message: I think that the reason Kate never invites Niko into her house after a successful date is more likely because she is unwilling to engage in pre-marital sex and not necessarily because she only considers him a friend.

thread_title: Niko and Kate's relationship

message: I am seeing similarities between Niko's personality and the personality of Macbeth - the two are by far the most mature and the sanest of all the people that they interact with, have both been scarred by events in war and both feel that their spirits have been damaged beyond repair by things that they've done (Niko by his atrocities and Macbeth by the murder of the King of Scotland). While I accept that Niko is the more moral of the two, I am sure that it is worth noting. Should it be noted? Grieferhate (talk) 21:54, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

message: "Dardan Pretela is an Albanian loan-shark and also operates in a fence by selling stolen objects which is by said Roman when he says 'if I wanted to buy a stolen T.V, I would go to Dardan.'"
In communities of immigrants from Balkan here in Scandinavia (at least Norway and Sweden), albanians are often stereotyped as petty thieves. I don't know if this is a generally accepted prejudice or if it's something that's been born here, but when I heard Roman's statement in-game I immediately saw it as a reference to this, especially seeing as Roman is a serb (most likely, keep that flame war in the section were it belongs) and serbs stereotypically dislike albanians.

message: I haven't had much to do with this article, since I was avoiding it while playing the game.  I was just wondering what the general consensus is regarding describing character deaths.  I've noticed a couple that I don't agree with, but don't want to change anything yet in case I'm missing something.  One is the "revenge" death of Dimitri which is described here as: "Niko executes Dimitri by shooting him in both his legs then the head".  Now, when I played that mission, I killed him in the execution style and he was only shot in the head.  The other thing is that the player doesn't have to kill him this way; for example, a Youtube video shows him being beaten with a baseball bat.  Since these things are often down to player choice, would it be better just to say that the character is killed, rather that actually describing how?

I'd actually like to point out, while I'm on, that I've actually just watched Dimitri's proper execution on Youtube and he is shot in the legs.
