In previous games, it didn't matter what gender the driver is, CJ would kick or punch them all the same when dragging someone out a car.

But in GTA4, I don't know if anyone noticed. If there is a male driver, Niko will sometimes punch the driver, point his gun at the driver (next to the usual animation).
If the driver is female, Niko will NEVER do any of that, he will only pull her out (the default animation). Guess he's got a soft heart for women, but who wouldn't.

Yeah, i've noticed that since 2008 and I have to say Niko bellic is one respected main character I have seen honestly. But sometimes when his angry with issues of himself? Very different indeed.

[Celestail]

I guess he honner's the "never hit a girl" saying

[Jannekarj]

But there is an option in mission Ruff Rider to kill Cherise. Why would Niko kill her? She's a woman. I have played the story throught three times and never killed Cherise. So I don't know what Niko would say if I chose to kill her.

Why that option to kill that woman even is in the game?

[RustyPete]

Yeah, I always found the choice to kill or spare Cherise to be a bit strange. It's obvious what Niko would do.

But Niko did hit Gracie Ancelotti on multiple occasions, so it's not really fair to say that he NEVER hits woman.

Unless you're Gracie.

Yeah, I'm surprised feminists haven't complained about this.

Still, in the game I violently murder everyone anyway.

[Fisciletti]

Gracie is so faqin annoying.

Linki I'm feminist and I don't thinj GTA is so misogynist because, well, GTA retrates a BAD WORLD, including the patriarchy that exists in this world! I just think that it should have more woman in charge of criminal organizations in the game, like in GTA III (Catarina and Asuka Kasen)

Have you played the mission I'll Take Her? turns out he doesn't got a soft heart for women after all...

Gracie was about to crash the car and put them both in danger, it was for the best for both of them.

Yeah, did you read the Dan Houser Q&A? He says that the treatment of women in the game is just because it represents the real criminal world, like you say.

Nah, i mean the whole kidnapping a woman and taking her as a hostage idea, he seemed to have no problem with it.
Anyways judging by Niko's profile and lifestyle, i dont think men like him have problems hitting women...
Just stating my opinion...

Pretty sure Niko does point his gun at women.

[WF the Hobgoblin]

I hadn't noticed those things to be honest.

Regardless, Niko's morals go out the window when I'm controlling him. My Niko doesn't think twice about bashing some random woman's brains in.

Or banging a woman's brains out. Not in that order of course.

Her VA is cute,from the other hand.

[gta player13]

Have you ever seen ME playing???
Actually,I never drag drivers out.I shotgun them,and then drag their bodies out and enter.

[King Of Monra]

Strange, I remember Niko punching an old woman because she would not get out of the car.
