The publication added that one of the early creative decisions was to design narrower roads with more traffic than those in GTA 5. According to the text, Rob Nelson mentioned that in 2014 a prototype of Red Dead Redemption 2 was presented that allowed players to greet or insult non-player characters instead of aiming at them; that system would also return in GTA 6, more advanced.
