ROLEPLAYING IN GTA

In this article we will be giving you all some tips for adding a roleplaying experience to GTA, a game that usually isn't associated with roleplaying. Remember that you don't habe to all these things when roleplaying in GTA and if you did that would get awfully boring almost. These are just general tips for Roleplaying


What is Roleplaying

Roleplaying is when somebody pretends that a game is real. For example in GTA you would pretend to need 3 meals a day or something along those lines. Many people do it to add another layer to there gaming experience. It also can make the game more challenging. All these things will be explained in detail in this article.


Eating

Most people will eat 2 to 3 meals a day so why should Nico be any different. Try to have at least 1 meal a day, and shake things up sometimes by going to a different restaurant other than Cluckin' Dell or Burger Shot, for example the 69th Street Diner on Bart Street near where you begin the game is a cool little place to go, or you can also pretend to get some food from one the Superstar cafe's around Algonquin. A hotdog or some nuts is always a good snack for between meals.


Driving and Vehicles

In everyday life people DON'T steal a million cars and trash them everyday, or take a a car just because it's really cool looking or because it's an ice-cream truck. So when you choose a car (preferably from a car dealership, a good one to take a car from is the Auto Eroticar in Alderney). But generally people don't know how to fly a Helicopter, well our man Nico does because he was in the army and thats where he learnt to fly. If and when you do crash a car (lets admit it's inevitable) you should call the ambulance and a firetruck, just in case. Now for the extreme roleplayers out there, there is something else you can do. And that is obey the road rules.* This would only really apply when driving around in between missions and for missions that don't involve a chase. Also if you are a very poor person than you wouldn't have a really flash car, or even 2 cars so try to pick a vehicle class for your social standing. Although if your playing a completely psychotic criminal and think nothing of human life then go ahead and kill maime and steal anything that isn't nailed down and that the game will let you.



Clothes

In the beginning of the game your a very poor person, and your clothes represent that. You should and get your clothes to reflect how much money you have and in a way, how far through the game you are. When Brucie send you a message at some point during the game saying that you should check out Perseus that is the time it's acceptable to wear perseus clothing. While your in Broker and Bohan only wear Russian Clothes not only because that's all you can wear but because it suits your standing in Liberty City's underground network.


Crime and Missions

If you rear end a policeman stop and let him arrest you, if you don't then it's all down hill from there. Now this is a game that is all about crime I mean, the game is called Grand Theft Auto. But there are some exceptions, to being a crazy crime lord, such as the aformentione rearing of a policman, that's a no-no, If you plan on stealing from one the stores in Liberty City taht you can raid then wear the Ski mask that you get after completing the mission Three Leaf Clover for Packie. With missions try to do one a mission a day, most criminals don't just constantly do mission after mission without sleep. And when you have multiple mission givers, do a mission for each of them, spread the Nico-style justice around all of the people of Liberty City. People aslo almost never drive along the side walk just to see how much blood splatter they can get on the hood of their car so don't really do that.


Guns and Ammunition

Even though there is a ammo limit in place that is still an ureasonable amout of firepower for one man to carry. So choose 1, maybe 2 guns and some 'nades or Molotoves and go with those. If you have a car with you then you can take a rocket launcher. But you should try to stay close to your car so that you can justify having 8 missiles. And that brings us to ammo Nico must have very deep pockets if he can carry 1400 Pistol rounds, 80 Shotgun shells 570 Assualt Rifle bullets, all there respective gunsand still have room for all that money* and grenades So choose maybe for example a pistol, with 50-60 shots* and an Assault Rifle maybe 100-200 shots and your set with a3 or 4 grenades. With Molotov Cocktails however because of thier made-on-the-fly nature you could carry around a full ammo load and just say that you carry around some spare rag and found the beer bottles tghat are required.


Friends and Relationships

With the girlfriends I think that you should only have one at a time simply becuase generally people aren't usually bigamists, agin you could be if you wanted to With the friends you can have, you should try and maintain good relationships with the ones that give you missions because people aren't going to give jobs to people they don't like or trust and another thing you could do is whenveer you want to do a mission is take the mission giver out on a friend date thing so that they will trust you that bit more and let you do this for them ---


Mods

Now I don't have GTAIV on PC so I don't know much about the mods out there or even really waht you could do with the GTA source code but imagine that there would be added realism mods, much like the ones for Oblivion and Morrowind and they would also add to the Roleplaying experience.

Afterword

And that's it if anyone can think of anything else then you are more than welcome to add it and change around my stuff thanks for reading

  • This is not a complusory part of Roleplaying and can get very boring if dome for a long period of time.
  • If there were to be a rule for money then it would be that if you were to make a bigger purchase then say $500 then you should visit an ATM and "take out" the money required.
  • Yes I realise that this is also a fairly unreasonable ammo limit but you still need to do missions, If you can think of another idea put it in there.
