Sinnerman sucks

[anything_js]

I have stayed on the police van's tail, no more than 40 meters, and invariably the mission fails before it stops. I tried this 6 times with the same results. It's already a frustrating mission with a crap car and kamikazes.

You also can’t save the client cuz it’s heavily scripted

No argument from me. ♥♥♥♥♥♥ gig, deliberately failed this both playthroughs because IDGAF about whiny Bill Jablonsky & his dead wife...

[DesertBloom]

I ran into this problem a few times too, pretty frustrating — I found that if I hit any pedestrians by accident or smashed into any cars the mission automatically failed. Not really sure why. Driving carefully and not hitting any cars or people worked for me

You need following car without police wanted stars.

Saving the client isn't the point of that questline.
Jablonski (more specifically what he wishes to do) is the point of it.

IMO it's one of the most powerful side quests I've ever played in a game in my 44 years of gaming.

if you fail the quest, Bill will live...

If anyone dies during the chase, the mission ends.

I've stated before that I saw a recorded stream when the player had a damage increase mod that was killing all passengers with a tap on the vehicles and a nudge on any pedestrian. Someone in her chat told her to turn it off. She was able to complete the chase even with hitting a few cars after doing that.

When I've done the chase, the car will speed up when V got too close and slow down a bit when V got too far, but the car never stopped. So, it would still be possible to lose the car.

While this is true it is possible with a speed boost to rush the van and take out the cops and jablonski.

There is even dialog form your fixer when you do this for staying on task and competing the gig

Yes, the story is great, but the execution is horrible. It's one of the best and one of the worst missions in the game at the same time.

To me it falls completely flat, and is easilly my most hated quest of the game.

This quest is incredibly devisive, people either love it and say it's one of the best quests of the game, or they hate it, and say that it is one of the most boring and annoying quests of the game. I see very little inbetween those two extremes.

I need some guide for every gig to “know the point”? It’s me playing I want to do it my way, when I see jablonski dying anyway and then seeing 300 cops spawn on me I really start to hate this “questline”

i skipped this quest in my multiple playthough, just kill him and move on, i also skip river quest, f u ck river

I had at least 10 attempts at this before it occurred to me that not killing the target, nor the cop, leads to much more interesting developments. I have no mods, and I did lose the car a few times to be fair - that's on me - but ending it short just didn't feel like closure. I played it out to its natural (insane - visceral) conclusion. I think they could have gone further with this. Without spoiling it, I will say it could have spawned a new cult at least or even a full blown religious uprising, with all the crazy ramifications that would entail.

[Nachtflügel]

I played it once to its scripted end (okay, it's quite intriguing, but oh all that talking blablabla), and then never again. It's actually better to fail the chase by simply standing still, so no innocent people die.
