Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough

Head over to Playboy X's pad, at the north end of Algonquin on Xenotime Street. When you're there, Playboy X will be lounging around, smoking and drinking and talking about his future plans. However, he has something extremely serious to talk to you about. Basically, he wants his old friend Dwayne dead, and he is trying to hire you to do the job. Of course, this puts you in a ridiculously awkward position, but beyond that, it provides for you one of the big choices in the game you will have to make. For, you can either kill Dwayne, or you can kill Playboy X. One must go.

After the cutscene concludes, break out your cell phone and call Dwayne. He'll give you his side of the story, about how he thinks Playboy X wants him dead, and that he thinks he needs to strike back. He'll even ask you do it for him. Then, call up Playboy X, and he'll reiterate what he told you earlier -- he wants Dwayne dead. It's at that point that you have to make a really important decision. Who will you kill? We here at IGN Guides opted to kill Playboy X. Why? Well, it's easy to rationalize it like this. Playboy X doesn't really offer you anything if you let him live (in fact, he's a thorn in your side). Dwayne offers you not only his friendship (so you can go out with him), but if you get his friendship level high enough, he'll have an ultra-useful feature you can exploit at will. This guide doesn't cover killing Dwayne. It does cover Playboy X. (That shouldn't stop you from doing it the other way around if you so desire, however).

After both phone conversations are over, your ultimatum will flash on-screen, with a red "X" and "D" appearing on your HUD. Head towards the "X", which if you pulled out your phone right after leaving Playboy X's before you'll be right near. If you somehow strayed, then just head back to Xenotime Street at the north end of Algonquin and head into the arrow. When you arrive, Playboy X quickly realizes you didn't kill Dwayne, but that you came for him instead. And even though he talks a lot of crap, he stills runs away and leaves his friends to deal with you.
