Dan Houser is a pretty good writer let's be honest, he's stories and characters have always managed to add depth and meaning to the worlds Rockstar Games create. He's influence and impact at the company was nothing short of remarkable. I myself, did not enjoy GTAV, but that was not due to the narrative choices they made, but more so game design ideas that I felt were a detriment to the lead characters. I remember Niko Bellic to this day, but I couldn't tell you a single character from GTAV without Google. Having the choice to switch between each character never really lets you digest either one in a meaningful way. Those characters were written really well, but aren't given enough screen time to give them layers of depth in terms of personality to propel a meaningful story.
