What features you like from APB?

[Nietzsche's God]

For those who had played the game or seen video game play of the game (ALL POINTS BULLETIN), what part of it do you like that you would love to see in the next GTA game?

 

To me the only thing I like is the customization aspect of the game. The ability to customize your character and car. It would be a lot better than GTA 4 since you would only have an limited option to customize your character during online multiplayer: such as things like shirts, hats, and etc. APB does more than that. You can customize everything almost that there would be a greater chance of someone else not having the same look than your image that you want everyone to see (as long as you put some creative time to it).

 

Also, would it make it great if not only you can customize your character for online, but maybe you can do so in single player that is not different than recent games? - the one I can think of is Dragon Age Origin or Mass Effect 2 to name a few.

I have said it before and I will say it again: Single-player character creation is not, in any way, suitable for Grand Theft Auto, as the series is mainly plot- and character-driven. In Fallout 3, you're playing as the Vault Dweller, who's a tabula rasa - but the complete opposite is seen in Grand Theft Auto. The protagonists have backstories, so making them customizable would break the reality. In IV, you play as Niko Bellic, veteran, not Insert Name Here.

Also, VC and IV would make no sense whatsoever if the main characters were not, respectively, Italian-American and Balkan-Possibly-Serbian. Can you perfectly express a character's nationality given a character creating tool? Can you?

Granted, I hear it's not that uncommon, but still.

I want a full blown character creation tool for multiplayer.
