I really don't know why people want happy endings for all GTA characters. They're criminals living dangerous lives. It's unlikely and unrealistic if they all get away with it.

My headcanon has bad endings for most of them.

Vic Vance - we know killed at the beginning of Vice City

Tommy Vercetti - obvious thing here is the Forellis got revenge for Sonny. They were still around in GTA3, no one heard of a Vercetti gang

CJ - well we know how big the Leones got, and he swore to kill CJ. It's not unrealist8c he put a successful hit on him

Toni Cipriani - after Salvatore was killed the Leones fell apart. Toni either faced the wrath of the Triads, or police investigating him got him without Salvatores protection

Claude - almost everyone wanted this dude dead

Niko and on I haven't given much thought to. But prison or death is by far the most likely for all of them

Okay?

Niko did bad things, but for the most part, he seemed like a genuinely good guy that actually wanted to escape his past and lead a normal life after he deals with Darko, that is.
His particular set of skills just kept getting him pulled back into the shit he was trying to escape from. The end of GTAIV pretty much implies that he's giving it all up and leading the quiet life that he's been going through hell for. And it's not like most of the major people that he killed will be missed. They were mainly leaders of failing gangs and mob families and such.
