GTA IV 100%, and what it actually takes
Liberty City and Alderney as Niko Bellic. Once the 88 story missions are done, the 100% list is mostly side work: friends, police jobs, car thefts and 200 pigeons.

Where runs usually stall
The 200 Flying Rats are the long tail. Random characters need patience too, since several only show up a few in-game days after their last encounter, and each friend has to be taken to every activity they offer.
