Ped's and their Uses

We should be allowed more freedom and chance for interaction with NPC's.

 

The peds who are the ones that make the city feel alive because they're the ones who ARE alive. The more real and convincing we can interact with the peds the more life like the city is. Rockstar have been lacking in this area for a while. I remember reading in previews for IV that we could grab peds and use them as cover when fighting the police. Turns out this was just made up. I also read (probably in Kikizo) that The player could throw peds off buildings which infers that grabbing them in headlocks and dragging them around was possible. Again, this was merely fantasy.

 

However I expect far more interaction possible with peds when it comes to melee fighting in V. Things like:

 

-dragging them by their clothes

-using them as hostages

-being able to tie them up with rope

-using a gun to get them to drive you around

 

 

All this needs to be implemented. Rockstar really miss out on the obvious with GTA, like GTAIV which was mostly a stepforward and a step backwards also paradoxically.

Interesting, if we could use them as shields (as hinted in trailer 2) it would make robberies so much more dynamic.

Mysterious?

Their only use is cannon fodder for your new toy.

 

Make them die better.

I agree man. I suggested the addition of a grab button in my combat system idea here.

This is for mele combat but if you had a weapon drawn the grab would take them as a human shield instead. As for holding a gun to their head and making them drive you around I also suggested that here. biggrin.gif

Basically its like the taxi ride where you tap Y to steal the car but hold Y to get in as a passenger. In this case you would hold Y to get in on the passenger side and make them drive at gun point.

I second that human shields would be cool! during a bank heist grab a loan officer

I hope it means we can take pedestrians hostage. With the flicking off and talking to pedestrians confirmed I think we have quite many interaction options confirmed already. It should be alright.

it would be nice if gta v included dismemberment, i would drive around the city with a tank and just run over every npc i see

I hope they add the ability to pick up peds like you could in RDR. Maybe be able to kidnap people for fun. lol...

That's the only interaction I want.

Yep exactly what I want. You should be able to dump them in your trunk while they scream and shout from the inside. biggrin.gif

I liked the ped intereraction that was implemented in San Andreas, with positive or negative response possibilities. It would be neat if they could bring that back, then make some of the possibilities for conversation last longer, that could even lead up to a new mission or a new ally.
