He continually takes out the $5000 earrings I bought him. Also, Michael has tons of nice clothing I bought him, but he always dresses like such a slob whenever I switch to him.

It's really weird how Franklin keeps dressing himself like he just fell out of bed, Michael insists on getting rid of his Max Payne beard, yet Trevor hasn't changed out of his Hunter S. Thompson clothes in over a week. T is the only one who stays dressed how I set him.

So yeah, that scene from the trailer where Trevor is stamping on a severed arm in a toilet bowl, when does that happen in-game anyway? I'm finished and haven't seen it.

For the stock market is it better to sell right away after assassinations/creatively destroying rival company vehicles, or should you sit on it a while? So far I've only really messed with stocks a handful of times, mostly selling them right away.

I know this has been brought up constantly but I haven't seen a definitive answer.

Once I mod a car it can be found in the impound lot right? Even if it is lost in the garage?

Speaking of cars...



Lasted me through several Strangers and Freaks side missions, about three amazing police chases (the last of which I got away by narrowly dodging a train and flying onto the highway, losing two wheels in the process) and got to just outside the Los Santos Custom, where I found some random guy on the street who dared to insult Canadians to Trevor's face, before finally dying on me and being unusable any more.

RIP random awesome car I found on the street. You will be remembered fondly. :patriot:

I think there might be missions that get skipped over. While finishing some missions, I see that Martin appears missing an ear and I get my car back from Jimmy, all tricked out. I don't remember either thing happening

If everything is working right whenever it's "lost" it should show up in impound but the garages are hosed right now and being worked on for a patch. So the answer is "probably". I've had a modded car just disappear from both the garage and impound.

First one: Trevor cut his ear off off-screen when he stole his wife.

Second one: Jimmy takes Micheal's personal car after the family leaves, then eventually gives it back and sends you an email that he tricked it out but it's still a lame old man car

Thankfully he never did this to me. He's bald with the grizzliest beard you can give him. Franklin has no facial hair. Trevor must always rock the handle bars.

So I have discovered the magic of random hick downs and really am enjoying the game even if the radio is a bit hard for me to work with- I have trouble hearing it but settings should change that.

I'm just glad that Fame or Shame gave me my Lazlo fix for this game. gently caress, I should really listen to his actual podcast.

Still wish the internet was a bit bigger.

This is exactly what you should do. Again, sitting on a billion dollars on each character from doing this. This should probably go in the OP.

I want to say that painted landsculpture in the desert is based off of something in real life. I know large parts of Blaine County resemble Joshua Tree National Park (all it's missing is the cholla cactus) and the mountains resemble Big Bear areas.

It's based on Salvation Mountain.

I can't find where, but R* definitely said there's going to be a mission editor. They also said it's not going to be available at the launch of GTAO, but the race and deathmatch editors will. I suspect that they're using some sort of beta version to create the 500 or so missions they claim GTAO is going to have.

It might have come from the comments page of one of their news posts which is where theyve been hiding GTA:Online info for a while now buried in a sea of white noise

Yea it needs to go in the OP with the names of the missions and what exactly you should invest in. I did the first three assassination missions before catching on that they were messing with the stock market, and I haven't done any since because I can wait.

It probably makes me some kind of dumb hipster but I've done the same thing. I just can't resist those big manly beards. Also everyone must wear aviators, everyone. I also really dig that despite the varying fashions of the player characters, it's possible for me to dress pretty much all of them out of my own personal wardrobe if I choose.

I'm in the process of planning the second heist and various commercial properties are for sale. I noticed that there's various residential properties with realtor signs in front as well, but I can't seem to find an option to purchase them. Does that get unlocked later in the game?

Yeah, they always have sunglasses on.

I got some cool jackets for Michael and Franklin, but for Trevor I bought the suit at the discount store that kinda looks like a plaid version of the one in Napoleon Dynamite. I wanted to get cheap suits for all three of them but it looks like Trevor is the only one with that option.

Not really, because when you see that Trevor tells Martin that if he mistreats his wife, he'll come back for the other ear.

Is there any ambient music when you're just swimming around underwater in free roam? I've been swimming around for hours and haven't heard anything. It feels like a missed opportunity considering that they likely could have produced a great underwater ambient track right up there with Jolly Roger Bay.

Recent Rockstar games have had me immediately wanting to replay the game after I finish, it's kind of awesome. It reminds me of that rare movie that I want to watch it again right after I'm done. I was thinking about trying to replay three times focusing on a different character, doing as many missions as possible from their perspective and only doing the bare minimum with the other characters, but I don't have the time for that. Definitely going to go another run after I wait a while so I don't get burnt out.
