Well there is a city in the mountain area, but I cannot remember it's name at the moment, so there may be a good possibility there will be snow there. Same with there may be some cabins on the mountain itself too, which may be more of what you are looking for

Lol I am actually a fan of Rockstar and I look foward to RDR2, and enjoy the GTAO2 rumours. I just can admit they botched GTAO and essentially released a beta version. Even today, it is not what they proclaimed GTAO to be. Instead they (The Houser Brothers) settled for micro-transactions and over pricing the in game market. Making them cockheads to me, and many other long-time GTA fans. I am truly hoping that Identity lights a fire under GTAO's ass and makes Cockstar step their sluggish game up. I loved Bikers DLC, but I am not waiting another 3 years for Part 2. Or another year for sub-par heists that were promised since launch. Thus Cockstar until they step up. Maybe RDR 2 will make them Rockstar again, but without Leslie Benzies, I do have some concerns.

This is an awesome idea, and with the right people working together could be easily accomplished.

Just a heads up, I am positive there was a huge thread discussing the idea or B&E, Home Invasion, and Robbery...

I am not sure it Asylum is using a Euphoria engine, but I would assume rag-doll physics will be implemented. It has become a standard for base physics, even for sports games that normally would use base animations. My hope is that the vehicle and damage physics are hyper real. I would love to see crashes IG similar to NGDrive

Being a Survivalist is upto you bro, as, like stated, it is not available as a career path. From what devs have told us about it sounds like there are elements one would need for survival, and you could even still follow another career path as a Survivalist (Professor of Survival Skills, Host of a Survival Show, etc) Very cool idea tho, and I hope some characters become wicked survivalists.

It will never happen unfortunately due to the fact that Cockstar would never give Asylum the rights to use Grove Street. With that being said, LS is a parody of LA, which Asylum could very well do as well if they wanted. Cockstar hold no right to oversee the use of parody/satire, so it is free game for Asylum or any developer. Maybe Asylum will have their own special place like Grove Street, that is more in depth for those that live and hang out there.

Part 1 Of A Major Update To OP. Much More To Come!

Oh I agree completely about voting in the government!

I believe a set term limit may be the best option. What ever the length of a term in office is, perhaps only allow a max of 2-3 terms for each possible character. Also 14 terms is a lot, considering most politics end game is Presidency or in this case, being Governor. Once in said position, it should be considered the climax of your career, because you most likely had to put in time as a local congressman and worked your way up to senator status to final get the opportunity to become Governor. I get in the beginning we may have a set governor, who didn't need to put in the work to get there, and there may be some after our first governor to do the same. We will get to a point tho, shortly after launch, where politians actions in game will mean more than their promises in these threads and posts.

Exactly lol

@Caboose I have mentioned this concept before regarding undercover officers in the force. Since the career path is a linear one, and undercover so far, as far as we know, isn't available as an option. Therefore it would need to be implemented by the players, as there is no set system. My answer to that was for officers who are going to go undercover, would need to publicly cut any Affiliation to the police, and begin to work on their back story (maybe even spend some time in jail to further your depth in undercover). The undercover would then actually try to infiltrate their target, and discretely share any Intel with police. The undercover would still be governed by their career, and therefore couldnt commit criminal acts, but rather work out ways to seem illegal through the aid of policing forces. When there is enough evidence, or if it gets too hot, the undercover is pulled out of his active cover and brought back into the force. Then the sting operation would be executed or would be ended. The only issue I see with this theory is we don't know if higher up rankings could reassign lower ones, to put that undercover back to his rightful place once he rejoins the force.

Oh it very well could be a bad thing lol. It is a consequence of being so public about our businesses tho. Also it may spike interest due to the fact people know that the police even are watching you

Thank you for your answers to my questions. I can say from your responses that I may be misreading some of you OP. How would you regulate this possible National Bank if I may ask? I understand the board of 12, but will there be stipulations or restrictions on what the board could do, or propose for the economy?

I get one can do that, but to the public it would still be seen as a conflict of interest, and a possible avenue of corruption for the establish governing body in power. How could the public fully trust their governor when that same governor not only owns the banking establishment, but governs the banking establishment? Trust could never be fully established between the government and the citizens in a situation like this.

You merging your private business into Congress throws so many Red Flags up for me. How do you know the economy will be stagnant? How can you insure any of these apparent plans will actually be successful?

You can manufacture your own clothing, however you will need the resources and tools to do so. As for Trade Marked, Copy Righted, and Patented Brands probably won't be allowed to be used in game, due to the fact Asylum could be held liable, which, if sued, would kill this game... It doesn't matter how YouTube see copyrighted material, this is a video game from a independent developer. YouTube has a legal team on retainer for any copyright issues, however I doubt Asylum has a legal team, meaning if sued, it is on the development team. As for Painting/Drawing, again you will need the resources and tools to do so. It is unconfirmed if you can paint on any substance in game, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. Possible vandalism would be cool

This is seriously still a topic of discussion? What true purpose would an alien easter egg serve? It isn't like Asylum has referenced aliens before, which is normally how easter eggs are established. For example, most aliens in GTA V, are an easter egg to the aliens in GTA SA, which was an easter egg for the geography they created in GTA SA (Due to the fact Las Venturas is a mix of Nevada and New Mexico) An alien easter egg wouldn't fit Identity due to multiple reasons; Geography, Content, Focus Of Game, etc. Perhaps other conspiracy based easter eggs regarding Illuminati or a Secret Government, but I doubt Aliens.

@Micky_Tohmpson that is fine, just as long as our businesses don't interrupt each other. I am pretty sure we can work around each other, and maybe even work together.

Sound brother. You know where to find party supplies, we know where to get shiny and loud toys. Lol

There is many ways to think outside the limitations of the game, it is true. However you must take into consideration how the game will operate in order to properly think beyond its limitations. I would suggest reading everything you can regarding how vigilantism and corruption are to be implemented into the game, if they are. After finding out if it is even possible, then perhas start drawing out your ideas. Just a thought friend

There is no information.... as a future cop, shouldn't you already be trying to build profiles on potential criminals and high value targets?

My mistake, I thought they did mention police Helicopters by I am mistaken.

From what Devs have stated there will be detectives in Identity. From what has been discussed there will be a evidence style system in order to add a unique experience to the role. We don't really know the depth of detail in how a crimescene will be, or how detailed the detective role will be, we just know it does exist.

Hey brother, you concept for your character and the path you wish to take them is very interesting. I think it could be very fun too depending on how serious you become about the drug game and the drugs you produce. I run a motorcycle club known as Feared N Fearless MC and we are always looking to expand our businesses with new ventures and opportunities. In order to avoid any prying eyes on the forum, I will PM you regarding your business and your ability.
