The Dedito Gae Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) we always used a preset dude for a gta, created by R* with a defined personality , but, how would you react to a created protagonist for a gta? maybe the history would suffer for it or maybe they could give you more choices till the point of also creating the personality of your character,like choosing the way your CC replies to certain character or simply more story choices (choosing who lives, deciding how to finish a mission..) would you like this idea or you despise the thought of it? i would like to see this, besides Franklin was so plain that he would have been good as a created character instead, just saying.

universetwisters Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I wouldn't be too keen on it. I can imagine in that instance, Rockstar would seem to be imitating Saints Row. Rather, why not give us another protagonist like Claude? Just some dude nobody knows anything about who never speaks and does oddjobs for cash.

Claude is Claude, that why he's so cool, ir really hope we never get another mute protagonist, maybe quiet but not mute.

universetwisters Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 so, it would be good getting a boring character without personality but without the choice of deciding his look? Claude is Claude, that why he's so cool, ir really hope we never get another mute protagonist, maybe quiet but not mute. What's the difference between that being uncool and Claude being cool "because he's Claude", nevermind the fact that he's what you just described as boring?

universetwisters Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Again, there's a big difference between a mute protagonist who simply doesn't talk and a protagonist who's always I WANNA GET OUT OF THE HOOD I WANNA MOVE UP. If you had the basicmost level of comprehension, you would've understood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Cowboy Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If they still are capable of writing GTA IV-style character exposition, then no. Hair and fashion are enough to tweak a character to my liking, leaving the rest of the room for the dev to give them some real immersive backstory and personality. This game CAN tell a good story if they actually gave a sh*t again. Kafonix and The Dedito Gae 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnits Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Leave the character creator for GTA Online, it doesn't belong in a story driven singleplayer mode. The Dedito Gae, Nah nah nah Gta 6, Sawnek and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nah nah nah Gta 6 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I feel like the silent protagonist type like Claude wouldn't really fit in with the HD universe... Algonquin Assassin, Captain Delitian and The Dedito Gae 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDagger Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) One problem with this would be voice acting. Unless they're a silent protagonist, Rockstar would need to have quite a few different accents depending on how complex the customiser is - that wouldn't be an easy task, doing every single line for each voice actor. Then there's the point of story. They'd have to have one hell of a generic story - no gang-banger, redneck, eastern european immigrant, biker etc. for you, as it wouldn't make sense. You couldn't have the single interactions or judgements that people had thrown at their specific character, which are liberally applied throughout the past few GTA games. Everything would seem a lot more...flat. So yeah, I think this would fit better outside of the story.

If you had the basicmost level of comprehension, you would've understood. a mute character that nobody knows nothing about and does oddjobs for a buck , that's the jist of a completly created chracter in a shell. but you don't want to a character creator because it would be too saints row ? not because you think it will damage the history ,something that a mute protagonist without a background will certainly most do. ok. i'm sorry that my lack of most basic comprehension difficults the chance of debating this.

American Viking Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've often thought that and I'd love that. Really, if they just give us a preset name and backstory then we could design his look. This would give the game a unique experience every playthrough.

Luddite Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 How far? CJ could do almost everything but change his race. I think that is enough. The story is written for and about a specific character. Can you see customising CJ's race or Micheal's age? Wouldn't work.

No. anyways R* has always given us a pre made character. I doubt that's going to change. Edited January 17, 2015 by dreadluxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashon. Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 It's more interesting to learn the protagonist's personality and identity. Saints Row should be the boss of that full customization theme. Shadowfennekin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
