Grand Theft Auto IV/Friends

There are up to ten possible friends to do activities with throughout the game. Once you get a friend's "like percentage" high enough, then it will unlock there special abilities (The respect stat has no influence on unlocking special abilities). Unlike girlfriends, you can only take a friend to activities that they like (These are predetermined and are the same for every game). You can do up to three activities at once. If you accidentally kill your friend or they are killed by a police officer because they are drunk, you will get a call from them asking you to pick them up and then return them home. If you kill your friends intentionally, well you can expect them to like you a little less. Doing activities with Little Jacob Hughes, Brucie Kibbutz, Packie McReary, Clay Simons, Terry Thrope, Armando Torres and Henrique Bardas count toward 100% completion (Roman Bellic, Dwayne Forge and Jim Fitzgerald don't).

Except Roman, Clay, Jim, Terry, Armando and Henrique when a sleeping Call back at the Time when then sleeping.
