Second character as friendly NPC?

[evd]

So while we have 2 open slots of 4 for our characters Im thinking how this can be important for the future ONLINE base? For know it seems quite logical to have an otpion to call the SCh for limited time help (maybe for 15/20 minutes per in-game day).

Basically the idea here gives us more interactivity, like fast-racing, dealing with cops.

Every death of the NPC character would obviously means extra costs in case of their death.

 

Also, this would get us to doing Online heists by yourself, with 3 of your other characters. And here comes the formula from SP, with switching between all of them. Since it would be easier, the payouts should be balanced, or the availability of those heists should be limited. 1 per week?

The main advantage here is that You dont need to wait and count on other players. Its kinda obvious that the history will repeat itself and there are some empty lobbies waiting for us. This "Summon NPC" otpion could deal with it.

Inb4 everyone says "current gen has no slots anymore" who says the characters cannot move closer together in a lineup.

 

A neat Idea although heists are pretty much solo missions already.

well its not all about heists, but more like having a npc partner on free roam basis. The a.i. from Gay Tony episode gives npc abbility to follow in a separate car, so here You can do quick race with an a.i. NPC, just like in SP.
