Ok, so random thought occured to me; have a female protagonist in the next GTA game. We haven't had any female protagonists in the GTA series. We've hade irritating girlfriends, health giving prostitutes and female antagonists (thats villians for those that don't know). But we haven't had a woman who is ruthless and likable as a character.
So, Rockstar pay attention this could work out to be a great idea and I'll want a royalty for this.
Alright, lets set GTA V in Vice City, we already got an updated Liberty City so the next logical step is to update Miam....I mean Vice City. Our protagonist is a single mother, yes I know, with 1 or 2 kids. Ok so motivation for doing these crimes. Lets face it in GTA you are either a whore in an office or a whore on the street. Our lady protagonist refuses to do either and is left with comming crimes.
Also here is why she is a single mother, or a married mother. This provides her with excellent motivation to do anything for her children. The fact that she would be doing this for the purpose of providing a better life for them makes her a relatable character. Additionally, as a father I can tell you that if it ment a guarantee to the health and prosperity of my child I would be willing to butcher half the universe. Fortunately for me I don't have to do that. I wouldn't want to in fact but I would be willing to. See why I want to make her a mother.
Additionally you can get some hillarious missions out of this. For example:
Your children are attending a friend's birthday party. One of the other moms ask you to go and check on the clown/cowboy/pirate entertainer. You head down to wherever he's at and find that he is drunk. So since we can't have disappointed kids you have to get him sober and then bring him to the party. So we can put in a minigame that involves sobering him up by nearly drowning him, you fail the mission if you hold his head in the cold water to long.
So, what do you all think? I think its a pretty good idea.

I don't think we should ever bring children into GTA. It'll just end up like Fallout where we can't kill the annoying things.

I'd be cool with a female protagonist, just leave the kids out of it.

No kids, they've ruined Fallout, not my GTA. But depending on how Rockstar handles it, it could be totally awesome, or really annoying.

Ok heres what should happen in the next GTA yous should be a cop..... i'll wait for everybody to yell at my post saying that defeats the point of GTA, but the idea is your the son of a crime boss, who is now in control of one of the biggest crime familys in liberty city, you are his son and you have been working for him under cover as a LCPD officer for several years, gathering info, slowing down police operations, sabotaging them etc. But your character has become emotinally attached with his co workers and his love interest, also a cop. So your character has to choose help the family or his brothers in blue, just an interesting idea... nothing more.

GTAIV is my favorite game and the GTA franchise is my favorite game series as well. If a GTA game has a female protagonist though, I think I'll turn to Saint's Row instead. Yes, that bad.

Just my problem though.

I'm a major GTA fan, and I kinda like the idea of having a female protagonist.

But then you can't go look at BEEG AMERICAN TEE TEES!

OT: I don't really see how it would work into the game, really. It just seems normal to have a guy protagonist for GTA.

Personally, no, I don't think that would be the best idea. Hard to put my finger on it but somehow, a female protagonist in a GTA game doesn't really seem right. I guess that's down the organised crime path the series has followed, having a male as the principal just seems to fit better if you ask me.

Nothing wrong with having female characters in the cast, mind. Though more of the likes of Elizabeta Torres and less of that worthless junkie girl from TLATD.

As for kids, in GTA, that's definitely a big nono. If you had kids being the offspring of the main character, would you then also have kids roaming around the city? It would be odd if the main characters kids were the only ones in the game, restricted to cutscenes and the like. On the other hand, having kids out in the big bad world of a GTA city would open up another whole can of worms.

Indestructible kids have already shattered the "reality" of the situation in Fallout 3 and Fable 2, so can you imagine what they'd be like in GTA? One moment you're driving down the pavement, merrily mowing down pedestrians, the next thing you know you've hit a child, which may as well be the immovable object for all it's worth, and your car stops dead, sending you flying through the windscreen. The car and you may be both be totalled, but there's not a scratch on the kid. Just like real life.

It's nigh on a dead certainty they would never put kids in a game. The resultant tabloid media frenzy, whether justified or not, would probably send the planet into a new ice age....

I don't have any problem with a female protagonist if they came up with a nice story and personality for her.

As for the kids, it's simple: when she considers entering a life of crime, she sends them to her mother in another town to protect them. And the whole "internal struggle" she has throughout the game is trying to get out of that life so she can bring her kids back to her side.

I know how sketchy that sounds, but I'm not making Rockstar's job any easier if they decide to go with that idea ;). Seriously, though, I just wanted to show it's possible to make the protagonist a single mother with kids and still don't have the kids present in the actual game, only in the opening and at the end.

Hahaha if this is a joke, it's hilarious. If you are actually serious..oh god.

I wouldn't mind a DLC "side story" as a woman, but I doubt the main protagonist will be a female in GTA, it's just something you don't normally picture woman doing.

I think the right kind of female protagonist would be really awesome. She would almost have to be a lesbian, making it semi plausible that she would go to a strip club, get a hooker, etc. i dont think the majority of GTA players would want to get guy prostitutes or strippers. spending as much time with that as they did in GTA4 just wouldnt really be worth it. it would also make an interesting reason why she wouldnt be a hooker herself.

as for fallout 3... 'somehow' a certain mayors hollowed out skull adorns my trophy rack. his brains were probably delicious too...

I don't want to control a female. If she can kill, jack cars, and live life on the fast lane all she wants, then i'd feel inadequate.

For starters, make a new city. And this time, completely fictional!! Im' tired of seeing New York and other cities based on New York. Bring back the San Andreas state!! You know, counties, mountainous hills, suburbs. A world with VARIETY. A good reason to actually roam around.

Secondly, bring back the humor! I miss Ryder and Cj's...

Dude, that shit was tight!
No dude, that shit was shit!

If you want, i dunno, make a, Grand Theft Auto future? And just take inspiration from Judge Dredd? Hahahaha

No, I liked all the bromance in GTA 4, the game is just not that good without the good story to moves it forward.

Yeah, good point. Or at most, the kids can show up for like one seen, then die or get kidnapped or just stay in the background for the entire game, and never bug you again.

Though, a teenage child could be good; if they avoid all the idiotic hollywood stereotypes they could make a support character that is actually interesting (this won't happen, of course; teenagers are never good characters in any games unless the game is Japanese, because all the characters over 20 are retired or useless).

Nope. It won't work too well, because how often do you see women having alot of sex and killing anyone they like ? in natural human nature it doesn't make sense.

A Man can get away with alot of things for the fact of being a man. Life isn't fair but thats why it's intresting.
