Awesome Ideas for Grand Theft Auto V expansion packs
Since Grand Theft Auto V is such an awesome game and the best game ever, could it be made more awesome? What if new locations and new stories were added, like with Grand Theft Auto IV Episodes From Liberty City(Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony)? What about exploring the rest of San Andreas such as San Fierro and Las Venturas plus surrounding areas such as Whetstone County and North Tierra Robada for San Fierro and South Tierra Robada and Bone County for Las Venturas. Plus, what about North Yankton? I know it's not in San Andreas but it's based off North Dakota with only one town, Ludendorff mentioned. However, if North Yankton were to be featured in an expansion pack, it would be the smallest of them as it would include a city based off Fargo, North Dakota plus Ludendorff, North Yankton and surrounding countrysides, which will be covered in snow. If expansion packs for Grand Theft Auto V are to be made, they will need new storylines and locations. I would draw inspiration from GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City as also some new vehicles and weapons were there. Episodes from Liberty City was considered seperate from Grand Theft Auto IV. Grand Theft Auto V however would have DLC expansion packs be mixed with the original game like The Sims series expansion packs. Example would include having any playable character drive, sail, or fly from Los Santos to San Fierro or Las Venturas. Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas with surrounding countrysides will all be accessable by all means of transportation with connecting highways being installed with the expansion pack. Since Grand Theft Auto V must be installed to the console hard drive, why not make DLC expansion packs that add on. Expansion Packs for GTA V will have the same affect as expansion packs for The Sims 3. The difference between Episodes from Liberty City and GTA V expansion packs would be while the former had each seperate game software in GTA IV, TLTD, TBoGT, GTA V expansion packs would integrate with the main game. Example including all playable characters having the ability to travel to any of the available game environment's. New content such as weapons, gameplay features, side missions, and vehicles will unlike GTA IV Episodes From Liberty City will be available to all playable characters. The story mode for the Las Venturas arc however won't be available until the GTA V main storyline is complete since one the LV arch will take place after the events of GTA V, and two the story will be influenced based on Franklin Clinton's decision in the final mission of Grand Theft Auto V. Since Los Santos and Blaine County are the first of locations in the Grand Theft Auto V game, these locations will be reused for some expansion pack missions regardless of use for either the San Fierro or Las Venturas arcs. For note, while the San Fierro arc storyline will be available regardless of the progress in the GTA V storyline, the Las Venturas arc storyline won't be availabe until either Something Sensible, The Time's Come, or The Third Way has been completed. When that's been finished, Franklin can now access the first mission of the Las Venturas arc which will be located outside Smoke on the Water cannabis dispensary where Franklin will meet Jimmy De Santa, who now works as manager of Smoke on the Water after the events of GTA V.
Here are two expansion pack ideas for Grand Theft Auto V:
Chinatown Wars II: The main storyline can be played as soon as GTA V mission Lamar and Franklin completed. CTW2 starts when you switch to a female protagonist called Svetlana Yetarian who is a 20 year old inmate at Hollingbroke Penitentary serving a 15 year sentence for attempted murder of police in San Fierro during a drug deal gone wrong. Yetarian is described as having a parentless childhoodn, being raised in foster homes and orphanages. She is the birth daughter of Simeon Yetarian and a Brazillian woman who died after giving birth to Svetlana's younger sister, Olivia. Simeon Yetarian survived a drive-by shooting by a rival Triad gang from Liberty City. As a result, Simeon could no longer care for his girls, leaving them in foster care. Feeling betrayed by being separated from her sister Olivia, Svetlana turned to crime to make a living and live on her own, becoming a prostitute and drug dealer by the age of 14. Svetlana has also been in juvenile prison thrice, first being at age 10 for assault, 14 for drug dealing and grand theft auto, and 16 for possession of narcotics. But at 17, she was involved in a shootout with police raiding a drug deal in New Naples County with her getting shot, arrested, and sent to adult prison. At 20, she meets the wife of San Fierro Triad Leader Huang Lee, Su Lee, whom she eascapes with in handcuffs and leg irons during a prison riot, with Huang Lee waiting outside in a van with other Triads. They would then escape to a hideout in New Naples County, where the Lee's own protection rackets in wineries. Yetarian still shows resentment towards the SFPD and those who betrayed her, joining the San Fierro Triads. Huang Lee moved to San Fierro following the events of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to take advantage of the Chinatown industries on the West Coast, meeting Su Zi Mu(daughter of Wu Zi Mu) and getting married shortly after. Su Zi Mu was soon arrested for money laundering and sentanced to 3 years in prison where she gained a violent reputation. Su Zi Mu Lee and Hunag Lee along with Svetlana Yetarian will be the three playable protagonists in Chinatown Wars II. Su Zi Mu Lee by the way will be 23. Chinatown Wars II is a sequal to the 2009 DS/PSP/iOS game Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars where Huang Lee starts over and moves from Liberty City to San Fierro. Olivia Yetarian on the other hand had been adopted and separated from Svetlana by LocoSyndicate Leader Hector Rivas, father to Lyle Rivas. The Lee Family is at war with not only the Loco Syndicate but the Yakuza as well. Yuka Kasen becomes the leader of the San Fierro Yakuza since her aunt Asuka Kasen was killed by the Colombian Cartel in 2001. Yuka has been the only one in her family other than her husband Nakizumu and son Shizibudi. Also, the ruthless commissioner of the San Fierro Police Department Lewis Dewson is determined to conceal his evil and corrupt ways by being credited as the main player in caputring the escaped Svetlana Yetarian. Missions to be included should include Svetlana reuniting with her sister Olivia and her father Simeon, drug trafficking, Lee Triad jobs, with strangers and freaks for specific characters. Some missions would take place in Los Santos and/or Blaine County such as Svetlana meeting her birth father Simeon. Random events will be available at the start of GTA V for not just Los Santos and Blaine County but San Fierro and New Naples County as well. Svetlana, Su, and Huang can go on trafficking missions similar to the arms trafficking missions Trevor Phillips goes on and Luis Lopez from TBoGT.
