Appreciate the post OP, gotta say I'm on team "IDGAF about GTA" though. It's a wannabe RPG, I'd rather play Baldur's Gate 3 for the 5th and 6th times instead.

What an unusual take. I've never thought about GTA as an RPG but an action game.

The last one I played, you had to go to the gym to level stats that were tied to abilities like sprinting. If you ate the wrong food you got fat. There's quests to do for people all over town, character customization in the form of clothing etc etc. It's a hell of a lot closer to the Witcher 3 than it is Final Fantasy but it's a roleplaying game in disguise imho.

I remember back in the day when I would level muscles to 100% in San Andreas and none of my friends believed me when I said I didn't cheat. Good times, simpler times...
