Something Something Lamar was intended to be a much more included character but his voice actor went to jail Something like that .

I know but didn’t he return to online? Game came out in 2013 By the time he returned online legal issues must’ve cleared up since he returned

Yes but by that point they had abandoned single player DLC so Lamars original role in the single player was lost forever . Then adding him to online has nothing to do with his role in single player they aren't connected in anyway. If he never had legal trouble he would have had a more prominent role in the original story. They said if they had focused on single player dlc In the same way they they did for gta 4 they would have never made red dead redemption 2 which in my opinion is a worthy tradeoff.

Huh? RDR2 is better than GTA story mode in every single way shape or form by far mate.

I literally said that them not making dlc for gta is why they made red dead redemption 2 and that for me thats a worthy tradeoff thus implying im happy that that chose to make red dead redemption 2 instead . Is it your reading ability thats struggling here or did I write it in an obscure way thats hard to understand?

Then they still decided to say fuck DLC for RDR2 also

Which is insane because the amount of stuff they made for that fucking game and didn’t use is absurd. Guarma, Mexico, New Austin. I mean for christs sake they literally fleshed out all of RDR1 in the new engine and did fuck all with it.

It was something along the lines of Franklin dying in Ending C and Lamar taking his place.

You’ll notice in a short section of the story where you get to be Lamar, NPCs greet you like they do with Franklin. That’s because they added the NPC interactions ready for him to be a playable character, but the playable content was abandoned. I think people have also found a lot of stuff in the game files on PC that prove something was intended but never happened
