I went and killed the cop first time but on a 2nd playthrough thought about it more and decided that Derrick is a degenerate junkie that doesn't have long to live anyway, and a connection in LCPD that can get you out of trouble sometimes is a nice bonus.
But Francis has a lot of dirt on Niko and even blackmails him to murder the guy in the apartment. Who's to say that Francis wouldn't blackmail Niko again to commit more murders after the game has ended?
And this dirt more than likely would've surfaced when they decide to search through all the personal files of a high ranking police officer and possibly fing some evidence that he's been working with a dangerous criminal on the loose. But then again, Niko is techically under the CIA protection by that time and all that is purely speculation anyway, since all this blackmail on Niko never addressed again.
>Kate dies >Gerry gets locked up >Packie leaves LC >Leaving Derrick or Francis to look after their old mother >One is a junkie >The other is a cold bastard
She's probably dead anyways
Francis is a necessary evil in the GTA4 universe. Niko is not an ambitious criminal, he just wants to live a happy life with his cousin and is a shadow government asset with protection from them so he will not be negatively affected by Francis.
Gerald ratted on his IRA buddy and then killed him because he was paranoid that he would want revenge. He was much, much less trustworthy than Francis.
>Can't kill them both
Frick the Irish
Francis, obviously. Gerrick is harmless. Francis has dirt on Niko which can cause problem down the line.
francis everytime for my lad packie.
This mission sucks. It’s so one sided and who really cares, why can’t you tell them to frick off?
Francis because he threatened Niko. Simple.
Only moron sociopaths kill Derrick, Dwayne and take Rascalovs deal.
niko had killed for less reason in his time in liberty. I think he'd kill derrick considering he was already acting as francis's lapdog
Just because you sucked wiener once, doesn't mean you have to suck wiener the rest of your life, buddy. ;^]
I killed derrick so the family has a "clean" son after kate dies, think of their mother
>Francis
>Clean
>Yeets Kate regardless
>think of MUH OLD WOMAN
Nikos a Merc. Why would he care? That family's fricked anyway.
He obviously likes them, Packie is his m8, Kate is his girl, and he worked with the rest
>he likes them
Yes. Except for a corrupt Police-chief that uses him to circumvent the law and blackmails Niko to do his bidding.
He is as dangerous as he can be useful.
>think of their mother
no, the entire dynamic of niko and kate was too forced
He is a liability, but considering you're a family friend i'd wager he would think twice about betraying you
Plus
>Kate dies
>on your brothers wedding
really would give him the incentive to burn the bridge down
True, i killed him more times than not
A junky might fix himself; a corrupt cop won't.
Kill Dwayne all the time.
I've killed the old heroin junkie because he's gonna die in a couple weeks anyways

Niko can blackmail Francis too

After Francis is killed, i mean. Also find*

Derrick is literally a snitch on the LCPD computer ingame
frick derrick

>Gerald
*Derrick
Francis is very useful for Niko, I mean he can remove your wanted level
While Derrick can't do shit
