Devin Weston aftermath when picking option a?

[shadyslady]

Are there any consequences (initiated by Weston) when choosing option a, killing T.?

 

[billiejoearmstrong8]

Not really, only thing is when Steve Haines calls Franklin afterwards Steve mentions that he'll sort things out with Devin regarding the fact that he didn't kill Michael like he asked, and also mentions that Merryweather has lost its license to operate in the state. So he's explained away with that.

No consequences initiated by Weston, but losing a playable character seems like kinda a big consequence to me...

Option c is (of course) the only viable choice for me anyway..

I was just wonderin..

 

Both a and b feel forced and wrong

[billiejoearmstrong8]

It's fun to make a save before making the choice so you can try the other options. Both are very harsh afterwards, pretty much everyone abandons you/wants nothing to do with you and Lamar can only hang out at night because Stretch is still around. Worth doing to see the emails/phone calls etc you get and for the miserableness of it haha

Smugglers Run takes place in 2017 and Ron makes direct reference to Trevor, implying he's alive.

I thought it takes place when Trevor goes to LS to find Michael.

That's what I hope for. Though there's no evidence that proves that Online isn't canon.

In Heists Trevor goes to your apartment in LS. In SP Trevor says that he's never been to LS. Online takes place before SP.

Actually I don't remember Trevor saying he's never been to LS. I remember Wade saying so but Trevor? No. Could you tell me where he says that?

That's my bad I was remembering Greenrock's old thread

 

https://gtaforums.com/topic/777029-plot-hole-trevor/

 

But there are plot holes in Online. In SP in the mission "Mr Phillips" Trevor says to follow the Bikers to go to the camp

 

6:12

 

He follows them to the camp like he doesn't know where it is.

 

 

But in Online in Series A which we are to believe takes place before the events of V he knows where the camp is

Though in the same mission Trevor seems to say "he has an idea where they are heading" which leaves me to believe he just wanted to make sure they are heading to the right Lost hideout. The biggest plothole is the ULP contact who can be killed in "Wrap Up" but appears in Doomsday heist in 2017.

Post-Heist updates take place in the year they were released (although there could be a few exceptions, but I know for a fact everything past Gun Runners takes place during/after 2017 onwards)

The other guy is right, there's nothing to suggest Online isn't canon. Just because you don't like the direction it is going in doesn't mean it's fan fiction despite all things considered. Not saying I like it either but it is what it is.

 

Also, all the other "evidence" (like how Trevor didn't go to LS before GTA Online) can just be easily explained by the fact that plot holes in Rockstar games are quite frequent. They're no stranger to bad writing.

How?

Because in Gun Runners Agent 14 says its 2017 and it wouldnt make sense for R* to release updates that aren't in chronological order?

Option A is very disappointing that main antagonists are still alive after giving you so much trouble.

It would have been cool if there was a follow up after Trevor's death, we are given another mission where Franklin and Michael make a plan to kill Devin Weston maybe also use Lamar as sidekick to kill Stretch.(only leaving Wei Chang alive)

A bit of a bump but what the heck?

TBH, none of the three endings of GTA V were really satisfactory to me at all. I know I've said it time and time again, but it's kinda how I feel. Anyways, I like to think ending A is more on behalf of Dave Norton than Steve Haines, considering he was the one who spun him that Michael was stable but Trevor was not. In a separate thread, I made different aftermath of this option where Dave gets promoted, Steve gets arrested for his corruption, and Devin, Wei Cheng, and Stretch are all locked up. Additionally, Franklin can still hang out with Michael and Lamar. That's honestly what I think should've happened next but if you are pleased with what you got in any of the three endings, you do you. I'm NOT the authority on what IS and ISN'T satisfactory. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Stick with it. I don't wanna change your opinion.

To me c makes the most sense.

And hey, alternate timelines. Rick n Morty, Star Trek Discovery, etc.

In my timeline option c is cannon.

UL paper survives btw, even though I always kill him in the wrap up

I actually agree with you. I personally think that GTA IV and V are the only two GTA’s that have alternate timelines. In regards to V, I think that A is canon in one timeline whereas C is canon in the other. Additionally, in regards to IV, I think killing Playboy X is canon to both timelines. However, in the first one, killing Derrick, killing Darko, and the Revenge ending is canon, while in the second one, killing Francis, sparing Darko, and the Deal ending is canon. Just my personal opinion though as with IV there are literally multiple ways it can go.
