Yo, folks. This is more of a thoughtchild right now, rather than a concrete suggestion - if something like this doesn't already exist.

 

I've gotten back into the GTA V mood as of recent, and spent the better part of my evening re-modding my game following a reinstall. Now, ScripthookV is out of date so I can't play yet, very big sad times.

 

Prior, using Albo's modifications for LSPDFR+ and assorted modifications, you had better tools at your disposal to provide the long game, and not feel as if your arrests don't matter. I replaced this with CompuLite, as it is working as intended.

 

I haven't yet truly seen this yet, but it would be nice if for example you could suspend someone's driver's license, or even confiscate it (often in speeding/driving-related crimes). I think it'd be a nice touch if there's a possibility that these NPC's are then encountered again in various crimes. I'm not sure how you'd do this, possibly a database?

 

I think it'd be funny as all hell when you confiscate someone's driver's license, and then encounter them three other times behind the wheel, and internally facepalming like "Not again.".

 

Not sure if I'm completely off-base here, but I'd love to hear some thoughts about how this would be perceived, if it were ever made. I for sure can't make it, but maybe this gets the ball rolling in the right direction?

Instead of maintaining a database, another solution would be to have an XML file to keep track of the data.  The same file could be used and constantly modified across play sessions.  Most people use Bejo's plugins, so he would need to be the one to implement this so it plays nicely with his other plugins.

This is certainly an interesting idea and something we have explored a bit already. Currently, whenever a suspect escapes during a pursuit, there is a chance you will encounter them again throughout the world. It is quite basic right now as it uses the same vehicle and just triggers another chase but the groundwork is definitely there. If you have some more ideas in what type of situations you could re-encounter people, I'd be happy to hear them.

Thank you for your response!

 

Personally, I think it'll add a level of hilarity and realism to the modification, depending on how someone wants to go about it.

 

Personally, I think a car chase being lost can have several implications. That person can rob a bank/store, that person can crash somewhere, that person can ditch the car somewhere safe (light it on fire?) and go on foot. Boundless options.

Crazy idea (because the chances of it happening in the GTAV engine are slim and none) but an awesome idea.
I wish games had more mechanics like this, similar to Kenshi. The world is alive beyond the players recognition.
 

Sort of similar thing happens to me already: there's this very specific ped, I forget his name, but I think part of it is "Abdul".

 

I have pursued and arrested Abdul maybe three separate times now. All pursuits. Same guy, too: bald, wearing some sort of jersey or t-shirt, vaguely Middle-Eastern.

 

Great guy. Waiting for call number four.
