So GTA VI is rumored to have a trans girl as a main character

On the one had, ok I don’t mind. On the other, I have a strong suspicion that shit’s going to hit the fan.

I am concerned specifically about the state of modern gaming as a whole and how it can cripple any potential Lucia has.

    They could write the game like that and define the story for any character, it wouldn’t suddenly stop being GTA.

      The gameplay would still be GTA but the type of story would be totally different

          I think their point is that you’re giving up a lot of story potential by having to work around the player being a customizable character with no characteristics set in stone, they can’t really be characters as much as they’re just player stand-ins, which is a problem for a game like GTA where the player character is a well-defined, fleshed out character where various things about them matter a lot in the story, like Niko Bellic in GTA IV being from Eastern Europe and having fought in a war for example

            Yeah i know that they mean that, but i still do not see how it is a problem outside of small formula change.
