Structure
Opening cutscene
Gary and DJ Shed on the terraces at Grimscar
Cutscene Dialogue points
- Grimscar is a hole, but it's full of good, hard working, honest northerners
- New football club owner is a big boost for the area
- It will never be as big a "the city" down the road
- The main thing the city has going for it is Ronnie P's Chicago House night (it's empty the rest of the time) and that's crap as it's over by 2am.
- Shed in a DJ the Whetlocks Pub, also known as the Sweat Box.
- They agree they should administer a little "self-help" and put on their own event, Shed jokes Gary's kind of self-help is helping himself to a venue and all the gear.
Sub Missions (Locked to a very small area / on rails , like North Yankton)
- Venue: Find and break in.
- Power: Mini game (see High on Hope promo visuals for stealing power)
- Sourcing the gear (see High on Hope promo)
- Promo: Grafitti, flyers
- Lead the convoy, lose the dibble
