In GTA San Andreas, CJ could build muscle at the gym or gain weight by eating too much. Rockstar has returned to that idea for Jason and Lucia. Rob Nelson told Japanese magazine Famitsu how everyday activities may affect the protagonists' bodies.
Eating and training will have practical effects
Overeating may increase the protagonists' weight. Going to the gym will allow them to develop strength and muscle through exercises that require the player's participation. Food and drinks may also provide temporary benefits to attributes such as health and stamina.
Previews also described visible changes linked to fatigue and the protagonists' habits. The aim is for everyday choices to show on the characters' bodies, combining customization with simulated daily routines.
The idea is to make food and exercise part of the characters' lives without turning every meal into a mandatory task. The player's chosen habits may affect both their appearance and their readiness for different activities.
