GTA VI: 13 Things Fans Want (That Probably Won't Happen)
10. A Female Protagonist
What Fans Want: The GTA series has had exclusively male protagonists thus far, and with the introduction of the character-switching options in GTA V, why wasn't there a female thrown into the mix as well? Rockstar have commented on the exclusion before, noting that GTA is very much concerned with masculinity, and of course, who likes tokenism? That said, it'd be an interesting twist to allow players able to select a female character and see these worlds through the eyes of "the fairer sex", who probably wouldn't be so fair in the GTA Universe. Why It Won't Happen: Rockstar have given a distinct impression that they don't want to compromise their stories just for the sake of introducing a token female character, and GTA VI would inevitably attract plenty of flak for it, especially if the character in question isn't well-massaged into the story and feels like an afterthought. Comparatively, the controversy stemming from the lack of a female protagonist isn't exactly incendiary, and Rockstar have been able to fan the flames pretty well each time, so it's just not a priority at all.
