for the "ceremony"), you could use the car crusher to reduce the car to a heap of scrap metal in order to destroy any evidence of the man being murdered, and then commandeer another vehicle (like the Trashmaster which tends to spawn next to said car crusher) to drive Mickey home without arousing any suspicion of criminal activity.\\

'''Instead:''' You have to drive Mickey home in the car with the dead body still inside it, even though this could draw unwanted attention from the police (who will chase after you if they catch you driving around in the car), and then later dump the car in the river where anyone with access to a boat could potentially find it and the man's dead body.
