4. The Protagonist Dies
Not to give away any spoilers, but if youve been a R* fan for any length of time, youll know that theyre not above killing off their lead protagonist, should the story call for it. Its one of the reasons I love em; theyre not just making games, theyre telling
stories. And in story, sometimes the hero dies. Several of the rumour roundups which are dotted around the internet argue that this will be the case with GTA Vs protagonist and that once hes popped his clogs, youll take control of his son or brother for the end-game free play. This theory has since been debunked, but the debunker himself isnt actually a massively reliable source either; hes a friend of an Ex-R* employee (for GTA V news, it really has come to
this). Said friend insists that GTA Vs protagonist does not die at the end. Im inclined to hope that this is the case as one thing Im not keen on is the idea that main character deaths are becoming a R* staple. If I
know theres a good chance that a R* protagonist could die at the end, it becomes a much less powerful story telling tool than it should be. Im hoping that this rumour is simply born from a GTA fan boy trying to be clever, trying to predict R*s movements based on their history. If it isnt, then it could mean the legendary GTA designers are starting to become predictable.
