    A game like this won't fit and a lot of the game mechanics would have to be changed to even make the game work on consoles. Console players, tend to just run round and not interact with each other on games like GTA and so why would it be different on this game which has no roaming AI.

    I can see why repeated questions bug you James.

    So you want to start a King and Queen kinda thing, like the UK? I'm not sure how well that would work considering that the map is based off the USA and that means Democracy.

    The United States is a democratic republic, not a democracy.

    Imagine a scenario that involves a massive forest fire that requires fifty firefighters to extinguish the flames for a few days.

    Yes, but the fact that there will be no fires in the city makes the experience unrealistic. That is what ruins it for me.

    Get paid to teach people the "way of life" to survive

    Getting paid to teach people the "way of life" to survive? Sounds like you should call it Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts instead of Survivalist Class. And there won't be any children in Identity. The developers want realism and "the average everyday life" in Identity. And I've never even thought Survivalist classes existed. Usually the kinds of things you learn about living in the wild are from Scouts or it's handed down from within the family. There are guides, but I don't know if the developers will even add that as a career. Hunting looks to be straightforward, I doubt there will be any wild plantlife that can be consumed, we don't know if the weather will have adverse effects on our character's bodies, and I'm sure there will be an in-game map.

    One issue that my person possesses with the criminal element of the game:

    A criminal should not be incarcerated for an offense unless the Law enforcement officer, detective, or state possesses PROBABLE CAUSE to incarcerate the individual. For example, a human being should not be deemed as a "suspect" for executing a citizen within the woods at 3:30AM in the morning until evidence confirms that the suspect or individual had committed the act through a combination of methods.

    First scenario: A suspect executes a female within the middle of the woods at 3:30AM on Monday. The suspect departs from the location while dropping a tissue on to the ground approximately half a mile from the deceased body. On Wednesday, a jogger or hiker witnesses the deceased body in order to report the offense to Law enforcement officers. The Law enforcement officers secure the scene while investigating the cause of death, date, and time while searching for evidence to confirm the identity of the suspect. Afterwards, canine units are summoned in order to scavenge for evidence until the Law enforcement officer discovers a tissue that is required to be examined by forensic scientists. After the evidence is examined, Law enforcement officers confirm that the tissue that consists of mucus was either A) a former felon known as _______ or B) Unknown suspect. Thus, Law enforcement officers resort to conducting road-blocks in order to swab the gums of an individual. Eventually, the DNA shall be the confirmed suspect, resulting in his arrest on Saturday.

    Second scenario: A suspect executes a female along the roadside and drags her body to a river on Monday. After three days, one of the character's peers, family members, employee, or employer contacts Law enforcement officers regarding a "missing person". The suspect is NOT charged with the offense considering that the female might have merely "ran away" rather than being deceased. Thus, after a week, a trucker locates the body of a female that is hidden within the bushes of the road during his "piss break", resulting in the confirmation that the female has been executed. Once again, Law enforcement officers are expected to continue to process of investigating the incident prior to determining whether the suspect had committed the crime....

    Third scenario: A suspect stabs a male in the middle of the street at 4:00PM. Several citizens had witnessed the criminal act. Thus, the description of the suspect's physical appearance is disclosed to Law enforcement officers. Law enforcement officers utilize the description in order to incarcerate the individual.

    Etc...

    A suspect should not be classified as a "criminal" that has committed a "criminal offense" if his person were to execute an individual within the middle of the woods, identical to Grand Theft Auto.

    TL;DR:

    BAD: *Stabs man in woods*.... *WANTED*.
    GOOD: *Stabs man in woods*... *NOT WANTED*... *INDIVIDUALS WITNESSES DEAD BODY*... *POLICE CONDUCT FULL-SCALE INVESTIGATION*... *AFTER ATTAINING EVIDENCE, SUSPECT IS ARRESTED*

    Detectives exist to look at the evidence, get witness statements, and present a case to prosecutors. But even then it's not a foolproof system. If a case can not be built to bring a suspect under prosecution, then yes they'd get away with it. I do wonder if detectives will get a automatic notification of someone who was killed though, or if the body has to wait for someone to discover it. If the body has to wait for someone to discover it, I wonder how effective the system will be, as many players just want to focus on doing their own thing.

