Pedestrians

Pedestrians appear in all Grand Theft Auto games. Simply put, they are civilians and residents of the city you're in.

Pedestrians come in all shapes and sizes, ages, and races. Each have their own dialogue, and interact with each other as well as the player. Children are not in any Grand Theft Auto game, however.

Depending on what city, district, and time setting you're in, the civilians reflect to it. For example, in Vice City, you'll find many civilians dressed in 80's apparel due to its time setting. You will also never see a homeless person in an affluent area of town, nor would you see a businessman in the country.

Also, certain pedestrians, generally, drive certain vehicles. More wealthy civilians typically drive more luxurious cars, and poorer pedestrians typically drive less-appealing vehicles.

Aside from simply interacting with each other and the player, certain pedestrians can also perform other tasks, such as car-jacking the player. Some even fight when provoked, or try to retrieve their car if you happen to steal it from them.

Hookers are a special type of pedestrian that are able to enter your car and able to have sex with you, replenishing your health bar, for a fee.

Pedestrians can be run over by cars, shot, and beaten up. Some 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 GTA Vice cit Stories pedestrians and cops can swim
