[SPOILERS] GTA V Plot theory

[carisstr]

Looking back at dialogue from a few of the first missions with Michael and the FIB guy, I am curious as to what other people think happened (in reference to that first mission in Yankton)

 

Do you think it was all a set up? Did Michael already have a deal with the FIB as an 'out' and plan the whole thing?

AKA Brad to be buried as 'Michael' to let Michael start a new life?

 

 

OR was is just luck for Michael? Did the deal fall in his lap?

Well, you find out as the story progresses, that's all I will say. Now hopefully no one spoils it all for you in a reply.

[carisstr]

I have finished the main story already, I dont really think there was a definite answer unless I missed something??

 

EDIT: Just interested in what conclusion most people came to. I think Michael planned it all

The storyline is pretty simple for a half thought out idea that would have been seen in a B Movie.

[rixsta]

I'm saying that it was planned from the start,

 

As when the car got hit, trevor wanted to abort the plan - but michael said no, we stick to the intial plan.

 

And if you didn't notice, it was his FIB contact that actually shot the both of them.

Do you not remember the entire mission when going back to Canada to stop Trevor when Michael is telling Amanda about the deal in a flashback as you drive to the cemetery?

Yeah on a second playthrough I noticed way more things, and how michael kind of waits at Brads body - normal people would run for cover haha

I remeber going back to the cemetry but no flashback about a deal? Maybe it depends who you enter that mission with?

 

Well then... haha obviously this a pointless thread if it is actually confirmed in game D:

[Canes21]

I mean you only can play that mission out as Michael and the entire time you're driving to the cemetery, Michael is constantly remembering the whole coming out to Amanda about the deal and it being the only way out alive. I don't know how you would have missed it, haha, it's pretty much the entire trip there, heck I sat still before entering the marker at the church to let the narrative finish,

I went to the Yankton cemetery as Trevor flying a plane. When Trevor arrived, he started to dig up the coffin and then Michael showed up.

[spamtackey]

It is established that Michael set up a deal with the FIB to kill

Trevor because he was too unruly and was likely to get Michael or anyone else he worked with killed. However, Brad walked in front of Trevor when Dave made the shot and Brad died instead.

It's not really mentioned what was supposed to happen to Brad in the deal, but yes there was a deal.

 

Heck there is a conversation with Dave about the fact. They want Trevor to think that

Mike got lucky and was handed a deal after the fact.

and if Michael wasn't too busy being stupid and caught up in his own problems he might have been able to pull that off.

Woops, my mistake! I thought it was a one-sided mission. May just need to play the game again and see all the details I missed.

I kinda wish there was a list or something that told me who the best person was to show up at each mission. I missed out on the whole "You givin' me a lecture about not being a good enough gang-banger" line from the trailer because I showed up as Trevor to the mission. Honestly, I think it's interesting but a stupid way to tell a story. "hey you can just NOT see part of a cutscene! Isn't that awesome?"

That'd be great. I'm sure there are plenty of things I missed out on. All of us did. You'd have to play through it many times to see everything because some missions could have all 3 players in their own little scenes.

Hehe no worries, I had no idea that you could go as Michael to Yankton until I saw it in here. Going as Trevor was a fun little ride. Lot's of cursing and swearing if my memory serves me right.

I will definitely play the story mode again to see what I missed regarding which character you play...and doing the other option on the heists.

[Khaos89]

Michael is a traitor and a coward and should be killed.

You didnt pay attention, Trevor was the one who ment to die, and Michael cut that deal, he wanted out and he knew they were on to him, that bullet that killed Brad was meant for trevor cause he was crazy back then as well.
