Niko's bitterness at the murder of his friends during the war has consumed him, and he is unable to let it go, taking on several highly dangerous jobs merely to enable his quest for vengeance. He is urged by several of his friends, most notably Roman, to find a new reason to live, but it is only after Niko finally has the opportunity for revenge that the player may choose for him to take it, or let it go.

Niko's businesslike manner usually leads him to behave more maturely and cautiously than his acquaintances, although with acquaintances like [[Brucie Kibbutz]], [[Bernie Crane]] and Roman, this is no surprise. He is a binge drinker, but has an apparent distaste for illicit drugs, turning down [[Little Jacob]]'s offer of marijuana and warning against Packie's cocaine habit; he also finds it distasteful to traffick in cocaine and particularly heroin, although this may be due to the heavy jail sentences they attract as much as any moral qualms. He is skeptical of American mainstream culture, which he sees as shallow, hypocritical and debauched, and has trouble relating to Roman's fascination with the country.

Niko always refuses alcohol when being invited and asks for water instead, except for the mission [[The Holland Play]] where [[Playbox X]] pours him a glass but immediately before taking a sip [[Playboy X]] says a very definite "No!" in his discourse which seems to stop Niko. The reason for this is unknown, perhaps because of his abusive drunk father or his own past drinking problems.
