Soapboxxers in GTA IV are generally classified into two groups.
Soapboxxers in GTA IV are generally classified into two groups.


The first are African American '''preachers''' who constantly warn about doom for humanity. They appear to be rather eccentric but delusional, their statements often lacking factual basis. Even so, they believe that what they're saying is true. They are most likely a play on the "bible belt" fundamentalist preachers who often come into large cities (such as Washington, D.C. and New York City) to preach "the good word" to anyone passing by. There are two different character models of preachers, each with there own view on what hell is in store for those who are nonbelievers and the "heaven" that those who believe will go to when they die. If you listen to them, you can hear them say some rather odd and interesting things.

They are most likely a play on the "bible belt" fundamentalist preachers who often come into large cities (such as Washington, D.C. and New York City) to preach "the good word" to anyone passing by. There are a variety of randomized character models of preachers, each with there own view on what hell is in store for those who are nonbelievers and the "heaven" that those who believe will go to when they die.


The other form of soapboxxers are Caucasian American '''conspiracy theorists''' who attempt to spread far-fetched conspiracy theories relating to the government and the conformity of society. They warn of how corrupt the government (specifically, that of the United States) and how the government spies on them (explaining that the government has put robots in the drinking water). On other occasions, they tend to express their thoughts on a Utopian society where food is plentiful. They appear to be slightly drug induced and each model has its own unique dialog.

The locations of both soapboxxers are usually the same, with both characters interchanged during certain times when the player passes by the same location. Common locales predominantly include landmarks in [[Algonquin]], such as the [[Suffolk|Suffolk church]], [[Star Junction]], the Algonquin end of [[Broker Bridge]], [[Middle Park]], hospitals, and opposite the [[South Bohan Safehouse]].

While most locations may feature both a preacher or conspiracy theorist, only preachers may appear standing in front of a chapel building in the [[Alderney State Correctional Facility]] prison yard.
They also both appear in front of the chapel [[Alderney State Correctional Facility]] prison yard (although it is probably meant for preachers to only spawn here).
