3. NPC's Have A Life Of Their Own
We've already touched upon the new underwater world of Los Santos which can be explored with scuba diving equipment and submarines, but there's something else you should know. You're not going to be the only one exploring the murky, underwater depths - and I'm not just talking about the presence of sharks, either. The ocean bed is littered with downed chunks of ships and liners, plus other divers exploring the wreckage, meaning you're going to have a bit of company on your travels. One of my pet-peeves about GTA games is that the game's protagonist appeared to be the only person in the entire world actually doing something. Pedestrians would mill around on the streets, going about their day-to-day business brainlessly, but they weren't actually going anywhere, they were just there for show. Now, in GTA V, pedestrians appear to have a life, and hobbies, of their own. NPCs will be spotted taking part in activities appropriate to the areas theyre in. People will be fishing next to rivers in Blaine County, while drug addicts will be passed out on the beach. At last, the AI have a life of their own!
