The story

Missions

90missions

Roman's letters home promised a mansion. Niko works his passage across the Atlantic on a cargo ship, the Platypus, and finds a failing cab firm, a cousin who gambles its takings, and a debt.

He stays for one man: whoever sold out his unit in the war is somewhere in Liberty City. In the meantime he takes work from anyone who offers: Mikhail Faustin, whose orders start wars, and his lieutenant Dimitri Rascalov, whose patience makes him the dangerous one.

The complete GTA IV story: 90 missions across every branch.

21 mission givers

In the order the campaign first meets them. Missions with no named giver are not counted.
