Nope, not if I can't have in game girlfriends and f*ck female prostitutes. Only if boyfriends are optional. A bi protagonist seems plausible though. Remember when TBOGT was coming out and the neglect it got due to the title. I do.

Once again I am not a homophobic person, just like having women around, to 'interact' with.

I was going to wait for more answers, but it's late here and I wanna stop before I start saying sh*t.

I just asked this because since the first "deep trailer analysis", tons of topics appeared complaining about protagonist being a father, being old, having one or more than one protagonist... generally ending with the comment "if it's going to be like this, I won't buy it!"

Now, the question that I won't read the answers now, but I'll keep track of them tomorrow: if you discover the protagonist is a father, and at a certain level this will affect gameplay (that is, his son/daughter can be the subject of a mission for example, different from Niko's mother who only "appears" in emails), would you still play the game?

[Severe]

Did this need a thread of it's own?

I'll help you with the answer, it's: No.

I'm quite sure he is just visualizing it. It is more or less the American dream. A family man would be gay.

Isn't that sort of an oxymoron?

As long as he isn't a huge sperg about it like Bruno or Florian/Bernie (unless they can work around the flamboyancy)

[HoboDealer]

The narrator doesn't HAVE to be the protagonist either, I stick by my belief that it's from another character during a cutscene.

I'll answer both questions here. First of all I would not buy GTA V if the protagonist was homosexual. It would mean no prostitutes, boyfriends, gay jokes and a lot of camp people most the time that i can't stand.

Now onto the next question. I'd play the game if the protagonist was a farther period. It doesn't matter to me that he is a dad because he could still go to strip joints, have girlfriends, pick up prostitutes and so on. His son/daughter involved in missions would be cool also(assuming they are 16+) and would make some missions more personal.

Sorry, but it's been bothering me ever since the trailer came out that people automatically assume that the trailor narrator (and most likely our protagonist) is a family man. The entire quotation can be taken as a hypothetical, or that it is yet to happen. Just look: "Be a good guy for once, a family man, So, I bought a big house, came here, put my feet up, Thought I'd be a dad like all the other dad's, My kids, will be like the kids on TV, we play ball and sit in the sun, But, well, you know how it is." He doesn't have to have kids, he is just expecting that he will. Also, for those of you who claim the "FPS playing son" from the RAGE casting call is his son, why would he want to play ball with him? That kid is supposed to be 17-18. You don't play ball in the yard with an 18 year old. Its his fantasy. He wants to come to LS to fulfill it.

i always thinked of this also,he didn't need to be a father,maybe that's what he want's/wanted when he got to LS.

[Druffmaul]

Whether you think he's definitely a father or not a father, either way you're jumping to conclusions.

But to me, what he says indicates that he's probably already a father. He makes no mention of having or finding a wife and settling down to start a family, i.e. having babies. He jumps straight to "playing ball" with his kids, something that would be a long way off if he didn't already have them. But there's no way to know for sure.

People want a viril character, not a feminized version of a male. Might as well have a woman as a protagonist.

Sure calling you when you are in some random missions, or you are just in the middle of the forest...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh motherf*ckers!!

Nothing son, I'm just with this psycho, this Niko Bellic again. I'm busy, go with your mum...

Just because a man likes other men, it doesn't make him feminised.

The question was 'would you play as a gay character?', not 'would you play as a camp character?'. There is a difference.

[ayyob]

they said " a bold new direction " and i think it means something new we never experienced it in previous GTA games !
so we don't know what is his position in the game !

[saintsrow]

OP: I agree completely with your point and the reason that you made it - trying to set people straight on what the narrator did and did not specifically say.

If the people on this forum were taking a SAT test in comprehension and logic, where they were queried about whether the narrator definitely has children, it seems like about 90% would say yes, and fail that question.

The responses to this thread further confirmed that reading comprehension remains at about 10% of the forum population.

[HoweyLad]

I've always thought that the trailer narrator had been asked a direct question from the protag and was answering it.

i think the narrator is a contact you get after the first 15 missions or so and asks about what your doing in LS, you then ask him the same and he comes out with the whole "why did i move here, i guess it was the weather" story.
