Branimir202 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Niko never seemed like that great of a person to be honest, as a character he was great but I'm talking story wise he seemed really hypocritical. He never really seemed to regret that bad things he did maybe for a second or 2 but he mainly seemed to care about more and more money. With how he got paid he should've been well enough off at the middle point of the story, instead it seems like his greed got the best of him. Darko made a great point "How much do you charge to kill someone" after Niko was asking why Darko killed his friends for 1000$. I know its grand theft auto, all the main characters are bound to be killing people in the story, Niko just seemed like it wasn't any big deal. He didn't seem to really feel bad for his past either, more like he wanted to escape from it but never like he truly regretted it What would you guys place him as, a good person, bad person , hypocritical, did what he needed to, what?

super_slav Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Well, I liked Niko, he was my favourite GTA protagonist, he made me laugh allot and he had a cool accent, he had a real good personality that I think suited the great storyline of GTA IV.

junkpile Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 What would you guys place him as, a good person, bad person , hypocritical, did what he needed to, what? despite good and evil don't exist, Niko is probably all of this. he does what "he has to do" and he is hypocritical. in short, he is human.

jf6293 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 He was a soldier in Yugoslavia, so I'd say he fit nicely into his character, it depends how you see him, from his side, he was a good person, doing what he could to get by in his new life and helped his cousin and new friends Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/469655-nikos-character-traits/#findComment-1060339357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDynasty Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Niko Bellic wanted to find Darko but then Roman told him that he should let him go cause he knew what he done and it would change nothing that he died since he's a junkie anyways but Dmitri deserved to die and after the ending Niko just disappeared Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/469655-nikos-character-traits/#findComment-1060339402 Share on other sites More sharing options...

VercettiCrimeFamily Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Maybe R* wanted to portray his character as keeping his problems/Past memories to him self?

bat66wat6 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Niko Bellic is a hypocrite and a bad person. Killing other people for money, no "good person" does that. However in the GTA IV world nice guys truly do finish last, in fact nice guys aren't even included in the storyline and if they are it's for a short time because they wind up dead. The "keep your drugs of our streets" guy in Bohan who got shot by the drug dealer then taken to a back street doctor who harvested his organs. It really all depends what side of Niko you want the emphasise and draw out. He is obviously greedy because he was lured out to America having heard about all the mansions, fast cars and American ti***es from Roman. On the flip side he wanted to escape his war-torn crap hole of a country and be with his cousin. Niko also had to protect his cousin against all the low-level druggies, thieves and scum of liberty city that many other despised immigrants like him and Roman get hassled by. However even if Niko didn't have to protect Roman, if Roman was surviving but not rich to the heavens like he said in his emails, Niko would still have murdered his way up the rankings of Liberty City because otherwise he would be a nobody. Just another disgusting European "ruskie" fresh of the boat living in the gang-run neighborhoods of LC. So...why not put his skills to use - there are always people that need killing in LC and people willing to pay for your "services".

Bertrum Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) You could say he is a good person as he was killing to protect his cousin. You could say he is a bad person as he became greedy and killed more and more for money. You could say he is hypocritical as he wanted to escape his past, yet he hunted the people from his past. Niko is also my favourite main character, however I got sick of keep having to save Roman. I really agree with this, it become repetitive and boring after a while. I still love the game though.
