10 Incredible DITCHED Video Game Ideas

Grand Theft Auto V's final story mission gives the player three options - they can kill Michael, kill Trevor, or pick the "deathwish" option, in which Michael, Trevor, and Franklin team up to murder the hell out of every enemy they've got left.

But that third option was initially going to end with the death of Franklin, after which his space on the character wheel would be replaced by his good pal Lamar, making him playable for the entire post-game.

This was confirmed by Slink Johnson, the voice actor for Lamar, who stated that Rockstar ultimately opted not to kill Franklin due to Johnson's own unavailability to provide more voiceover for Lamar, as a result of personal issues he was going through during production.

While on one hand Franklin was certainly the protagonist most "deserving" of a death reprieve, Lamar's just so damn likeable that few would've had a problem with him taking up Franklin's mantle.
