NPC Interaction

GTA 6 inherits Red Dead Redemption 2's ambient interaction system: the Extended Look shows conversations initiated with passers-by, with the familiar greet/antagonize framing, and — the detail that traveled furthest — dogs can be petted. In a series whose crowds were previously set dressing, systemic NPC interaction is a meaningful simulation upgrade and interlocks with the game's social-media satire layer. Dialogue depth, reputation consequences and per-NPC memory are unconfirmed.
