Playing as Two Characters at Once - Your Thoughts?

[Twistedmindgame]

All these suggestions sound awesome, but would probably not be implemented for balance reasons regarding different levels of the characters or whatever blah blah it would be too much work for them. Still, I've got one of my own;

 

What if instead of paying Lamar 1k every time I want to mug another player, I paid a 1 time charge of 100k for free muggings done by my other character?(details to be balanced, but w/e)

 

Honestly, I'd be happy with the second character hanging out in the first character's properties, but they'd probably want you to own the same properties on both characters(which I wish we did by default anyway, but now we're getting into pure wish fulfillment territory)

 

I just wish the second character were an entity existent on the same plane as the first, like if the garage mechanics, or bartenders in your properties can exist processing issues, why not your custom 2nd character? Hell, the office assistants have more outfits than players can save, so that's not an issue.

Roll-playing with two characters would be so unique; Pretending that your pair of Male and Female characters are like Bonnie and Clyde for example.

Or they are siblings or had some other backstory that your create to make the relationship more interesting.

Playing with two male characters could let you pretend that they are Brothers or old friends or even a badass father-son team. The combinations are so appealing to think about. Two female characters could be really cool too.

Tag teaming with both your online characters is seriously the best concept that I've herd on this forum!

That would be a great way to play if we could have the other character tag along and switch when we need to, I would love that. I've also been thinking it would be awesome if at a certain level you unlocked an AI bodyguard who you could style however you wanted and that tag along when you want and you level them up and kit them out as they progress, so that eventually they are a fantastic sidekick and can play a support role in contact missions and other scenarios.

Your'e feeling lonely huh?

 

Yes, I never even see Johnny on the spot anymore and my assistant never leaves her desk, not even to get a coffee.

Characters sharing properties would be good enough. I'd pay millions to unlock that feature.

they'd just get murdered by players though

This whole idea was not meant for public lobbies. Only solo sessions and contact missions.i suppose but they'd still likely get murdered because the ai is sh*t.

 

they should turn up in a hydra and have the ai laser ai, be invisible and indestructible and go at 100x normal speed

My female character would be like Quiet from Metal Gear, lurking atop buildings with a heavy sniper as overwatch. If I had no use for one or the other theyd just stay in the safehouse with sleeping and playing video games.

 

They could implement a capture the flag mode in which someone steals your idle character as your crew and friends try to get them back. Id hook up a car battery to a lot of your characters or just plain out waterboard them as you watch their health meters drop. It would spice Freemode up a bit ya know... give it some purpose. Of course with PvP theyd have to remove KD ratio.

 

On another note just imagine the possibilities with Director Mode.

The possibilities of making missions more varied are endless with another AI companion.

-You go ground while your Ally uses your customized Rogue to give you air support
-You roll in a Nightshark to grab the objective and get out ASAP, Ally has a Tank to blast everything for you.
-Ally joins you on the ground with an Incendiary Revolver to hilariously burn your enemies to death.
-Ally uses an RPG and takes the high ground to rain death from above. Great for anti-vehicle purposes
-You steal an objective related vehicle while your Ally uses a custom Stromberg to assist in Anti-Air and Anti-Ground at the same time.

Endless fun in my opinion.

Something like this would really breathe some new life into the game more than any number of new cars or businesses could, so long as they give us some command options in the interaction menu for the AI. Perhaps allow us to use waypoints to direct them to travel to a certain destination? Could work wonders for business deliveries like the vans/garbage trucks being able to have a character ready and waiting at the next post op van so you can immediately get back to delivering while the other character is busy travelling back to the vans off screen..

But we know GTAO is more a monopoly now than an ever evolving experience for the players. Rockstar has arrived, why do they care what the players gain from gameplay. They are no longer trying to be the best.

Cant wait for my other character to kill everything for me, then run me over.