    You're right, you'll never know what someone is going to be like when they're in office! That's the chance you take when you elect someone! But I'm a good one for sure, search me on Google!  @PrezLegend on all social media! I'm just a young guy trying to make it big like everyone else and I see my place in politics!

    Politicians like to make a good name for themselves on media in the beginning as well. But they reveal their true colors as soon as they are elected. Sorry, but I can't the word of whatever the social media says about you seriously.

    I will be one. But not half the population will be. People have different ambitions. And not everybody likes cops. I do see a lot of people talking about the criminal and business careers. I've seen a few people talking about the politics career as well. People are a diverse species. The good thing about Identity is that it allows you to be many things.

    That's not quiet right they are talking about a Stress System. Maybe you wanna look the Video again. Go to the Question: "What Systems do you have to prevent RDM?"

    -Noe Rock

    That is what I meant. A stress system. But a karma system sounds like something that would measure the good and bad decisions you make with the character.

    I wouldn't call myself power hungry! I just want the Island to have a good Governor and I feel I could be one. I'm a politician in real life and would like to live that life in Identity as well! You've spoken a lot about me and my ways! Staying curious asking questions and things! I appreciate it! Don't worry I won't be a dictator with crazy laws and things! 

    Spoken like a true politician, talking like you will do more good than harm. A lot of bad politicians talked like that in the beginning. We don't know that for certain Prez.

    We would just continue relecting the same person! That way we could be sure all the laws remained the same and pay grades for officers stays the same!

    I doubt the politics career will work like that. And to be honest, I think that's a good thing. What if a governor became corrupted? We don't know if there will be a corruption prevention system for the politics career like there will be for the law enforcement career. We as players deserve the right to inspect every politician in the game and choose whether they have the right to lead us. You are starting to sound power hungry Prez.

    Honestly, with the amount of individuals that are going to be pursing a life of crime and the amount it costs to purchase a property like that.. your home (let's pretend people could break into) would be broken into every time you turned around. Ultimately, it wouldn't be worth it if that was the case unless only 1 person (or party) could break into your house per X amount of time.

    In the real world, because crime comes with serious repercussions, people are stuck with a serious decision. Of course that's why most of today's criminals are lowlife dirt bag's who can't think more than a minute ahead. Otherwise maybe they'd consider what's actually coming and what they're actually risking when they do what they do.. or maybe they've got nothing to lose, don't care about themselves anymore, and generally have such a low self-esteem to as even worry about something like jail time; Some people are risk taker's, after all..

    Of course though they're risking serious time, or worse.. death. This is why I personally support long jail times, sure people don't like it but that's the point! Jail sucks, get used to it; Regardless, you're not guilty if you don't get caught so put a little consideration into your next move. ;)

    Over all let's consider a balancing act, a compromise; So when you begin to break into a house let's assume you have a lockpick (for a lock) or a crowbar (for a window), now let's say it takes 1 minute to successfully break into a home (based on your 'experience' (which I assume is a system they'll have).. A silent alarm (or evident one as configured by owner) could trigger notifying local law enforcement. Chances are, a patrol officer will happen to be nearby.. can ya guess what's next? Bad boy bad boy, whatchia gunna do... Yea, you get the picture. (I imagine the alarm will be purchasable so only people who actually have stuff they care about will have an alarm and you can only attempt to break into someone's house if an X amount of law enforcement are on to prevent abuse) - Ultimately if this were the system, I'd be happy to say I support the function to break into other people's homes.

    That's not what the developers are going to do. Sure, it would be realistic, but it would also create a lot of unhappy players and complaints.

    I think this is pretty simular to the Stress System they talked about. 

    It also prevents people from RDMing so I don't see a need for this. 

    Here is the Q&A Video were they talked about it:

    Not quite Noe. A karma system measures the behavior in game, such as those who decide to play as good characters and bad characters. But the system that the developers were talking about judges people who are disrespectful on microphone and the cops if they are corrupted.
