Ron as a protagonist?

I'd rather play as the Truth. Within the realms of conspiracy theorists in the GTA series, the Truth is much better than Ron.


Of course, none of them can top Alex Jones my bae

That chemtrail thing just made the whole topic ridiculous. I can't even believe anyone can be that stupid.

Nahh, Ron is too much of a comic relief character to be a protagonist. Him and Floyd and there to balance Trevor's brutality a bit. Having him by himself (or in charge of a crew) would seem very out-of-character. IMO, of course.

Ron? No, but I agree that the peripheral characters could have benefitted from more development and interaction.

 

I guess Wade is supposed to be funny, but I found him annoying. Still do. Spends all his time in a strip club now and apparently doesn't know when to shut up.

 

And I honestly found myself wishing I (as Trevor) could actually talk to Ron about something, instead of hearing the same "whacko" scripts over and over.

Hell no. And that goes for Floyd or Wade as well. Both of those are losers and morons too. And no to Lamar as well.

 

Just develop Franklin more, and call it good

GTA V SP DLC with retarded protagonists: Wade and Ron. In the first mission Ron will help Wade escaping the Vanilla Unicorn in a heist style mission and drive back to Sandy Shores. In the rest of the DLC story the two characters continue their conspiracy paranoia and fight against things that don't exist...

 

My brain hurts now. I'll be back later.

I couldn't see Ron as a playable protagonist unless Rockstar did something like Mother 3 (different protags by "chapter") or KOTOR (Give you the capability to bring along a couple of friends for missions and let you swap freely between them.) Honestly the latter would probably work better for GTA considering the former would kind of take away the avatar aspect of the main character, IE customized cars and earned money and whatnot, but they would have to record a pretty large number of lines, or record multiple versions of certain lines your "sidekick/s" would say during missions and cutscenes so I don't really think I could see them doing that.

Either way, if it's just a small selection and we HAD to pick one of Trevor's buddies I'd go with Wade over Ron, since Wade at least isn't crippled, no offense to crippled people but an old conspiracy nut with a gimped leg isn't gonna' be that great at dodging bullets. I could see Ron as maybe someone you could call for support, like Trevor calling him up to perform a ghetto airstrike on his enemies in a cropduster or something.

I don't think so he's just asking questions

Ron could actually be a decent character.

 

He was not always how he is currently - he was broken down by Trevor. Perhaps some event could transpire wherein Trevor needs Ron, building him back up and stronger. We see Ron shooting his pistol, and we know that he has excellent tech skills.

 

It would definitely allow for character development.

Ron and Wade are probably pure innocent. I don't see them actually killing somebody. I don't even remember if they are able to shoot someone in the first trevor mission or they just hide behind his truck, doing nothing. I actually was dissapointed by being unable to take Ron on some social activities.

Ron is a rat.

 

Not only is he cowardly, wimpy, dirty, he also tries to pick in vulnerable spots of people he consider weaker than himself.

The scene where he takes on Michael, while he's in Sandy Shores, will explain that - when Michael takes off his "weakened predator" look, look in the eyes of Ron and promises him to f*ck up his sh*t if he says a word more, Ron does a 180, and starts to call him "sir".

 

So, that is, Ron is a rat.

Actually, Floyd is a bit smarter than Wade. So he isn't technically a moron.

I'd rather play as Lester. Imagine having the ability to molest anyone.

With the ability to wheel yourself around or use a cane to slowly reach your destination, seeing as you wouldn't be able to steal cars from people off the street; they'd leave Lester in the dust.

Yeah Ron is miles better than Lester for a protagonist. :) Lester... driving around in a wheel chair? Or how would you move?

Ron could wear a tin foil fedora and molest other people, too.

 

He could spy anyone with some weird weapons

 

 

Yes, but could he wear a molester jester outfit like Lester?

As much as I like his character, Ron wouldn't work as a protagonist. He's not a violent person, so if he (or Wade) killed someone without Trevor forcing him to do it, it would be completely out of character.

 

There really aren't any supporting characters in V that could be protagonists in my opinion. Lamar has potential, but he's way too foolish and impulsive, and the game references the fact that he utterly fails at being a criminal numerous times.

 

 

So, I think Ron, Wade, and Chef should stay NPCs. They should have had more screen time though, and we should have been able to take them out on friend activities. Hopefully R* will add that in someday if we ever get single player DLC.

Would be something new and fresh for a protagonist. Edited by NumaYay

As a mini game yes, as a protagonist, he would be a bit hard to like, only because after 30 hours of his paranoid lizard people stuff, for me he'd be annoying.

 

Maybe missions for Trevor where in bits you play as him, a mission for Trevor where the lost attack Trevor, it switches to Ron who's freaking out but finally grows some balls and takes out the Lost himself. You can't have wade though, only because he would load the gun, pull the trigger, it wouldn't work. So instead of asking kind old trev, he would look down the barrel and pull the trigger again, this time blowing half his own head off because when trying to make his gun work, he knocked the safety to fire without knowing. He's rather dumb.

^ thats actually great idea.

 

But wouldn't a paranoid protagonist be something fresh? Trevor is already crazy, Ron would be an interesting protagonist, lots of opportunities for character development.
