Isn't Elizabeta supposed to be in prison?


Recommended Posts

When you play through the Niko Bellic storyline in GTAIV, Elizabeta gets taken down by the law after you discover Michelle is a undercover fed and Mannie gets shot. However, in The Lost & Damned, quite a while after all these events, you start doing missions for her again? It just doesn't make sense.

I'm pretty sure they take place just as Niko does the final jobs for her. smile.gif

 

Plus, her trial isn't shown until after Diamond's Are A Girl's Best Friend.

Do you think? Maybe your right. But I always thought the coke that that foreign women brings in (The Lost & Damned) was the coke that Niko has to shoot and kill for, and then all the police show up? Then again, she is a big drug dealer so it could of been different coke.

Have a read of this thread: The Possible Trinity.., All Three Stories At The Same Time

 

Basically, these guys tried their best to tie together all three stories. Sadly, the Elizabeta subplot just can't be made to work with everything else timewise so that Niko's last mission for Elizabeta, "Have A Heart", comes last.

 

This is a real shame. It's fairly big hole in the three plots that otherwise fit together fairly well.

I'm not sure there's really an error. Elizabeta's last words to Niko are, "The heat is closing in, Niko. This particular party is ending." That's her sense of dread, not proof of being arrested. Yes, she sets her voicemail to say try again in twenty years or so, but when would she get to record that if she had been arrested? It's just gallows humor from her dread of being arrested before it actually happens. Proof? When she's actually sentenced she gets 300 years, not 20. If she'd been really been charged she'd correctly know what kind of time she was really facing. So the voice mail is a joke. The explanation for why Johnny doesn't hear that voice mail is Elizabeta using a different phone, as criminals do. I don't see why it can't be that's she's not arrested till after Johnny's missions. The news of her sentencing is not released till after "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend", because there has to be time for legal proceedings after she is arrested.

gta.wikia.com agrees with you lol.

This actually confused me for some time. I always believed the events fit in somehow, but I'm still trying to work it out dozingoff.gif

The only way I could make it believable (I am pretty obsessed with making the storylines run perfect with eachother, and I managed it apart from the Elizabeta part) but I could only assume that Johnny worked his ass off like crazy to catch up with Niko's story, so in order to make this a little more believable I took the longest amount of time to do the last Elizabeta mission. Thanks for all your help though guys, much appreciated.

grandtheftwiki.com broke off because they don't like "all the ads". Maybe they're the 10 year olds because their reasons to break off are pretty bitchy

Is it me or are they more or less clones of each other?

 

I looked up like 11 articles and I didn't see any major differences in either.

sh*t like that, plotholes or mistakes happen.

bridges open, closed, jim being black/white, who escapes from where first, buildings are different, radio, people wear different clothes, etc etc.

 

for the bigger picture...just ignore these mistakes and try to imagine the trinity is possible.

 

 

Here's what I think: Mallorie called Niko after Harboring A Grudge and Liz was arrested, but what if she somehow got out of jail and continued doing Johnny's missions? But the cops would find her again and take her down?

I doubt they would have let her out on bail!

 

Escape and recapture seems unlikely.

 

If you blast through Packie's mission as Niko immediately after "Have A Heart", is is possible to get play it simultaneously with TLAD and get "Shifting Weight" completed before Malorie calls about Elizabeta - which makes everything consistent. (It's obviously to critical to get "Three Leaf Clover" complete as this must occur before "Shifting Weight").

 

You can also back up Malorie's calls a bit, because she must first call you about Michelle following "Snow Storm". This gives you more time.

Niko's story and that from TLAD take place at the same time! The TLAD is what is happening at certain points in the game while you are playing through Niko's story.

That makes the most sense.

I thought this was always recognised as being the case?
