Trivia[]
- The connections between Niko and Arthur are that they are the cynical, no-nonsense protagonists of phenomenal Rockstar games who have been in their harsh lifestyles ever since they were young (Niko being a child soldier, and Arthur being in the Van der Linde gang since he was 14). After being involved in a botched event relating to a ferry (one of Ray Bulgarin's ships sinking, and the Blackwater ferry heist), they had no choice but to flee their homes from corrupt bosses (Bulgarin and the Pinkertons), who were already on their tail since they had numerous connections. For a while, Niko and Arthur were affiliated with the blonde-haired, blue-eyed character (Dimitri and Micah) who were the enforcers of gangs (Faustin's Russian Mafia and the Van der Linde Gang), but they eventually turned out to be rats who betrayed everyone they've known (including Faustin and Dutch) due to their 'survival of the fittest' mindset. By the end of the game, Niko and Arthur have two life-changing choices to make that either reflect their loyalty (Niko following Kate's advice by getting revenge on Dimitri, and Arthur helping John escape), or their need for money (Niko making a "deal" with Dimitri, and Arthur going back for the gang's money stash). Dimitri and Micah end up killing the hero's closest friend as payback (Dimitri's hitman indirectly killing Roman, and Micah killing Arthur in the low honor endings), although both of these deaths are optional. At one point, both met a courteous young woman (Kate and Mary) who served as their love interests, but will end up cutting off the heroes from their lives due to how they think their criminal lifestyles will never change (although this will only happen to Niko if the Deal ending is chosen). Both have battled enemy gangs (Dimitri's Russian gang and the O'Driscolls) and corrupt governments in their respective worlds for the sake of their loved ones, and have massively improved the lives of random strangers along their ways (Niko helping Marnie overcome her drug addiction by assisting her in leaving Liberty City, while Arthur has plenty of these, such as teaching a widow how to hunt). While Niko and Arthur's intelligence have been insulted by a few characters throughout the game, they are actually highly cunning and master strategists. They were considered to be the greatest gunmen of their time (Niko being a highly skilled and trustworthy hitman to the point where Lester Crest once suggested he would've been an extremely useful asset for Michael and co.'s heists, and Arthur being the best shot in the gang), and are resourceful enough to be proficient in things they've stated to have never done before (driving a boat for Niko, and hunting with a bow for Arthur).
- These are the most connections I've ever made for a matchup so far, Jesus fucking christ
- The fight would be animated in 3D.
- The track title would be Bloody Redemption.
