GTA Online chronology (English Dave)

[Max96]

I just thought what if you don't own a nightclub but you decided to visit Miguel at The Music Locker? English Dave appears in the cutscene but mentions that we know each other (GTA Online protagonist and English Dave I mean). Will the dialogue change in this case? Because if you don't own a nightclub you see English Dave for the first time. If anyone tried that, share your comments!

P.S. I think Rockstar should've done the GTA Online story in chronological order for new players to let them raise step by step, as for me, it doesn't make sense if you are able to start any heist (for example the Doomsday) from zero (if you have money for facility of course) and Lester talks to ya like you know each other. What do you think about that?

Good question, I was wondering that too.

 

In my own mind, the chronology should go contact missions, original heists, casino, Cayo Perico, Doomsday. Note in Series A Trevor says “haven’t we met before?”, not sure if this changes if you can start the heists before doing any of his contact missions.

 

Doomsday last perhaps doesn’t fit with Lester getting together with Cheung’s daughter at the end of Casino, but Doomsday feels like a better ending to the story with a tone of Redemption for our Online Characters.

Nice thought! Casino and Cayo Perico heists fit better before Doomsday, because we do simple setups like getaway cars, simple weapons, equipment and Doomsday's are like a new level: futuristic vehicles, orbital cannons, etc.

But still, chronology runs along with DLCs release order for sure.

Indeed, there is a small change in the line of dialogue, when Madrazo introduces us to English Dave with:
"This is the one I was telling you about."

 

If we don't have a nightclub English Dave will respond with:
"Yeah, yeah, nice one. You alright?"

 

If we have a club he'll say:
"Ah, yeah, we know each other. You alright?"

Wow, Rockstar really made this! The details level is amazing, thanks for letting know about the dialogue!
