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.

    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.
