My final required session playing San Andreas was rather similar to the first two. Again I played for over an hour, and most of the missions I attempted to complete involved some sort of violence. There were two in which I had to participate in drive-bys and another where I had to steal a van. Each mission earned me more respect but I still have not made really any money. My lack of money led me to my first ethical, moral, and honest desicion, but it came about thanks to illegal means.
As I attempted to get back to "Sweet's" house to learn of my next mission I happend to come across a cab and, after stealing it, I learned of a feature of the game that I had forgotten. Driving a cab allows your character to earn money in an honest and moral fashion. The game allows you to pick up normal customers and take them to their destinations. It was refreshing to actually make some money without causing harm to anyone. But in the end the money you recieve is not nearly as much as you can make by completing the missions once your respect level has reached a high enough point.
I forgot to add in an earlier post that CJ, when in conversation with strangers can choose to act in a positive manner or a negative one. I chose on both occasions to act positively in hopes that it would benefit me in some way. In both instances acting apporpriate moved me ahead in the game. The next time this offer proposes itself I will choose to act hostile just to see what happens. But I'm guessing nothing good will come out of the interaction.
I like this version of the game better that the older ones because they provide you with more missions so you do not get stuck on one mission and the game becomes boring. By letting you choose between three missions at a time helps futher the game and makes in much more fun to play. And even though I am done posting for it I think I'll keep playing.
