Anyway, how many people suspected that Michelle was a cop before it revealed? I never really paid attention, until I remembered that someone said that she was a cop.

I knew something wasn't right with her. She was new to the town yet she knew about the carnival being closed.

she "worked with mallorie" yet mallorie works at Roman's depot....

the furnature thing, and in that same cutscene she hides something... then there's the texts you get. "Im on a different assignment" etc. and her probing question. Its obvious but subtle too.

the question is:

How did ULPC know who niko was that early in the game.... Makes me think that perhaps they have a dossier on him - and perhas investigating his operations in the adriatic before hand?

I just remember wanting to get past the mandatory date and other interactions with her in the early stages of the game so I could get on with things. When her ulterior motive was revealed I was somewhat surprised but also praying I wouldn’t have to do much with/for her!

At the point where Niko bursts out to suggest going to the fun fair, he motions forward towards Michelle's direction quite suddenly. At that moment you can see Michelle leap backwards, almost in fright. It's perhaps not so noticeable the first time round, but on subsequent play-throughs it really sticks out like a sore thumb.

 

I did managed to notice it on my initial game, so had a really strong inkling of what would happen. The later clues on Michelle's motives, before the reveal, really just solidified that for me.

I was curious about her questions to Niko, particularly about Roman. I did wonder if she was a journalist or something. But her shouting during her "hot coffee time" with Niko was really weird. When she was unmasked, I realised her bedroom must have been bugged, so that's why she asked him to "speak up a little". biggrin.gif

I've just noticed a minor plot-hole. Well I dunno if you can call it a hole as such but...

 

Michelle is sent to investigate Niko way too early for it to make sense if you ask me. I mean, so early in the game, what has Niko done so badly that the GOVERNMENT or whomever UL Paper is are wanting to investigate him? At that point *SPOILERS* all he has done is drive his cousin to an illegal gambling game and fought a few Albanian thugs who were at his cousins cab office threatning him! Sure there is the whole 'illegal immigrant' thing but why would they spy on him? They'd just turn him in at that point wouldn't they?

 

I know I may be answering my own question here but I think the only way this makes sense is if UL Paper knew about Niko's past working for Bulgarin in the people smuggling trade.

 

What do the rest of you fine people think?

 

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't read the whole topic before posting...and noticed Mokrie Dela posted pretty much the exact same thing as I just did! My bad.

I don't think Michelle was sent to investigate Niko. She was probably investigating the Russian mob and looking for intel from associates of Vlad, the bottom rung. Mallorie was having an affair with Vlad, which may have been learned through surveillance of Vlad, and then Michelle was sent in to become friends with Mallorie, which put her one degree from Vlad. She learns of Roman and his debts to Vlad which make him another connection. When Niko shows up, his connection to Roman connects him to Vlad, so Michelle targets him too. Niko then becomes potentially more valuable after he knocks off Vlad and makes contact with higher ups in the mob. All along Michelle was hoping her fake friends and lovers would confide in her about their criminal connections.

Wow, nice theory Magic_Al. Never looked at it like that...it goes more in-depth that what simply meets the eye. So Niko just gets caught up in the surveillance of the Russian Mob? Nice...

I'd previously thought that Michelle must have been there from before Niko arrived. I like that theory though. Explains allot except:

 

Why is her apartment still packaged up like she's just moved in?

Maybe her OCD cover-up really is true! Haha!

 

You're right though Mokrie Dela, that really is the only hole in Magic_Al's theory. However it could be explained rather easily I suppose. Maybe she has been under cover doing surveillance on Vlad and the Russians for some time but her cover was recently almost blown...meaning she really has just moved into that particular place.

I thought something was up when she had all the new stuff and how you never saw her at the cab depot, also sometimes when you are driving around, even perfectly, the cops will honk at you... I figured something was going to happen just not sure until that mission. Also, for the people that see her going undercover to get info about you as a plot hole, it might have been because Niko was in human trafficking and the government could have been keeping an eye on him seeing if he transported people to America.

The first time I was playing, I didn't connect her awkward questions and the nagging about the mafia etc. I just thought she was a very curious, whimsy and a little insecure person. So yes, I was quite surprised when it turned out that she was working undercover.

 

Also, I'm suspecting that she is "UndercoverLover" on love-meet.com . The person in the blurred photo may be Michelle/Karen. Also, the profile says that she (UndercoverLover) is under a FIB witness protection program. Maybe that was indeed the case, and then she was later recruited by UL Paper. Some of the characteristics that ULP gives of Michelle/Karen wagely implies that she was not in the most happy life situation when she was recruited:

 

 

Niko: So why use me?

ULP: We always use people like you. Karen - Michelle... she was the same. Someone with something to lose, but not much to live for.

 

Niko: What did you give Michelle? For me.

ULP: Michelle? Karen. We gave her her life back

Note the cyan colored hair clip on the right side of UndercoverLover's head. It's not similar in position and shape to Michelle's/Karen's, but "Beta Michelle" does indeed have the same type of hair clip. But I guess it is in the open whether or not Beta Michelle got that hair clip on her right side too.
