It’s been mentioned in reviews that there are multiple endings, so I imagine they do take a very binary ‘Bioware-esque’ role in which one you end up with. Oh and I think you unlock force heal with 75% light side proficiency.
Without spoiling too much, if you save people, they will later give you some bonus missions. Killing them may make you feel like a bad-ass, but your missing out on some cool story arcs from them if you kill them.
Plus some of them may become friends and offer…well perks and benefits, and access to equipment and areas that is normally hard to get to.
I’d reccomend saving them on your first play through.
Pretty sure Nico’s influence options are Renegade and More Renegade.

Fuck, really? I might have to start over now…
Do the taxi missions ever get better? I used to love driving taxis in GTA because with each successive fare you would have less time and have to drive crazier to get their in time. I did two last night and not only did it suck having to phone dispatch for a new fare, there was no sense of urgency. The first time I took forever getting to the destination (hardly any driving on the wrong side of the road, though I did run lights) and just got one “hurry up” message right before I arrived.
edit: I’m gonna post the Saint’s Row comment in the other thread.
Is there a strategy guide out for this yet? As big as San Andreas was, there was a strategy guide out for that day one. I want it just to see what all is in the city.
There is a strategy guide, or you can just go to www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com in the game’s internet cafes and see maps of all the health, guns, pigeons, stunt ramps, etc.
So I’m playing the mission with the bike chase and I hit a car sooooo fast that is sent me into a billboard on the freeway. GOD I wish I could take a picture. I’m just stuck here on the billboard and cant get down
Heh, last night in multiplayer I rammed another player in a head on collision, and his car bounced up and got lodged in a perfectly car-sized archway in a nearby building. He got out and for a second we just stared at this Mercedes lodged in mid-air like some kind of post-modern sculpture.
Yes, the ability to take pictures and upload them to the web would be awesome. There are so many things that happen in GTA that can’t be reproduced that photo sharing would really help. It’s not like a Bioware game where ever cool thing that happens is pre-scripted and all you need to do is say “remember when…” and the other people know exactly what you’re talking about because it happened to them too.
Anyone gotten 6 stars yet? I’ve only gotten 4 so far. Those SWAT guys don’t mess around. Assault rifles kill QUICK. Are there 5 or 6 stars? Whatever the maximum is.
Try swimming over to the next island to the West. Or getting past the barricades on the bridge.

OK that kicks ass. I was having all kinds of regrets for not killing him, feeling that there would be some kind of ‘Saving Private Ryan’ twist to it later on where I would regret having been humane.
Is Kate a fuckable NPC ? I have a 100% friendship score with her but I always get rejected.
I can’t recommend strongly enough how important getting Little Jacob to 75% liked is. He will drive a car to a location in the area where you called, check map for the Lj icon, and sell you weapons and armor at a discount price. Some examples: Armor $300 ( 500 at store ) Good sniper rifle $5000 ( unavailable at store last I checked ) Combat shot gun ammo $70. I unlocked hsi special after doing 5 of his extra jobs and doing 2 recreational trips, after completeing his main missions. Always having him able to deliver fresh armor without needing to trek to a gun shop and always being able to save the cash due to those discounts really helped me out early on.
When they said a LIVING breathing city, they meant it!

Anyone have any luck with Lawyerchick? I read her profile at Love-Meet, and it makes her sound like an environmentalist. I figured she’d enjoy a ride around the city on a helicopter so I drove her there, but there was no chopper and no yellow location mark. Had to settle for dinner at an Italian restaurant that she ended up hating. Now I don’t even have her number. Just wondering if I’ll get another chance with her?
There was another instance where I was taking Roman back to our safehouse and saw a yellow objective marker to a fancy building that wasn’t marked on the map; turns out it was a high-class bar. I’m wondering if this means that when you go on dates/man-dates, you can perhaps visit the museum/park or some of the other places that don’t get a marker on the map?
I took her to see Ricky Gervais, she liked it fine. I think I accidentally declined her number at the end of the date though, so I guess I’m in the same boat. Have you tried requesting another date through lovemeet?
This game just clicked bigtime for me. Did the mission where you drop Playboy off at the end (this unlocks Manhattan).
Damn. You drop him off and then think . . . wow . . . I’m now in Manhattan. Drove around at night, saw the sights, saw Times Square, Central Park, The Met, and then went up onto the Empire State Building. Had Spiderman 2 flashbacks but didn’t jump off.