Casino Wars Royale: The main storyline starts as soon as you finish the end of GTA V storyline and the story will be affected based on Franklin's choice to either kill Treavor, Michael, or the Antagonists. Franklin will receive an email from Jimmy De Santa stating that the latter is starting a cannabis dispensary business. Should Franklin not purchase the Smoke on the Water before shortly after the end of GTA V story, Jimmy will request Franklin to purchase it and Jimmy will ask to become manager of Smoke on the Water after the first two missions of CWR. Should Franklin have already purchased Smoke on the Water, Jimmy will conact him, requesting to be hired as manager. Afterwards, Jimmy De Santa will become a playable character and SWITCH ability between Jimmy and other protagonists becomes available. Barry becomes a main character and an associate of Jimmy's pot business. Barry becomes the main counsul of the CWR storyline. Jimmy comes under surveillance from Karen and her IAA cronies for his international drug trading in Marijuana and escapes with Franklin and Barry to Las Venturas, passing by the Dam and Grant Canyon. Franklin and Jimmy hideout in Luis Fernando Lopez and Tony Price's casino resort. This is how Frankiln and Jimmy meet Luis Lopez and Gay Tony. After this Luis Lopez becomes the next playable protagonist. Franklin, Jimmy, and Luis also start doing work for Martin Madrazo who agrees to help them with their business ventures in exchange for favors. It will also be revealed that Luis Lopez has married Gracie Ancelotti and moved to Las Venturas with their daughter Rosalia Lopez. Lopez runs the Las Venturas branch of the Ancelotti family while also running into past 3D Universe characters Toni Cipriani, Joey Leone, and Tommy Vercetti; known as the "Goodfellas". The Vercetti Gang has operations in Las Venturas with Tommy Vercetti living in Las Venturas part time to run the "Goodfellas" casino. Vercetti has since the events of Grand Theft Auto Vice City married Mercedes Cortez and fathered a daughter with her called Maria Vercetti while raising his nephew Roy Bertolli whose father left him shortly after birth and mother dying two years after. Tommy is the maternal uncle of Roy. Both Maria and Roy are 26 and 23 respectively. Rival gangs should include the Forelli Family, Pakistani Mafia, Martin Madrazo betraying Franklin, Jimmy, and Luis just like Dimitri Rascolov betrayed Niko Bellic in Grand Theft Auto IV. A story of betrayal should be the climax of CWR. Karen will play a bigger role as an ambitious and villianous IAA agent who uses the Mafia syndicates to her own corrupt advantage and then betrays them. Karen also uses her beauty to take advantage of Franklin Clinton just like she was Michelle to deceive Niko Bellic. New heists will play the same as heists from GTA V but will involve rival family casinos such as those owned by the Forelli Family for example plus even bigger payouts. With the cash Franklin has received from doing heists in GTA V and GTA:CWR, Franklin Clinton could be the richest protagonist in the entire Grand Theft Auto series. The player towards the end will have a choice to make but for the sake of avoiding spoilers any further details will not be discussed.
New content such as cars, random events, hobbies and pastimes, weapons, properties, and more should come with the expansion packs. Some will be available regardless of progress in story but some will not be avaialbe due to character restrictions and progress in the story. Plus, I would really like to see a vigilante pack which allows you to do vigilante missions just like in the Grand Theft Auto III and IV eras. The drill for safehouses will be the same with characters with some having more than one safehouse. For example, Franklin moves out of his Aunt Denise's house later on in the story but will for Casino Wars Royale have another safehouse, similar to Trevor not just having his trailer in Sandy Shores but also staying at Floyd's Apartment and then switching to Vanilla Unicorn Strip Club. Jimmy for example would live in the basement of Smoke on the Water for the early story. This is just a first layout of my ideas for awesome GTA V expansion packs as in order to come with a final victory, these will need to be planned first before anything else such as designing the game can be done. Since these will be expansion packs, they will have the same engine and graphics as GTA V.
