In GTA 3 and Vice City there are cheats which allow the player to play as NPCs since those games have single outfits mechanic; this was scrapped in SA & IV since these games contain buyable clothes, models, and perfect lip syncing, it is very common to crash the game on [[Cutscene|cutscenes]] with these mechanics, there are mods that will let you play as NPCs though. | In GTA 3 and Vice City there are cheats which allow the player to play as NPCs since those games have single outfits mechanic; this was scrapped in SA & IV since these games contain buyable clothes, models, and perfect lip syncing, it is very common to crash the game on [[Cutscene|cutscenes]] with these mechanics, there are mods that will let you play as NPCs though. | ||

The pedestrians in GTA III to GTA Vice City Stories suffered from "clumping" in which the same models of pedestrian appear very often, sometimes even two pedestrians of the same model can be seen speaking to each other. This glitch was fixed in GTA IV. Though another glitch; "car clumping" which causes many of the same car model to spawn together, remains. Pedestrians throughout the GTA III era are identifiable due to the repeated clothing and models. | The pedestrians in GTA III to GTA Vice City Stories suffered from "clumping" in which the same models of pedestrian appear very often, sometimes even two pedestrians of the same model can be seen speaking to each other.

In addition, certain pedestrians are only found in appropriate places, and their behavior is much more realistic and distinguishable to that particular pedestrian. For example, homeless people will hang around in back alleys, lie around on the streets and ask other people, including the protagonist for spare change. Russian immigrants will hang around Hove Beach in Broker close to where the ships dock, rich suited businessmen can be found in Downtown Algonquin and criminals such as muggers and carjackers will hang around Bohan. Also, prostitutes only appear at night around the gritty areas of the city. | ||

Pedestrians can be run over by cars, shot, and beaten up. Many leave money when they die, which can be obtained by the player. Most of the time, if a pedestrian is killed, an [[ambulance]] will show up to heal the pedestrian, at which point the pedestrian will simply get up and continue with their business. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], pedestrians and cops can also swim, but only in a limit of times before dying. | Pedestrians can be run over by cars, shot, and beaten up.

Aside from the civilians who accidentally hit you with cars, there are | Aside from the civilians who accidentally hit you with cars, there are even much more dangerous pedestrians. Some examples include gang members, that are particularly dangerous as they are always armed and will almost always fight back. Up until GTA IV, they would attack you on sight if you strolled into their turf and you had bad relations with their gang, but in GTA IV they usually leave the player alone outside of missions, unless tempted to attack you. This can happen with the [[Russian Mafia]] if you rob the [[Russian Shop]] in [[Broker]] or with any gang if you attack or provoke a gang member. [[Taxi Drivers|Taxi drivers]] and other pedestrians will often respond to carjackings by trying to pull you out and beat you. Some pedestrians will fight back when provoked or call the police. Also to look out for are [[street criminals]] who are not common, but have been reported to carjack [[Protagonist|players]], pedestrians, and even [[police]]. In GTA IV, sometimes, pedestrians will come to the aid of other pedestrians if the player attacks them, or if the player attacks a female pedestrian, men may come to her aid. Also, pedestrians will sometimes come to the aid of the player if he is being attacked. In certain areas, if the player fires a weapon, a pedestrian may pull a gun and fire at the player in an act of bravery. | ||
