NPC daily routines 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 open-world consequences 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 system would make NPC daily routines matter during actual gameplay? What should a newcomer understand first? What layer of this topic deserves a deeper breakdown?
