Careers/backgrounds

[dream3r]

So I had this idea before the game came out that people would be able to choose how they made their money besides just doing the same missions as everyone else. By this I mean career paths. Since this is GTA I'm not talking about being a doctor I'm talking about being an arms dealer like Trevor or a drug kingpin (could see some people with RVs out in the desert making meth XD) Or more traditional to GTA V, being a heist man/woman. Choosing a path would effect what missions you get and effect your overall character. How so you ask? Let me explain a scenario below...

 

I choose to be an arms dealer once I reach level 10 or so and know the basics. Now I'm starting up my business. First things first is to deliver arms via car. Build connections, doing simple missions that as I progress become more difficult and worth more money. Eventually I'm running a business that compete with T.P. and delivering arms to a large crew online. I drop the guns via airplane at the crew's hangout (which should be a thing too) and their leader wires the money to me. Now say I've built my business and I'm growing bored of dealing arms I can choose to become a heist man but I'd be starting from the bottom just like anyone else.

 

Going along with that you could have a stat list just like your skills but instead of stamina, shooting, driving, etc. It would be...

 

Arms Dealer: Rank 5

 

Drug Dealer: Rank 0

 

Crooked Cop: Rank 0

 

Heist Man:

 

...and the list goes on. Crooked cop is an interesting idea where you could fake arrest wanted players and let them go for $$$. Do you guys like the idea to have a career path and what would you like to see from it? How about it unlocking gear only for that class? Customization cop cars for crooked cop or mansion with a room for boxing dope?

Also I said background in the title in case it was something you chose while making character instead of choosing later on, just fyi

Just an idea as I was playing, some could be things you're going to do anyway that improve as you go. An example being car jacking. Cars could be ranked by pricetag and you can only sell what you have the skills to sell. As you get better you could sell more luxury like cars. (not 10 million dollar ones but nice ones, like 100-200k)

Seems like it'd be cool you got my vote
