10 Secret Video Game Mechanics That Let You Mess With NPCs
9. Shooting Homes And Stealing Cars - Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V's protagonists share a somewhat bizarre dynamic where, on the one hand, they are like family to each other, on the other, they absolutely hate each other's guts.
So basically like an adoptive, highly dysfunctional family.
There are a lot of interactions between Michael, Franklin, and Trevor that let them hang out, drink together, and do other friendly activities. However, if you want to tap into the other, less wholesome side of their relationship, GTA comes with secrets that let you do just that, by trolling them to oblivion.
The game does actually make the other protagonists respond if you mess with them. For example, if you steal their car, they'll message you about it, and if you start shooting at their home, they'll straight up call you, angrily demanding that you stop.
Each interaction like this is fully unique and can even have stages to it, starting with a text and ending in a threat-filled phone call, so if you're curious or bored and in the mood to cause some mayhem in Los Santos, be sure to give the other protagonists a nasty surprise.
