Frequently asked questions

Q: Niko speaks Serbian, Why isn't his nationality stated in the article?

Niko is a fictional character. The author of the character is Dan Houser/Rockstar. Niko's nationality has never been divulged by Houser/Rockstar. Just speaking a certain language doesn't imply nationality of that country.

Q: Why does it say "A war in Eastern Europe"?

Niko is a fictional character. The author of the character is Dan Houser/Rockstar. The name of the war that their character took part in has never been divulged.

Q: But Niko's Nationality/the war name is obvious!

Because Niko is a fictional creation of Dan Houser/Rockstar, and they have never revealed any of this information, Wikipedia uses the most exact information that they have released. i.e. We don't know Niko's nationality. We only know that the war took place in "Eastern Europe". Anything else, such as stating Niko's nationality because he speaks a certain language, fall foul of WP:OR and/or WP:SYN.

Confusing section

"At Roman's wedding, an assassin sent by Dimitri accidentally kills Roman with a stray bullet. Aided by Little Jacob, a devastated Niko murders Dimitri, who in turn had killed Pegorino. Later, Mallorie informs Niko that she is pregnant with Roman's child, whom Niko vows to protect. Should Niko choose to exact revenge, he finds and kills Dimitri aboard the Platypus. At Roman's wedding, Pegorino, furious at Niko's betrayal, targets him in a drive-by shooting, but accidentally kills Patrick's sister Kate, whom Niko had been dating. Aided by Little Jacob and Roman, Niko tracks down and kills Pegorino. Later, Roman tells Niko that Mallorie is pregnant and that they decided to name the baby after Kate if it is a girl."

How could Pegorino, who apparently has already been killed by Dimitri, show up at Roman's wedding to kill Niko? 208.69.184.59 (talk) 09:13, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
