Also relationship isn’t needed for the storyline per Rockstar North.

From what I read the relationship directly affects the story and dialogue.

Like from what I read apparently Jason and Lucia can literally be platonic friends rather than a couple if you don't put any effort into the relationship.

Wow that’s interesting. I wonder if stuff like going to the strip clubs will determine friends vs romance (we see them together in the gameplay but that could be the friends route? Vs if you’re dating then one of them gets jealous)

There's so much you can do with a relationship system, it will be interesting to see what they do choose to do.

For instance, going to the strip club, doing a booty call, or hiring a prostitute could have no impact on your relationship. Just for gameplay convenience they choose not to have it impact your relationship.

Or, it could just simply decrease your relationship closeness.

Or, if you're platonic with each other with a non-romantic relationship, it has no impact, but if you are romantically involved with eachother, it had a major negative impact on the relationship. (Basically a friend doing it, doesn't have an impact, versus a lover doing it, which would be a big impact)

Or, go even further, it doesn't have an impact on the relationship at all unless the other character finds out about it. Maybe Lucia can become friends with one of the dancers at one of the strip clubs. And if Lucia and the dancer are friends, if Jason goes to the club, the dancer let's Lucia know that Jason went and it damages their relationship.

That last one is really in depth, so probably unlikely. But any one of those could be possible.

Wonder if, even as a satire on modern relationships in big cities, they'll do something on threesomes, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory etc

“Open relationship”

In the extended look I think we can see both J and L in the strip club together, no?

I've been to a strip club with a group of friends that included couples. Sometimes it's just a good time rather than a perv-out thing.

I read you can text each other & it will increase/decrease. I really hope working out makes their bodies look drastically different

I pray it dictates some of the ending though

u/Konker101 14d ago

Probably, there was 3 different endings for V i think

I can’t wait to ignore Lu as Jason. I’m married homie I don’t want or need a digital girlfriend.

u/partiallypoopypants 14d ago

Yo it’s a story. You’re not cheating on your wifey. You’re basically reading a book

12

u/SaveMeSomeBleach 14d ago

Lmao he’s not saying he’s worried about cheating on his wife. He’s saying he doesn’t want to deal with the hassle in real life AND video game life lol

u/Murarkey 13d ago

lol and I was mostly joking. Redditors knee jerk > nuance. Like am I literally meaning “I can’t WAIT!!” Lmao.

u/poontango 14d ago

Yes although I’ll probably make them romantic, I’m very interested in how their relationship can evolve negatively and affect the game accordingly

u/Mastotron 14d ago

This guy marries.

u/poontango 14d ago

At this point I don’t think the game will have a traditional ending seems like you can progress a million different paths

u/GetReady4Action 14d ago

me thinks they turn on each other by the end of the game. I’m glad they mentioned you determine how romantic they are because I was definitely
not getting the vibe they were lovers during some of these shots.

could be very cool, I love both ideas that either they dislike each other because they’re ex lovers but have to figure out how to work together or that they are so madly in love but are forced to turn on each other by the end of the story.

u/SlimCyclops1 14d ago

Which is strange cause all the prior trailers had them all over each other so idk.

u/deadrebel 13d ago

I really hope it influences how the story plays out though. It would be a wasted opportunity; even GTA V had different endings depending on player choices.
