Mission freedom only matters if it changes normal play, not just one scripted mission.
A weak version of this discussion is just “is this good or bad?” A stronger version asks how making chaos believable changes player behavior: what people expect, what they prepare for, and what they stop assuming.
Three things would make the topic more useful:
- whether it produces stories players can retell
- how the system behaves when the player is not following a mission
- whether it creates consequences without becoming annoying
Русский вывод: В геймплее важны системы, которые работают не только в миссиях. Если мир реагирует на действия игрока сам по себе, GTA VI будет ощущаться намного живее.
So I would put the question this way: What visual detail would tell you the most about mission freedom? What would be the next useful confirmation? What would confuse a new player here?
